Editor-in-Chief addresses freshmen, urges readership You picked up this Cats Guide and inevitably started reading through it — I like you already. Welcome to Northwest, you’re going to thrive here. The Northwest Missourian is a student-run newspaper covering the news on campus and in the community of Maryville. Our mission is to be the best source of information for the community we serve. We know that these are weird times for everyone and that there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the future. My staff and I work as a valuable aid in establishing and maintaining an atmosphere of free and responsible discussion. We are an outlet for bringing student concerns to the fore-
front of attention and for holding the University accountable. We will continue to do so no matter what the semester entails because it’s important to us that you stay informed on the news surrounding Northwest and how it relates to you and your classmates. The Northwest Missourian is distributed every Thursday throughout the fall and spring trimesters and daily online. This academic year, 30 issues will be published with an average length of 12 pages — 4,000 newspapers are printed each week. We promise to keep you up to date with the latest news on campus and around Maryville and to report with accuracy and integrity. But, we need you to support us
too. Aside from picking up a newspaper every week, we want you to engage with us. Our main responsibility is to you, the student. We encourage feedback from you in all forms. Comment on the posts we share to our website and on social media. Send us an email at northwestmissourian@gmail. com. Write a letter to the editor and the Missourian will try to publish every letter — just try to keep it at 250-300 words. Be a guest columnist; the opinion section of the Missourian is an open forum for the community and a place for readers to share their views. If you take anything away from this letter, let it be this — pick up a newspaper; it’s important.

Student Senate president greets incoming class First and foremost, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Northwest and our Bearcat Family. I assure you that this will be a very exciting time and you will have a new community who will join you in this new experience. The college transition will take a little time to solidify. And that is perfectly fine. Be sure to take some time to learn more about yourself. Try partaking in new activities that are outside of your normal routine. Have courage. Utilize your time to make new connections and relationships with those around you. This first year will be the time for you to find your niche. I will definitely recommend that you find an organi-

making the most of RESIDENTIAL LIVING MAKAYLA POLAK Designer | @kaypolak
You’re starting a new journey in your life here at Northwest and just like the vast majority, you are living in the dorms. Whether it is Hudson-Perrin, Dieterich, Millikan, South/North Complex, Tower Suites, Forest Village or Franken, you’re now part of the dorm life.
The dorms are going to be your home for the next year. Living in the dorms will help you gain the full first year experience at any college. Living in the dorms is one of the best ways to get involved with campus right away. You will be able to build relationships within your dorm and find some of your best friends. You might be moving into
Pitzenberger BODY SHOP
your room with a friend from high school, or someone new that you met on RoomSync. Whichever it is, one of the first people that you are going to make friends with is your roommate, but you will learn soon that expanding your friend circle will happen sooner or later, and the best place is to meet them in your dorms. There is more to living in the dorms than the basics of a
place to live. With living in the dorms, you might realize that it is a bigger change than you thought. I lived in Hudson my first year and found a few tips that helped me along the way. Following some of the tips while living in your new home can help you survive in the best way possible. The following page features the top 10 tips for living in the dorms.

Set a timer when doing laundry. People do not wait for you to get your laundry out of the washer or dryer and you might just end up with your clothes on the table for everyone to see. Setting a timer can help you avoid this problem.
The bigger the trash can the better. Depending on the floor you live on, the walk to the dumpster can be a long one. To avoid either building up a trash pile in your room or taking the trip too often, have a bigger trash can in your room.
Make friends with the people you share a bathroom with. The people you share a bathroom with are the people that you are going to see almost every day through the good and the bad. Things in your area will run smoothly if everyone gets along.
Go to as many floor and hall activities as possible. Although it seems lame, it is a great place to meet friends and have a good time, and who knows, maybe you will find a new hobby and a group of friends to do it with.
The green container is your friend. You will get a green to-go container for the Bearcat Commons. Take it with you and after you finish eating your meal, fill it with everything your heart desires for a midnight snack or a quick lunch.
Bath mats for the showers are a must. Get together with the other people you share a bathroom with and pitch in money to buy a bath mat. You will realize that the puddle of water outside the shower is actually problematic.
A rolling laundry basket makes your life so much easier. It won’t be easy to take the stairs when you do laundry; having a basket with wheels makes a world of a difference. Not only do you have to take clothes, but all of your laundry product, and they get heavy.
Sleep comfortably with a mattress topper. The beds in the dorm are all the same and not comfortable to everyone. Buying a mattress topper will make sleeping in the dorms one of the easier parts of your transition.
Having a printer will cut many costs. You will have classes that require you to print off every single paper you write and the articles you used for sources. Instead of paying for each paper, you can get a printer that you can keep for the next few years.
You need to have a fan in your room. There will be days that it is too hot to open the window and the A/C is not going to keep up. Small or large, having a fan will help you survive the hot days in Maryville.

