This is me dressed up as Coach Andrews for Halloween in first grade. It’s hard to put into words what he means to me. Other than my father, there are few men who have impacted me more. All these years later, I still want to be like him. Hard to put into words. I feel old.
3 @NWHS_Football Coachs in the Top 7. I am blessed to have these men lead our program.
The NLC is entering its 63rd season as a football conference with HOF and Concord legend Tim Dawson leading for career wins as a NLC head coach.
Active coaching leaders
Nate Andrews of NorthWood 96 (he’s ranked 7th all-time)
Craig Koehler of Concord 83 (he’s ranked 9th)

Leaders/Managers/Directors
If you replaced just HALF of your I’s with We’s and threw in some US’s and Our’s instead of more Me’s , how much more of an Team centered Leader do you think you’d sound like ??
It’s worth the practice. The I’s aren’t making you more of a Leader.
From being my teacher, coach, and friend, to coaching together and coaching my own children—Jim Hess is held in the absolute highest regard by the Andrews family.
My column from today is on longtime @NWP_Athletics teacher-coach Jim Hess, who is retiring from teaching and girls basketball but not football. Hess has coached a generation of Panthers and at one time, me. Includes a picture of Hess with some NW legends.tinyurl.com/4nd7d4yj

39 years. Still the first one there. Still the last one to leave.
Paul Widner (@heartrate4life) has been the backbone of NorthWood High School athletics (@NWP_Athletics) since before most of his athletes were born. He tapes ankles, runs rehab, mentors future athletic trainers, and treats every student like family, all while dealing with a level of personal adversity that would sideline most people.
After losing his wife to cancer last year, Paul never stopped showing up. Not once.
Congratulations to Paul Widner, a proud member of our 2026 AT Excellence Award Top 10. 🎉

Kenny Lofton and Tim Stoddard are the only two in history to have played in both the Final Four and World Series. Both men attended East Chicago Washington High School in Indiana. #FinalFour
If you don’t like this then get out and play some defense. It’s not an offense problem.
“There is no greater thrill than moving a man from point A to point B, against his will.” A great camp with truely great coaches.

Great news, around our breakfast table.
Breaking: The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association reached a verbal agreement on the terms for a new collective bargaining agreement that for the first time in league history ties its salary system to revenue growth and is expected to offer $1M salaries.

A legend in these parts. I have always looked forward to reading his words. Twine line was a high light and was good fodder for debate. Thank you it is a well deserved honor.
Our first honoree is Anthony Anderson. Anthony is a staple of sportswriting in northern Indiana, with his work appearing in the Elkhart Truth for 30 years. Anthony continues to write for a variety of papers, with his career now in a fifth decade. Congrats Anthony!
