Ferris State coach Tony Annese called for the @NCAADII to redo its regions after his defending national champions beat @GorillasFB by 3 on Saturday. Northwest lost to Grand Valley State by 5.
Your @NWBearcatMBB stat of the day: @CoachMcCollum's daughter Grace is 10 years old. Grace has never been alive during a time when Northwest Missouri State wasn't the reigning MIAA men's basketball champions.
High school football ... Cooper Loe scores the game-winning TD with 3 seconds left instead of running off the field celebrating, he hugged Truman Bodenhausen — who along with his teammates gave Maryville all they could handle.
In potentially the most obvious choice of all time, the @NABC1927 has named @NWBearcatMBB coach @CoachMcCollum its @NCAADII National Coach of the Year. Ben is the first to thank his family after any of his awards, so here is a photo of the McCollum clan after Saturday's natty.
MARYVILLE, Mo. — Joe Barnes has had a pet project throughout his Northwest Missouri State football career and even during his days at Liberty High School. He has kept it very quiet, only talking about it with family and close friends, but now the Be… maryvilleforum.com/sports/nw…

“ESPN hit me up and asked me when I was going to announce it. And I was like, do I have to announce it? I never thought I had to announce it. I thought people knew I was coming back." ~ @NWBearcatMBB point guard Trevor Hudgins (@TrevorHudgins12) maryvilleforum.com/sports/ma…

“He believes in us and that is a good thing. He is going to put the ball in the playmakers’ hands and then big-time players have to make the big-time plays in big-time games.”

Have to love this from Northwest AD Andy Peterson. Emree Zars went down with an injury that Coach Meyer said "didn't look good." Peterson came from his seat onto the court where Emree was in pain to hold her hand & talk to her while Christy Tapps & Doc Harr took care of her.
“There is an emotional side of it (a transplant) as well. We were all organ donors and have been before this. If you can give a piece of yourself to help someone else carry on, it is the greatest gift you can give someone.” — Shelley Eaton maryvilleforum.com/sports/nw…
.@serena_sundell was recognized as the leading scorer all-time girls or boys in school history. She broke the mark (1,833 points) just 3 games into her senior season. She was recognized at midcourt with teammates @ajeauffert00, @Renshawmolly, @kamryngastler_ and @emcassavaugh.
“I didn’t know if I wanted to do it in Manhattan or Maryville. So for the people in Maryville, that is how much I love y’all.” ~ Northwest point guard and NBA prospect Trevor Hudgins maryvilleforum.com/sports/hu…
"I turned to the guys on the bench & I said, 'I thought he was sick?' I didn't know he was bringing that out. ... That was the nail in the coffin. I haven't heard Bearcat Arena that loud in a long time." ~@Luke_Waters24 on @Diego_Nate's dunk to seal @NWBearcatMBB's @TheMIAA title
.@DowWow_1 and @Diego_Nate each threw down some big dunks tonight in dominating wins for @SpoofhoundBball and @NWBearcatMBB . Who do you think did it better? Retweet for Eli's alley-oop finish. 'Like' for Diego's fast-break jam.
One guy had both teams cheering at @AugieFB and @NWBearcat_FB's joint practice and it was @Pkellogg5's effort in the big man punt catch. Northwest's big guys got the win, but the 6'7, 345 pounder was the most outstanding catch. Full photo gallery coming soon. 1/2

“I knew he was a great athlete, but this really just brought it to real life. Just to see him up there with so many other great athletes, it is incredible and I am really proud of him.”
~ @serena_sundell on her dad and new @TheMIAA HOFer Bob Sundell maryvilleforum.com/sports/ar…
“Our senior class has done things that no one in the history of the MIAA has done and that probably no one will do again. ... I am glad and thankful that they allowed me the opportunity to coach them and be a part of their lives.”

The Dance continues for @RyanHawkins8. 72-69 OT win for @BluejayMBB over San Diego State. Hawk finished with 10 points and 8 rrebounds.
Hawkins is now 13-0 as a starter in the NCAA Tournament.
“We want them to go win state in Class 2 & they want us to go win state in Class 3. It would be cool to say that we both won after the two games that we played against each other.”

“The stage allows you to pass a message — which is tough kids, connected kids, kids that love each other and serve each other still can win. Kids that maintain a level of loyalty, kids who are just awesome to be around can still win." ~ Ben McCollum

Newest Denver Bronco @KadenDavis23: "I feel blessed, I’m grateful for the opportunity and I can’t wait to get to work. This has been a life-long dream of mine to play in the NFL and to be able to do it in Denver just makes it that much sweeter!"
.@serena_sundell started in her first game as a Kansas State Wildcat today. She played a team-high 27 minutes, had 8 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and a team-high 5 assists. Kansas State beat Washburn 68-39.
Former @NWBearcat_FB star Sam Roberts is getting some run today with New England. Here’s his third tackle of the season, bringing down Deuce Vaughn for a short gain.
Austin Meyer (@nw_ameyer) has spent the last several years building up the @nwbearcatwbb program to the point of being an NCAA Tournament team.
Weeks ago, he told administration that he no desire to be the men’s basketball coach.
He will remain the women’s head coach.
Former @NWBearcat_FB QB Tom Kruse was honored as an inductee into the @gkcfca Hall of Fame tonight at halftime. Kruse won 3 Class 5 state championships at Ray-Pec
Tim Jermain announced his retirement as the head boys basketball coach at @PlatteValley1 this afternoon. The numbers for @MoSportsHall coach are staggering over 34 years as a head coach at @albanywarriors, @JC123Eagles and Platte Valley.
Just a quick shout out to the Wing T master @HoundsCoachH. Going though my photos from yesterday and he kind of walked into this one, but he deserves the center stage anyway. His offense hung 39 points on a Savannah defense that was giving up just 15.2 a game previously.
“After I got the call, that is what I told coach. ‘Hey coach, I appreciate the opportunity, I’m coming to get a spot.'”

Braden Wright, who was injured and brought to the locker room on his touchdown run with 12 seconds left, came back out on the field for the postgame huddle and comforted an emotional Mitch Goff.