SO YOU DECIDED TO TRANSFER... MADELINE MAPES News Reporter @MadelineDMapes
From one transfer student to another: here’s a few things I learned in my first semester at Northwest as a transfer student So you have just transferred to Northwest from another college or university — now what? I was in a similar position my first semester at Northwest. I transferred from a community college after getting my associate’s degree and decided to live off-campus. I’m not going to lie; it was hard in the beginning. I was living alone in a new town, at a new school, where I knew very few people. I spent the entire summer running back-and-forth between my parents’ house, almost two hours away, so I wouldn’t be alone all of the time. When school kicked in, I started my classes in my degree, and as the semester went on, I started to get to know my classmates, but none that I really talked to all that much outside of class. I struggled to get
through the days, and the way I coped was by burying myself in my school work. At one point in the semester, I decided it was time for me to get a job and have some form of income since I felt that I had my school work under control. I went to one of my professors and asked if there was a way I could do freelance writing as a young mass media student. He informed me that I had not yet acquired the skills to freelance, but he did tell me that the campus newspaper was hiring. He got me in contact with someone and this led to me getting a job on campus. Ever since I joined the campus newspaper, I have made friends and filled the void of loneliness that began to grow at the beginning of the semester. It was like joining another little family and it helped me a lot as a transfer student. What I am trying to get at is don’t be afraid to ask for help and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. I stepped forward and asked for help when I knew I needed it, and I wound up with a pretty cool job in the career field that I plan to be in and with a cool group of people.
Four tips for living off campus in Maryville Deciding to live on or off-campus at a new college can be difficult for students. There are so many things to consider: How much can I afford each month? How far should I live from campus? How often will I have to buy groceries? How much do I have to budget every month just to survive? Let’s just say, moving out on your own is an intimidating task. After I transferred from my community college, I moved into an apartment by myself. I did not know anyone in town who needed a roommate, and I didn’t know anyone else enrolling at Northwest. One thing I did know is that I did not want to live in a dorm and that I could afford to live off-campus. When I moved out, I had very little experience with paying bills and maintaining a space to call my own that wasn’t a bedroom in my parents’ basement. I had to do quite a bit of planning and saving to get my own place, but I am glad I did it. It is nice to have a space to do as you please whether you move in with a few roommates or if you move out on your own, like me.
1 When buying groceries, consider all of your options. Hy-Vee has a discount for Bearcats with their Bearcat Cards. There is also Walmart for all of your larger needs when you first move in. 2 Always budget your money. When budgeting, leave some emergency money. You never know when you are going to have to get your car fixed or if you need an emergency milkshake at 9 p.m. 3 Plan out times to visit home every now and then. Sometimes you just need a weekend with your friends and family to reset. 4 Look for apps where you can get points from groceries. I use an app, Fetch Rewards, that allows me to scan my grocery receipts and I get points for buying certain products. The points get me gift card codes that I can use later on.

