Five members of the 2014 Missouri Western football team have been named to the Don Hansen All-Super Region Three Team.

Kicker John Schmiemeier was named to the second team along with defensive back Michael Jordan and punter Scott Groner. Running back Raphael Spencer and offensive lineman Travis Anderson were both third team selections.

Schmiemeier was also named second team All-MIAA. The senior led the conference in field goal percentage (72%) and tied for the league lead in made field goals (18). The Fenton, Missouri native was also perfect on point after attempts and was named MIAA Special Teams Athlete of the Week twice.

Jordan adds to his list of postseason honors. The junior was also a first team AFCA All-American and first team All-MIAA pick in addition to making the DAKTRONICS All-Super Region 3 second team. His 16 passes defended were tops in the MIAA. He also tied for the MIAA lead with four interceptions this season. He took one of those interceptions back 39 yards for a touchdown at Washburn. He was the MIAA Freshman of the year and an honorable mention pick in 2012.

Groner was also a first team All-MIAA selection. He led the MIAA with a 42.2 yard per punt average. He boomed 15 kicks over 50 yards, including a long of 70 yards in the season opener against Central Missouri. The senior also forced 15 fair catches and induced just four touchbacks on 60 punts.

Spencer rushed for 1,126 yards on 243 carries on his way to being named first team All-MIAA. He also moved into third on the all-time rushing list at MWSU after his 145-yard rushing performance at Missouri Southern. The junior rushed for seven touchdowns and averaged 4.6 yards per carry and just over 102 yards per game.

Anderson  was the other Griffon to land on the All-MIAA first  team. The redshirt sophomore started all 11 games for the Griffons at left guard. He helped Spencer to another 1,000-yard season and also was a key part of an offensive line that allowed just 1.6 sacks per contest.
