Northern's Personal Protector
When it comes to what a good offensive linemen needs, senior Trenton Woodward checks all the boxes George Ferguson
Havre Daily News sports editor gferguson@havredailynews.com
Dedication, leadership, work ethic. Those are all things an offensive linemen needs to have to be successful at the collegiate level. Those things, are every bit as important to an offensive lineman as size, strength, and intelligence. Montana State UniversityNorthern senior Trenton Woodward checks all those boxes, and then some. After all, through a tumultuous time in Northern’s football history, Woodward has remained a pillar of the program, and that’s because he has one more characteristic that sets him apart - loyalty.
“I’m a big loyalty guy,” Woodward, who is Northern’s starting left tackle in his senior season said. I was part of (Andrew) Christensen’s first-ever recruiting class here. And Jett (Robertson) and I are the only two guys left from that recruiting class. And a big reason why is loyalty. Northern was the first team to offer me a scholarship, and this program, and this school has shown me nothing but love in my time here.” Like so many that did, there would be times when it could have been easy to walk away from the MSU-N program. The struggles have been many, and they’ve been well chronicled. But, Woodward isn’t just loyal to the name on the front of his jersey, he’s loyal to men who stand beside him, behind him and in front of him. In other words, like every offensive linemen should, Woodward, an imposing figure at 6-5 and 275 pounds, has his teammate’s backs, and he always has. “I’ve never been part of a team that’s won more than one game in a season,” Woodward said. “That’s been hard. Everybody has seen what we’ve gone through. There

Homecoming week, and the Montana State University-Northern football team’s homecoming game is always special. It’s a prideful time each and every year on MSU-N’s campus. This Saturday’s homecoming game against Montana Tech will be no different. It will be special. But, the excitement surrounding Northern’s homecoming battle with the Orediggers got an extra boost of juice late last week. On Friday, Northern issued a press release announcing fund raising efforts for the on-campus stadium that has long been a dream. But, on Saturday, Northern, led by Chancellor Greg Kegel, will announce to its fans, the community and anyone else paying attention that, the dream has become a reality. Friday’s press release highlighted the Tilleman family and Independence Bank as two donors who have stepped up to the plate in a big way to help get the stadium project moving forward. So with that generosity, Kegel will officially announced the plans for the new stadium as part of this week’s homecoming celebration, which is a fitting time to do it.

“These donors have grasped the important role this project plays in moving Northern forward,” Northern Chancellor Greg Kegel said in the release. “They understand that by investing in our athletic programs and strengthening student life, they are contributing to overall student success and the long-term health of our campus.” “We’re excited to build on that community wide pride by investing in our athletic programs to ensure our student-athletes and our fans have high-quality facilities and a
Saturday’s homecoming game won’t just be special for the Lights either. A pair of Orediggers will also have strong feelings when Tech takes the field against the Lights, most of all, Tech offensive coordinator Kyle Samson. Samson was a star quarterback for the Lights, who still holds all kinds of school records, and is the only quarterback Northern has ever had who has gotten a team to the NAIA playoffs, as well as earn NAIA All-American honors. After graduating from Northern, Samson was an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the Lights under his father, former MSU-N head coach Mark Samson. So, Kyle’s impact on the program, and his roots in it, run really deep, and to this day, are still felt. Samson hasn’t been back in Blue Pony Stadium since he last coached for the Lights. He went on to become a highly-successful head coach at Flathead High in Kalispell, before accepting the OC job on Chuck Morrell’s staff last spring. Kyle’s wife Brooke is also from Havre, so Saturday, will truly be a special day.
It was also be special for Tech starting safety Justin May, who grew up right down Highway 2 at ChesterJoplin-Inverness. May is in his third year of starting for the Orediggers and has been among the team leaders in tackles in each of the last two seasons. Streaking There’s been some pretty impressive runs by teams since Frontier play started. College of Idaho hasn’t lost yet, and puts its three-game winning streak on the line at Rocky Mountain College. Montana Western is also undefeated and will look to keep it going Saturday at home against Eastern