HOW TO
SURVIVE THE UNION NATHAN ENGLISH Opinion Editor @nathan_3nglish
The first floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union is the culinary capital of Northwest. Each day, hundreds upon hundreds of Bearcats pile in to get their daily sustenance or, as my friend Kyle says, “grab some grub.” If you are one such Bearcat that has a meal plan or swipes and is going to be eating at the Union a lot, I have a few tips that will enhance your enjoyment of the Union dining experience. Don’t go at noon If I worked in the dining center, I would refer to noon on weekdays as the witching hour. I imagine that all staff dreads this moment as seemingly every person that has ever been a student at Northwest has all decided to go eat at that one time. Lines are impossibly long for such a small college, food is hard to come by (which isn’t ideal in a dining hall), and there are absolutely no open seats. Many people end up eating like the outcast kid in a teen movie, standing or sitting on the far end of an already occupied table. Do yourself a favor
ANDREW WEGLEY | NW MISSOURIAN

and avoid eating at noon; your stomach and stress level will be better for it. Switch up your meals The dining hall can seem like a cornucopia of options at first glance, and it is, for a while. The issue is that if you are staying on campus and eating three meals a day in the Union, then it’s going to get old quick (it’s impossible not to). So, switch up what you are eating rather frequently, especially in the beginning, so you don’t grow tired of your favorite foods early into the semester.
Eat fruits and vegetables I know, I know, I sound like your mom — you should call her more; she misses you — but moms are right a lot of the time. The worst thing you can do to yourself when your sleep schedule is probably screwed up, you have mounting stress, and maybe you partied too much, is to not eat semi-healthy. Without proper nutrition from fruits and vegetables, it’s easy to get sick, and being sick in college, especially in the dorms, is the worst. Listen to moms and you won’t be trying to push through a
week of tests and homework fighting the flu because you had chicken nuggets and fries for eight days in a row and never ate a green thing. Rapid Fire Tip Round Use your meal exchange every week. Sit in the Mongolian section for studying; it’s quieter. Don’t forget about the omelet station; it’s in the Mongolian section. Always get the hash browns; they are delicious. Follow these tips and it’s possible you won’t grow tired of the Union nearly as early as your fellow Bearcats.

Campus police are pretty cool JON WALKER Sports Editor | @ByJonWalker
There are a lot of things that you’re going to encounter during your time at Northwest, some are pretty inevitable. If you’re walking to class, you’ll see an abundance of black squirrels. If you’re at a football or basketball game, you’ll more than likely see a win. If you have a Twitter, you’ll certainly be followed by the University’s police department. Led by University Police Chief Clarence Green, the department is one of the coolest features of the campus.
SAFE RIDE HOME
2004 is the year Safe Ride Home was implemented at Northwest. It is managed by UPD.
If you’re a parent reading this, you’ll be comforted to know that Northwest was named the safest college campus in Missouri, according to a report released by Your Local Security. With that, the same report ranked Northwest
UNIVERISTY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Northwest’s University Police Department traditionally posts a series of pictures recreating bid day to Twitter each fall, which is pretty guaranteed to go viral.
No. 42 out of 385 eligible institutions. But it’s not the fact that the staff practically created a free version of Uber for students called Safe Ride Home. It’s not the fact that they make sure people aren’t being too rowdy in the dorms. Really, it’s because of everything they don’t have to do
that makes them pretty cool. You can always count on Green to work the grill during a cookout at some point in the fall near the Union. You can always count on a smile and a wave from nearly everyone in the department if you see one of them on campus. And, it’s probably one of the only university police de-
partments that are verified on Twitter. “I would say my favorite part about our UPD is how interactive they are with the students,” current student Peggy McAninch said. “They are always talking to students on campus, Twitter, etc. They just have a joyful quality when interacting with us.”

