Feed My Starving Children

As part of a team organized service project last Thursday, a group of over sixty players and coaches of the North Central College Cardinal football team volunteered two hours of their time to pack meals for an Aurora based organization named Feed My Starving Children. Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding starving children in more than sixty countries worldwide. In about two hours, the Cards packed 139 large boxes of food which consisted of thousands of meals. These meals are enough to feed 83 starving children for an entire year. For more information about Feed My Starving Children and how you can volunteer your time, visit their website at http://www.fmsc.org/Page.aspx?pid=361.

Recruiting Update

I would like to start by welcoming another talented recruiting class into the North Central College Football Family! As of today, May 8th 2009, 56 athletes have put down a deposit and are committed to playing for the Cardinals! In addition, there are 5 more recruits who have verbally committed. This is especially exciting as we have just added a 9th freshmen game. Beginning on September 13th, our newcomers will participate in game competition each and every week through November 8th! As the recruiting coordinator, I would like to publicly thank all the coaches, admission counselors, players and administrative staffs that have helped these fine young men enjoy their recruiting experience and make the decision to attend North Central College.

With next season’s team returning 17 key starters that are seniors or juniors, it was imperative to follow up last season’s recruiting class with another very talented group. As the recruiting season comes to a close, the coaching staff feels our last 2 classes have solidified our future at each and every position. This should allow the Cardinals to continue to be the winningest program in the CCIW! (25-3 over the last 4 seasons)

This years recruiting class features 7 players from out of state and brings our team total up to 18 (FL -5, MO-3, MI-3, IN-2, AZ-1, CA-1, KS-1, NJ-1, WI-1). To find out more about each new player, you can visit our web page at: http://northcentralcardinals.com/index.aspx?tab=football&path=football and link to “2009 Recruits” on the right hand side of the page.

As we finish up spring ball and get started on the Switzerland practices, I want to invite any and all recruits to stop out to the stadium and watch a practice. (And if you stop out, bring the best junior player from your high school team to come with you!)

Enjoy your summer and keep working hard.
