With the completion of their 2009 camp earlier this week, the North Central College football team finally gets their regular season underway this Saturday against the Ohio Northern Polar Bears. The kickoff is set for 1:30pm (EST) in Ada, Ohio.
With a strong turnout this fall, the Cards look to open their season while maintaining a roster of over 130 players. The 2009 camp saw the Cards remain healthy on all fronts and ready to compete during their long season. With the team 100% the Cardinals are focused on having a strong showing throughout the course of their season in both non-conference and CCIW play.
This years camp was highlighted by a number of activities over the course of two long and grueling weeks. Among these was yet another team organized trip to Feed My Starving Children in Aurora, where the Cards packed enough food to feed over a hundred hungry children for a year. Camp culiminated in a scrimmage against Harper Junior College where the team looked strong in all facets of the game.
The team and coaching staff extends its sincere gratitude to all the faculty and staff of North Central College who helped to make this years camp a success. We would not have success on the field if it wasn't for the wonderful support that the college provides.
With the season only two days away, the Cardinals look to make North Central College and the city of Naperville proud of their efforts on and off the field.