Where to get your fill in the ’Ville Presented by Abbey Hugo
If you’re gonna bother to spend your few, meager college-student dollars on a meal out in the town, it’s best to spend it locally. These community favorites are the closest you can get to a real, home-cooked meal.
Pagliai’s Pizza Pronounced Polly-Eyes, this place is pleasing to the eyes and the taste buds. There’s not better sight than a smörgåsbord of pizza options.
A&G This is a perfect place to go when mom and dad are in town or someone else is paying. While it’s a little on the pricier side, you can’t go wrong with a single thing on their extensive menu. And in the winter months, the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks is the way to go.
Kool Kat’s If you want to start your year off right, this is the place to do it. Grab yourself a snow cone, enjoying it on their porchside seating, and watch as the parade of cars pass by on Main. It’s the perfect way to pass a warm afternoon.
Happy Garden We all need a place to get take-out or deliver Chinese food. This is that place.
Simply Siam Thai The best crab rangoons in town. ’Nough said.
Gray’s This is by far the best restaurant ever attached to a gas station. With a classic diner feel and scrumptious breakfast served all day, there is never a bad time to check out Gray’s.
Señor Burrito Late-night tacos or a quick lunch — whatever you’re into.
Ali’s Bakery Doughnuts made fresh every day, and served up by the friendliest man living in Maryville. You can’t go wrong here, and Ali will probably give you a bunch of free doughnut holes.
El Maguey This go-to Mexican restaurant is a true crowd-pleaser. Enchiladas, tacos and margaritas? Sounds like a good plan to me.
El Nopal This Mexican place made its debut in Maryville not too long ago, quickly creating a divide in the Mexican food fan community. Luckily, you can’t go wrong either way. Both offer taco deals on Tuesday as well, so that’s a win.

Job hunting in the ’Ville KENDRICK CALFEE Community News Editor | @KoalaCalfee
One of the first concerns new students have is how to pay the bills. It’s no secret that college is expensive, so finding ways to make rent and pay other related expenses, while still enjoying your college experience, is a challenge worth taking time to mull over. In other words, take risks and build your network, but don’t just pick the first job you hear about. In a college town like Maryville, there truly is something for everyone. Or at least enough jobs to make that cliché saying hold somewhat true. The easiest way to break down the options is by category, so here is a little preparation of what you’ll frequently see on local job postings: - Help Wanted: *Insert fast-food corporation* - Help Wanted: *Insert one of a surprisingly wide variety of retail stores* - Help Wanted: *Insert as-fancy-as-it-
gets-for-a-small-town-restaurant* - Help Wanted: *Insert local business* - Help Wanted: *Insert random municipal desk-job* Though they may appear bleak listed above, this is what most of the online postings will look like when you happen upon them. The important thing to remember is that even though the search can be overwhelming, there are options that are right for you. There is even opportunity for work based on major areas of study, but networking and talking to people is the best way to find those positions. For instance, someone studying applied health science could benefit from applying for a job at the local community center, where Maryville Parks and Recreation is located. All considered, Maryville’s 15 retail stores, 20 food establishments and 35 and counting local businesses with niche interests, all provide potential for a college student to enjoy the work they do.
Attending college in Maryville, you could be a part-time delivery driver, cook, barista, waiter or waitress, receptionist, housekeeper, babysitter, pet sitter, substitute teacher, farm worker, groundskeeper, second hand to a small business owner, sales associate, store manager, project leader or hold countless other positions that go beyond just making enough money to get buy. Resources that could be helpful for new students searching for jobs include: the Northwest job postings website, accessible at https://agency.governmentjobs.com//nwmissouri/default.cfm and The Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce website for local business information. And if an off campus job isn’t what you are looking for, Northwest has plenty of on campus options. Ultimately, you’re one application away from securing employment at the best place to work in Maryville, which will look different for everyone.

