   One of these players is John Breneman, a junior transfer to Concordia.
   
   John grew up in Roseville, MN, a suburb of St. Paul. He attended Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis, where his dominance on the basketball court caught the eyes of the coaching staff at North Dakota State, a Division II school. The Bison staff was impressed and gave John a scholarship. The 6'7" forward/center played for two years at NDSU, but playing basketball stopped being fun. "It was a tough situation at NDSU, I decided to transfer somewhere and just be a student. I was considering several places," said Breneman.
   
   Fortunately for the Cobbers, assistant coach Fred Fridley knew John and got wind of his plans to leave NDSU.
   ...
   John has found the MIAC to be a challenging league to play in. "The competition is great and the games can get pretty physical." The adjustment to the league's schedule (where teams play Monday, Wednesday and Saturday games) was not as bad as he had feared. "The NCC schedule was pretty brutal, too, so it wasn't all that bad."
   
   John has been battling ankle trouble off and on all season, but it has not stopped him from becoming the Cobbers' leading scorer (10.7 points a game) and rebounder (5.7 rebounds per game). John is earning a reputation around the league as one of the better big men. Concordia has been plagued with injuries this season, and every game at least one player was sidelined or hampered by an injury. Still, the Cobbers are in the thick of the playoff race at the midseason mark and are not conceding anything. "We have a lot of young players and a few transfers, and I'm convinced we can play with anyone in the league," said John. Plus, the road trip to Concordia is a troublesome one for most schools, as it involves a four-hour or more bus ride to play in front of a noisy crowd.
   
   Breneman is majoring in Business Management, and has hopes of owning his own business someday. The tourism industry piques his interest, but his career plans are still uncertain at this point.
