STARS FOOTBALL EXTRA POINTS
JUNE 19TH - 25TH
TRUE NORTH: SCN FOOTBALL VALUE SYSTEM
Moving into the 2023 season, I wanted to freshen up our Northstar Mentality. Ten years ago, our 2013 class developed the Iron Star Code. 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 ten 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.
For this reason, we will be renaming our Iron Star Code as the St. Charles North "True North" mentality. 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" words and discuss these values with your son or daughter as much as possible. These behaviors win, and belief must exist in our journey to the elite. As we say, championship behaviors preceded championships. We must commit ourselves to these habits until they become our rituals.
I am passionate about these ideologies. I have spent the past ten years working relentlessly to develop this program and the people who are a part of it. While teaching is my job, coaching is my calling. I want to make this program the best high school athletics program in Illinois. I do not say this to toot my own horn; I am sharing this with you to provide insight into what I envision this program can be. The bottom line is that this program is significant to me, as are all of you. I cannot wait to take on the journey of this coming season.

Message from Coach Pomazak
Stars Family,
Happy Father's Day! I hope your family is together and you have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful weather. To all the Dad's out there, thank you for all you do for your children. I know there is no handbook on parenting, and we all try our best. Fatherhood and becoming a parent is the most incredible occupation in the world. Bringing another life into this world is a transcendent moment that changes you the second your child enters this world. I remember vividly when my daughters were born. It was a moment filled with joy, fear, and outright disbelief—every day after has been a learning experience. One thing that I have been told time and time again is to enjoy every moment because it goes fast. As my daughters approach their 10th birthday, I believe more valid words have never been spoken. In a blink of an eye, we go from being daddies to Dad. Enjoy today, and my best to all of the dads.
This past week was the beginning of our TEAM camp. The Stars did not disappoint and brought their best each day we stepped on the field. We had some weather on Tuesday, and it was true champions from our boys who did not miss a step and had great indoor practice. Wednesday was a special day as we spent the afternoon going through our True North Culture playbook. I am so proud to be associated with such a caring and compassionate group of students/athletes. The sky is truly the limit for this group. The end of the week saw our varsity go split squat and our sophs out on their own. It is never easy to split the kids up, but the opportunity for our players to build more minor connections amongst the bigger ones was not lost on the staff or players. The goal right now is to align our arrows and understand our mission, vision, and greater purpose. Our Stars took a significant step in building our culture this past week.
True North