Transitioning from urban to small-town CORBIN SMITH Sports Reporter @curly_corbs
So, you decided to come to Maryville. Small town life wildly contrasts living in a big city, and the change of scenery takes a little getting used to. Get ready for 15-minute drives right out of the city and taking no time to learn how to get around. Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, small towns were always a phenomenon I couldn’t wrap my head around. At home, a 15-minute drive would only take me to downtown and I’d be surrounded by things to do. Just to get to school, I had to get on three dif-
ferent highways. In Maryville, you only need Highway 71 if you’re leaving. That’s all irrelevant, because you’ll find things to do. I mean it’s college, so if you don’t find something to do, you’re not trying hard enough. In Kansas City, there were interesting places to visit like The Plaza, Westport, Downtown, etc. Maryville may not have the attractions KC has, but my friends and I always found some way to enjoy ourselves. One Sunday afternoon, my friends and I drove up to Mozingo Lake before the weather warmed up and discovered a large body of ice. Like the bored college kids we are, we trekked nearly halfway across Mozingo. Thankfully,
we didn’t fall in and it made for some memorable pictures. It’s also strange to leave the most diverse high school in Missouri and come to a small town where I see similar types of people. I miss having the opportunity to learn where somebody is from and what kind of culture they represent. To make unorthodox matters even stranger, there’s barely a fraction of the businesses Kansas City has. I appreciate online shopping, but it’s different when it’s your only perusing option. If you shop like me (only when necessary), you’ll manage. However, God forbid you’re a Target shopper. I never realized the impact stores have on people until I moved to a town
with no Target. People get Black Friday levels of aggressive when I say “Walmart over Target.” One change that I find nice about moving from Kansas City to Maryville is the increase in visible stars in the night sky. There’s something about going out after a long day of running and schoolwork to sit by Colden Pond and hang out underneath the big dipper. Of course I miss climbing a hill to admire Downtown’s big, beautifully lit buildings at night, but it serves as a great motivator to come home during breaks. It’s tough not having big city luxuries, but I’ve learned how to survive, and you will too.

Why you should befriend a townie KENDRICK CALFEE Comm. News Editor @KoalaCalfee
We chose to stay here for a reason. Some of us find that reason out sooner than others, but there is something about Maryville, or Northwest at least, that kept us tucked in this small corner of Missouri for our college experience. It could have been the memories of simpler times, before we were forced to look ahead to our individual futures and figure out how we were going to make a living, when what we cared about most was a late
night drive for a milkshake after the Friday night lights and watching the magic that happened underneath them. Go Spoofhounds. It could have been the comfort of knowing familiar faces, being connected and invested in a community that we grew up in, learned from, and didn’t want to leave so soon. It could have been the mom and pop shops, the backbone of a small town, where you’re never greeted with anything less than a big smile and “howdy do.” It could have been knowing, like all townies do, the impact Northwest has on the town and region, where being a Bearcat
means more than getting a degree, but that wherever you are from, you’re accepted into another family. It could have been all of these reasons and more, our sentimental sides taking over and motivating us to act on more than just practicality. Here, we feel at home, and you could too. See, us townies know all of the best local hangouts, small business specialties and know enough people to help even the most unacclimated person network their way to the infamous could-almost-be-considered-atownie status. And if we are being honest, the criticism that townies take
from students who are outsiders to the community isn’t completely fair. Yes, we chose to stay where we have been for most of our lives mostly based on convenience and the fear of change, but that doesn’t mean we don’t take risks or lack vision. We just feel supported where we are, and by making one of us your fellow comrade, you could experience that too. Maryville is a special place, even in the midst of its unique pros and cons that every other community has of their own. Moving to a new place is overwhelming, but if you give it a chance, this town will give back abundantly.
Come on in. We’ll make it yours.

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW JON WALKER Sports Editor | @ByJonWalker
Football
Soccer
In his second year as coach, Marc Gordon led the program to its first MIAA Tournament appearance since 2012. With a strong foundation of returning players, along with the pretty nifty addition of a brand new Astroturf field at Bearcat Pitch, expect the women to be a sleeper team in the conference.
Coach Rich Wright has taken a step further into the playoffs in each of his three years at the helm of the program. Behind a traditionally stout defense and new offensive guidance with an experienced Todd Sturdy as the play-caller, Simply put, expect big things this school year don’t be surprised if the ‘Cats find themselves from this group. The women got one meet into playing on national television in December. their spring semester before COVID-19 canceled everything. The team returns everybody except for Bekah Donner due to graduation. Things clicked at some points last year — expect them to pretty frequently this time around.
Golf
Cross Country
Since Brandon Masters and Nick Gibson took over the program two years ago, it’s become a national powerhouse. The men are returning nearly everyone, with former All-American Karim Achengli as the lone departure for the men. On the other hand, the women are looking to lean on foundational pieces that have been building for the last couple of years. Nonetheless, expect both teams to be on the podium at the MIAA Championships — especially the men.
Volleyball There was a lot of uncertainty around replacing a cornerstone player in the program last year. Amy Woerth and company answered that with one of the best seasons in program history. This time around, Hallie Sidney’s and Maddy Ahrens’ departures leave holes to fill, but it’s no task that Woerth hasn’t managed before.