MSU-Northern Rewind
Local donors pave the way for new stadium Tim Leeds tleeds@havredailynews.com Montana State UniversityNorthern announced in a press release Thursday that local donations are moving the university closer to its goal of building its own football stadium, with two major donations providing siginificant help. Havre’s Tilleman family and Independence Bank alone have put $550,000 toward the project, with Independence Bank also offering to help more with the fundraising. The Tilleman family, owners and operators of local businesses including Tilleman Motor Company GM, Chrysler and C h a l l e n ge r d e a l e rs h i p s, donated $450,000, while Independence Bank chipped in $100,000 and has offered to finance other pledges. Before the Homecoming
football game on Sept. 28, MSU-Northern plans to publicly announce plans for the university’s new football stadium. Both gifts will support that project. “Havre has been so good to us,” Mike Tilleman, a long-time Northern supporter and former National Football League player, said in the press release. “We are committed to giving back and helping it grow. We’re excited for what this stadium will do for the university and student life in the years ahead.” Independence Bank, in addition to making its donation, has agreed to finance all campaign pledges for the full value of the pledge at zero percent interest, which will allow Northern to begin construction immediately after reaching the campaign goal, and donors can make their pledge installments over a number of years.
Northern’s plan in the first phase is to construct a p l ay i n g f i e l d t o h o u s e Northern games, eventually expanding the facility in to a major sports and classroom center. “ T h e s e d o n o r s h ave grasped the important role this project plays in moving Northern forward,” Northern Chancellor Greg Kegel said in the release. “They understand that by investing in our athletic programs and strengthening student life, they are contributing to overall student success and the long-term health of our campus.” “We’re excited to build on that community wide pride by investing in our athletic programs to ensure our student-athletes and our fans have high-quality facilities and a high-quality experience,” Kegel added. “These gifts are a big push toward achieving that goal.”

Woodward: Dedication and loyalty have carried Trenton Woodward through tough times ■ From Page 6
Havre Daily News/Colin Thompson Montana State University-Northern's Trenton Woodward blocks during a Frontier Conference game against Montana Western earlier this month in Havre. Woodward is helping to build a strong offensive line at MSU-N, and in turn, a potent offense. have been a lot of tough times, and tough games. But, when I first got here, I had a lot of great teammates who helped me grow, who stuck with us, who were great leaders, and being a good teammate, being there for the guy standing next to you, that’s always been important to me.” Playing college football has always been important to Woodward too. He said, not many players from Three Forks, a traditionally basketball-rich Class B school, have gone
on to play college football, but, from an early point in his high school career, he made that a goal, and it’s one he achieved at Northern. “Another big reason why I have kept going, kept working, kept on playing, is because of that hometown pride I have,” Woodward said. “I was the first guy from Three Forks to play college football in five or six years, at least. So it’s something I’m really proud of. I’m proud to represent Three Forks at Northern. And I still get so much support from home. It’s a pretty cool feeling.” Support is also something Woodward got when he arrived in Havre, even if it was a case of tough love. “My expectation when I got here was, I wanted to start as a freshman,” Woodward said. “But, going against guys like Tyler Craig and Pat Barnett, and dudes like that every day, they showed me that I had a long way to go. They taught me a lot. I realized, playing with those guys, that I had to put in the work, all year, not just during the season, I had to get better.” And that’s what Woodward did. He got better. He starting seeing the field more and more during the 2017 campaign, but still waited his turn for a full-time starting gig. That opportunity came last fall, when Woodward started every game for the Lights, including helping pave the way for their thrilling opening-day win over Mayville State. From that point on, Woodward not only was a rock for the Northern offense, he, along with now-senior Darius Alexander-Jones, were the building-blocks of an offensive line that has been an impressive in so far this fall. “This line is so much different,” Woodward said,. “Last year, we were just so young, but now, with Darius and I, and the guys we have, they all have a lot of talent, we really feel like we’re a really good unit. We feel like we’ve gelled together really well since last spring. So we have high expectations for ourselves. “The offensive line has to be one unit,” he continued. “It has to be a team within a team really. You have to trust the guy next to you and he has to trust you. You all have to work together as one, and I think we really have that this year. We still have room to grow and get better, but it’s really nice being part of

