Register for Basketball Camp NOW!!


Depending on where you are in the country, it may be difficult to think about summer camp. Here at Northland, we have enjoyed some of the warmest March days in years, with temps today hitting 65!

I wanted to take the opportunity to remind all of you about our Girls' Basketball Camp here at Northland. This year's camp is July 26-31, and promises to be a great time of physical and spiritual challenge. In addition to on the court instruction about basketball, the coaches and I enjoy presenting a Biblical philosophy of athletics that we desire to see them take with them back to their schools and teams. We also have quite a bit of fun!

Tiffany Named All-American

I was thrilled to hear that one of our captains, Tiffany Chatfield, was selected as a 2nd team All-American by the NCCAA. Tiff had an outstanding season for us offensively, and filled the roles of student-athlete, team captain. and a first-year wife very well!

T averaged 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game. She finished 1st in the region and 5th nationally in scoring, 6th in the region in 3-pt fg percentage (33%), and 5th in free throw percentage (73%).

Although a junior, this was T's 4th year of eligibility in basketball. This was also only her 2nd complete season as she spent a semester traveling on a ministry team for Northland, and 2nd semester last year with Nate while he student taught. I'm confident T could have challenged some Northland basketball records had she played 4 full seasons, but I'm thrilled God allowed her to be a part of this team for as long as He did.

I also know T would want to thank her teammates for their support and play, making an individual honor like this a possibility. This marks the 3rd straight season that a Lady Pioneer has been selected to the All-American team.

Congrats T!
