Cardinal receivers coach Brad Spencer was picked to be one of eight coaches for a Division III All-Star game in Mexico this December. The 2009 Tazon de Estrellas (Bowl of the Stars) will take place on Dec. 19 in Monterrey, Mexico and is sponsored by Global Football.
Spencer will assist coaching Team Stars and Stripes, which will consist of over 50 of the top Division III football players in America. The Stars in Stripes will take on Tec de Monterrey University at the Tec Monterrey Campus Estado de Mexico. Tec Monterrey is the premier private university system in Mexico, with campuses in numerous locations around the country. Tec teams have captured eight of the past ten Liga Major football national championships.
This will be Brad Spencers forth time coaching a football team outside of the United States. Previously, Spencer has coached the North Central Cardinals against European competition on three separate occasions. In 2006 the team traveled to Italy and faced the Trieste Mustangs. In 2008 Spencer served as the Head Coach for the Midwest All-Stars. This team, which traveled to Ireland and took on the Dublin Rebels, consisted primarily of North Central College alumni. Finally, this past summer, Spencer and the Cardinals again traveled to Europe and faced the Landquart Broncos out of Switzerland. With a perfect 3-0 record against foreign competition, the Cardinal football program wishes Brad Spencer the best of luck in Mexico.