PLAYING FAVORITES

Northwest football coach Rich Wright coaches in a game in his first season as head coach in 2017 wearing his trademark red hat.
Northwest football coach Rich Wright’s favorite things that have almost nothing to do with football ANDREW WEGLEY Managing Editor | @andrewwegley
At the tail-end of almost every press conference for 14 weeks, we would run out of serious questions for Northwest football coach Rich Wright. The reporters, facing Wright, would glance at each other, as if to give the “all-clear” without ever saying so. And I would ask something dumb, something offbeat, something that never made it into an issue of The Missourian. And in doing so, here’s what we learned about Richard Wright. Q: What’s your favorite food? A: “Chicken wings. … Fried is great. I like ’em grilled,
fried — any way you want to slice ’em. But they have to be traditional; I don’t do the tender things.” Q: What’s your favorite movie? A: “Oh. That’s a tough one. I like ‘Bull Durham’ a lot. I’ve always liked that. I love the ‘Godfather’ movies. I don’t know. I’ll stick there.” Q: You got a favorite TV show? A: “Oof. I don’t watch much TV. … Historically, if I’m gonna go back, because I’d probably have to, I can date you back to the last time I watched TV. I liked ‘Cheers.’ I liked ‘M.A.S.H.’ I liked ‘All In The Family.’ So, it — no. I
literally don’t watch TV unless it’s college football. Q: Coach, if you were stranded on an island and you could have three things with you, what would they be? And they can’t be a boat, obviously. A: “A good pair of sunglasses, a real comfortable bathing suit, (and) I’d say a good bottle of something, but I don’t know — it wouldn’t last, so I’m trying to think of something I’d have. Probably a good pocket knife. I’d probably need it.” Q: Do you have a favorite book? A: “Uhm. I really enjoyed ‘Extreme Ownership.’ It’s a
book about the Navy SEALs that I read not too long ago. I really enjoy — I guess I’ll go with ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ I always liked that book. That or ‘Treasure Island.’” Q: What’s your favorite soda? A: “Coke Zero.” Q: “Coke Zero? Why is it zero?” A: “I just prefer it. I don’t like Diet Coke; I don’t think it tastes like Coke. It’s got a heavy diet taste to it.” Q: You got a favorite bar drink? A: “Probably bourbon.” Q: Coach, you got a favorite color? A: “Yeah. Blue and green.”

ship because you hurt yourself doing something you weren’t supposed to. Nobody wants to struggle in practice or underperform in competition. 2. Do NOT compare yourself to your teammates. I understand you’re an athlete and you like to compete, but competing isn’t the same as measuring your progress against your teammates.

1. You’re a student before you’re an athlete. Get used to hearing that on repeat once your season starts. I advise finishing school work before practice or planning other activities. Don’t think about competing if your grades aren’t in shape. Staying focused outside of practice is just as important. Don’t risk your scholar-

Collegiate student-athletes juggle mental and physical barriers on a day-to-day basis. Fail to learn how to manage your thoughts and your mind will betray you. If you don’t understand your
body, you can’t perform at your best. I’ve learned a lot about myself in my first year. I thoroughly enjoy running track for Northwest, and after some horrific practices, I managed to survive and reflect on how I do so. Here are some tips that helped me transition from a high school athlete to a collegiate athlete.

