Hall of Fame
Troy Stonacek is one of the top defensive linemen in school history, being one of only eight Lopers at the position to earn first or second-team NAIA All-American honors. The Pierce native also was a two-time All-District 11 and two-time All-Central States Intercollegiate Conference (CSIC) selection.
The three-year letterwinner and five-year team member was part of Loper squads that won 25 games and two CSIC titles. The 1984 unit was outright champions, the sixth and final CSIC crown for the Lopers. Stonacek played on defensive units that had scoring averages below 19.0 each season and held opponents to under 300 yards per game. Between 1982-85, KSC held nearly a third of its opponents under 10 points.
