The world lost a bright light today in Joe Orozco. My deepest condolences to his family and the coaches and players of the Northwestern and EIU football programs. Our North Central football family is devastated. A truly amazing human being gone way too soon.
RIP Joe.
My sincerest condolences to the Lindborg family. Gone way too soon. Evan had just turned 21. He loved helping however he could. He was a hard-working, trusted, valued and loved member of our football family. We’ll miss you terribly. We love you Evan! RIP.

Payton Thorne's 325 yards set a new MSU freshman QB record yards and broke the Spartans' first-game starter record of 324 yards set by Ed Smith in 1978.
1 yr. ago on this 3rd Friday in December our “Chase The Lion” dream was fulfilled as we won North Central’s 1st National Championship! Can’t believe it’s been a year already. Thankful for the memories & lifelong relationships that will share this moment forever.

Leadership = ownership. When things don’t go as planned, leaders own it, and make the necessary changes to fix it. Leaders do not deflect or cast blame on others.
Deflection / Blame = Unfit to lead.

North Central completed, arguably, the most impressive run to a D3 title ever. They became the 3rd first-time champ since 1999, and beat Mount Union and Whitewater to win it. Brad Spencer's offense was why.