3. Everybody was the best on their high school team; that’s why you’re here. I love reflecting on my high school races, especially because my senior year is the only reason I’m here. However, that was high school, and now I’m back at square one, a gear in a well-oiled machine. Collegiate competition is a whole different level. Training, mentality, effort — it will take some growing before you can keep up. 4. Take care of your body or lose it. Going to the trainers might be scary the first few visits, but the staff is really helpful. Refusing to see them causes injuries to become your own fault and your coach will not be
pleased, to say the least. You’re an athlete, not invincible. Eating and sleeping right is crucial in keeping your body competition ready. Check out Nathan English’s take on eating healthy at the Union. Also, don’t stay up late when you know you have weights in the morning; it’s already hard enough to wake up. 5. Enjoy yourself. You’ve earned it. Being a collegiate athlete comes with some pressure, sometimes the not-so-fun kind. Take moments to remind yourself why you chose this sport. Remembering why you play sports makes practices more enjoyable; you’ll be excited to get in uniform and good performances will come. I learned all this in my first year of college and I’m more excited for round two. Good luck, and I’ll probably see you around.

PROUD SUPPORTER OF THE BEARCATS

Northwest men’s basketball won the last game of its 20192020 season, though it didn’t result in the championship celebration the Bearcats had in mind for the end of their season, one they entered hoping to defend their 2019 NCAA Division II National Championship. Instead, the Bearcats season ended unknowingly March 8 at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri, where Northwest beat Missouri Southern 78-76 for the team’s fifth consecutive MIAA Tournament Championship and 31st win of the season. Four days later, as the Bearcats prepped for the Division II Central Region Tournament, the NCAA canceled all winter championship tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ending Northwest’s season before its national title defense
ever really started and ending the collegiate basketball careers of three seniors. “I’m happy for those guys,” then-sophomore guard Trevor Hudgins said of the team’s seniors. “I just wish we could give them a little better ending to this fairytale.” Now, months after their season was ripped away from them, the Bearcats are reloaded and refocused, preparing to embark on the title defense they intended on completing a season ago. With last season’s tournament erased by the coronavirus, they are still Division II’s reigning national champions, and they hope to remain that this time next year. Despite losing three seniors, Northwest still touts a lineup with the reigning MIAA Player of the Year in Hudgins and the two-time MIAA Defensive Player of the Year in senior Ryan Hawkins.

GABI BROOKS | NW MISSOURIAN
The stands sit half-empty at Bearcat Stadium on Family Weekend Sept. 28 when Northwest beat Central Oklahoma after a weather delay.
It would be cool if you cheered NATHAN ENGLISH Columnist @_nathan_english
I have heard stories of Bearcat Stadium and Bearcat Arena being filled with the raucous cheers of Northwest students. This all must have happened prior to my arrival at Northwest, because ever since I have been here, the crowds, mostly students, have been lacking in the engagement aspect. There are a few reasons people will abstain from being involved in the game as a spectator. Some people aren’t that into sports, which is fine, but then again, why are they at a game? The mob mentality is also a strong factor; if only a few people are cheering then it feels awkward or even embarrassing to cheer. Being too cool to cheer — I thought that was an issue people got over in high school — is perhaps the most likely reason people decide to

sit and quietly watch or look at their phones instead of cheer. Being a part of an energetic crowd is possibly the most fun any sports fan can have. High fiving strangers, screaming as loud as possible and yelling at
terrible refs can turn a normal football, basketball or volleyball game into an experience that those in attendance will remember for a long time. Admittedly, it’s much easier to cheer for a good team than a bad one — see the difference
between Kansas basketball games and Kansas football games — luckily at Northwest, we have those. The football team is a perennial power that makes the playoffs nearly every year and routinely dominates the MIAA. The men’s basketball program is the best in Division II, having lost one game in the past two seasons. Coach Ben McCollum has guided the men’s team to the best stretch run in MIAA history. Northwest volleyball is coming off back-to-back 20win seasons for the first time since 1999. The team also ended the season ranked in the top 25 of Division II. It’s often repeated that Northwest has “the best fans in the MIAA (or DII),” but with the current state of the student section, there is little evidence to support that claim. Bearcat Athletics are part of the lifeblood of Northwest and it’s time students cheered like it.
