NLC - 2023 Season

Program photo from last night of the 23-24 Raiders football k-12 version.

Very cool thing they do at Northridge! Love that picture for the K-12 kids in the entire program!

That Nitro highlight tape 👀.  Like I said they will be ultra athletic, Edmonds definitely looked the part of a stud player and Woods made some nice plays. I don’t know who #6 or 9 were that were playing RB but they looked decent. I think the big uglies on both sides of the ball and LBers will determine the success Northwood has this year.

A good site for all that information is http://www.almanacsports.com/football/

[NRRaider2001]

We are scrimmaging LaPorte tonight in Middlebury, who is everyone else playing tonight?

[00NWP]

Penn is coming to NorthWood tonight...its free admission if you bring non perishables to donate. 

[NLCTigerFan07]

Warsaw is scrimmaging at FW North

Kind of crazy that the Tigers will not play against an opponent until after Labor Day, on September 8th (week 4).

Away for their scrimmage, and away the first 3 weeks of the regular season. SHEESH

[00NWP]

I'd take playing away the first 3 weeks over playing Northridge's 1st four games (home or away).  They have by far the worst / most difficult schedule to start the season in the NLC this year.

Curious to get your take on North after tonight

If I didn't have a wedding tonight, I'd definitely have some good options to go watch, should be 3 very interesting scrimmages

 Cool data.  A little deceiving though because NLC does not break ties....I know one of the years in the 90's (92?), NW-GSH-WAR all tied....they each beat one of the others.  So some of these should have two or three teams ranked #1.

Unfortunately I was not a the scrimmage tonight

[PantherPride]

It’s always hard to gauge what to expect in scrimmages due to how much are teams really showing. But watching the Penn/Northwood scrimmage my takeaways were:

1) Northwood’s defense isn’t going to take a major step back. Penn was able to move the ball and would’ve won if it was a game, but with the size differences they weren’t getting pushed around. Tackling will have to improve, but that is something I’d expect in 1st live action of the year. 
 

2) Offensive line needs to improve. Some suspect snaps and little to no push up the middle.  Again, I expect some of this to improve but the only ability to run the ball was to the outside. 
 

3) speed on offense! Both Nitro and Woods ran right past the secondary, 1 for a TD another a dropped TD.  Edmonds made some nice plays and is really tough to tackle in space.  It really does look like defenses will be in a pick your poison situation this year. 
 

4) The freshmen QB will be a stud in a few years. 

[00NWP]

Week 1 is here!  The first week is always a difficult week to judge / guess the winners of the matchups.  We don’t really know a lot about anyone at this point.  Here are my Week 1 NLC predictions:

Calumet at Plymouth:  I would love to see Plymouth come out and be competitive; however, I don’t see them winning this game.  With Calumet having a new coach, it may help Plymouth, however, not enough to win.  Calumet 35 Plymouth 13

Concord at Elkhart: Concord was a weird team last year in that they played Mishawaka and Northridge very well last year and didn’t perform well other weeks.  Elkhart beat the teams they were supposed to and lost to whom they were supposed too last year.  I think Elkhart is going to be better than last year.  With that said, I think Elkhart will win, but Concord will keep it close.  Elkhart 42 Concord 35

Jimtown at NorthWood: This game is usually a good matchup that most would prefer to see later in the season.  With that said…I don’t think that Jimtown will be able to keep up with NorthWood’s offense.  I think this is one of two running clocks in week 1.  NorthWood 49 Jimtown 13

Mish. Marian at Mishawaka: I’m not sure what we will get from Mishawaka this year.  They lost most of the fellas in the trenches; however, the younger guys may step up.  I don’t see Marian being all that great this year.  I’ll take Mishawaka at home but not by a lot.  Mishawaka 17 Marian 7

Northridge at North Side: Probably the best game of week 1.  I think Northridge will be better than they were last year, and North Side is trending upward and played really well last year.  This will be a slugfest between the Summit and NLC.  I will give the nod to the home team in this contest.  North Side 35 Northridge 28

Tippy Valley at Wawasee: I don’t know a lot about Valley, however, they have been pretty good the last couple of years.  On the other side, Wawasee has not been good the last couple of years.  I hope they boys in Syracuse can turn things around throughout the season and they can be competitive.  I feel like Valley will win easily.  Tippy Valley 40 Wawasee 10

Warsaw at Michigan City: Warsaw may be the best in the NLC this year, Michigan City may be in the bottom of the Duneland.  I don’t think Michigan City will be too competitive in this game and my 2^nd running clock game of the year. Warsaw 42 Michigan City 7

I can’t begin to pick a score until I see a few games to gauge each team’s abilities. That said winners will be:

Calumet, Elkhart, Northwood, Mishawaka, Northridge, Valley and Warsaw. 
Should be a good opening week for the conference.

A longtime Northwood HS "Super Supporter" (as the Goshen News called him) and fellow NLC fan was "humbled" (in his words to me) after the NW football team visited his home over the weekend after Friday's scrimmage.  Larry Weaver (Former Jimtown FB coach in the 70's) is a deep rooted supporter of all things Northwood Athletics.  Knowing him professionally and personally since the mid-90's SF can personally attest to that fact.  Weave, as his friends call him, was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer a couple weeks ago.  He is truly an inspiration how he has taken the news.  I told him "You've never done anything half-assed, and neither is your cancer Buddy".   His step-son posted a pic from that visit that I want to share here.  He is hoping to be able to make it to the Jimtown/Northwood game this weekend.  I know if there is anyway possible - He will be there.  His sons are going to do everything they can to get him to the field one last time.  I hope he can make it there.  Keep him and his family in your prayers.  Thank you to Coach Andrews for making this picture happen.
