Twelve years ago, our 2013 class developed the True North mentality. Each point on the 5-pointed star is recognized to represent one belief that our program will be built on. Each point on the star is equal to the one before it. The values of Leadership, Investment, Selflessness, Accountability, and Preparation make up our North Star. In the center of the completed stars lies the T.E.A.M. For the past eleven seasons and every moment in between, we have remained consistent in our steadfast belief in these five values. They are our "True North". These beliefs will be our compass in all we do as a program on and off the field. Much like the Northstar in maritime days, we will use our "True North" as the compass we will follow in the journey to the elite. I am proud of these words and what they mean. I have seen them transform lives, including my own. I hope you can share in our "True North" philosophy and discuss these values with your son or daughter as much as possible.

Northstar Football Family,

S- Strong

That is how we are looking at this past week. For 43 minutes we played state caliber football. Unfortunately, we found the banana peel too often and were not able to finish. Our Stars have reflected, refocused and recommitted to our process. They are a resilient bunch and the name of the game this week is RESPOND. We are not are situations but we are our responses. Our kids are going to show the world that when adversity hits we are at our best. I cannot wait to run on the field with these 70 young men. They are an amazing group and we will be taking a bit of every alumni who has worn the blue , black and silver ! Hope to see you there as we take on a new found rival in Wheaton Warrenville South. Emotions will be high but we will be ready!

True North

1-0

Coach Pom

Opponent:WHEATON WARRENVILLE SOUTH TIGERS

Snap Shot: 2-2

Last Week Beat Glenbard North

Losses vs Lyons Township & Geneva

Offense: Zone scheme run game with an explosive passing attack. Perimeter threats who can take it to the house vertically and solid core of TE and WR's .QB Carbonora is 3 year starter who is coming into his own. Can make all the throws and uses his feet well to extend plays. The Stars have to contain the scramble , stay disciplined in the back 5 and provide pressure up front.

Defense: 4-2-5 but multiple in different down and distances. The Tigers do everything technically well. Not a huge group of defenders but well coached and physical at the point. The Stars have to establish and stick to a consistent run game while letting their perimeter athletes separate the scoreboard with their big play ability.

Our program must be the most represented in all of athletics. Our parents raised over 3,000 dollars for our program this past year because of their volunteering efforts for our boosters. Please consider volunteering for these great opportunities. The boosters group is an all-athletics group that creates opportunities for all sports. Additionally, our 4th Phase desperately needs concessions and other positions filled ASAP. If we do not supply the posts, it will directly impact your child's experience in our program. With out the support of every person, we cannot run the program at the capacity it has been used to. If we do not get the help in the coming weeks, we will have to restructure areas of our program which is not ideal.

I hope this message finds you well. As we dive into the heart of the football season, I’m excited to introduce a new initiative that will strengthen our team bonds and keep you informed: our Weekly Update Newsletter.

Here’s why this newsletter matters:

1. Transparency and Connection:

   • Our goal is to foster open communication. The newsletter will provide insights into our team’s progress, upcoming challenges, and off-field initiatives. You’ll be in the loop, knowing what’s happening both on and off the turf.

2. Player Recognition:

   • Each week, we’ll spotlight a player. These profiles go beyond stats—they celebrate character, work ethic, and dedication. Get to know the faces behind the helmets and cheer for their achievements.

3. Game Highlights and Strategies:

   • Whether it’s a thrilling victory or a hard-fought battle, we’ll recap each game. Learn about standout performances, key plays, and areas for improvement. Plus, we’ll discuss upcoming opponents and our strategies to tackle them.

4. Community Engagement:

   • Football isn’t just about the game; it’s about community. Our newsletter will highlight community service projects, academic achievements, and character-building activities. Our players are leaders both on and off the field.

5. Your Questions Answered:

   • Have questions? Our Q&A corner is your chance to ask. Send in your queries, and we’ll address them in the weekly letter.

Remember, our team is a family—a tight-knit community bound by a love for the game. Let’s rally together, celebrate victories, learn from setbacks, and create lasting memories.

Thank you for entrusting your young athletes to our care. Their growth, both as players and as individuals, is our shared mission.