an o-line like the one we have.” Not only is Northern’s offensive line thriving this season, that line has been charged with an important task - protecting and helping a freshman quarterback, against some of the best defenses in the NAIA. And yet, while it’s true, QB Brenden Medina is young, as he’s made just three college starts heading into Saturday’s home tilt against Montana Tech, Woodward notes that, Medina doesn’t play like a rookie QB. “He’s got a hell of a lot of potential,” Woodward said of Medina. “He’s young, but he’s doing things some fifth year senior quarterbacks can’t do right now. So while he is a kid still, we don’t focus on that, or look at it as, we have to do more because he’s young. We look at as, he’s our guy, he’s our quarterback, he leads our offense. So we have to do our jobs because when we do, he can do his thing, and that’s going to help us win football games.” That kind of respect Woodward has for his quarterback is a prime example of why he’s succeeded at Northern, and why he is the leader he is. In short, Woodward is not just the consummate offensive linemen, physically or mentally, but he’s the consummate teammate. And if the Lights are going to break through, after a pretty dark period in their football history, it’s linemen like Woodward, leaders like Woodward, who are going to be the reason why. “In my time here, I’ll say, we’ve had seasons where, you’re filled with hope at the beginning, but by the end, it felt like everybody just couldn’t wait for it to be over. But things are totally different now, and it’s awesome to see it changing. Since Coach Rolin got here, the tide has been turning. “And I think we’ve already come so far,” he continued. “I already feel like we're a team that’s gone from a winless team that gets no respect, to a team that is on the verge of being very good, a team we’re all proud to be a part of. I really believe we’re right there. You can feel it, you can see it in how we practice and how we play. You can see the support from the community really coming back now. It’s cool to see it all changing, and to know you’re a part of it.” A big part of it actually.
Havre Daily News/Colin Thompson Montana State University-Northern senior Trenton Woodward has seen the ups and downs of college football first hand 9in his career. And he admits, he's seen more downs than ups. Yet, because of who Trenton Woodward is as a person, and as a football player, his dedication to the Lights has never wavered, and now, that dedication is starting to show on the field, and off of it. The Lights host Montana Tech Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium.
Big is what Trenton Woodward is. An offensive lineman kind of has to be. But, it’s what’s inside of Woodward that has really counted. His loyalty, his dedication, his leadership, those things are why he works his butt off to protect his quarterback, to block for his running backs and to lead his team on the field.

MSU-Northern Rewind
Local donors pave the way for new stadium Tim Leeds tleeds@havredailynews.com Montana State UniversityNorthern announced in a press release Thursday that local donations are moving the university closer to its goal of building its own football stadium, with two major donations providing siginificant help. Havre’s Tilleman family and Independence Bank alone have put $550,000 toward the project, with Independence Bank also offering to help more with the fundraising. The Tilleman family, owners and operators of local businesses including Tilleman Motor Company GM, Chrysler and C h a l l e n ge r d e a l e rs h i p s, donated $450,000, while Independence Bank chipped in $100,000 and has offered to finance other pledges. Before the Homecoming
football game on Sept. 28, MSU-Northern plans to publicly announce plans for the university’s new football stadium. Both gifts will support that project. “Havre has been so good to us,” Mike Tilleman, a long-time Northern supporter and former National Football League player, said in the press release. “We are committed to giving back and helping it grow. We’re excited for what this stadium will do for the university and student life in the years ahead.” Independence Bank, in addition to making its donation, has agreed to finance all campaign pledges for the full value of the pledge at zero percent interest, which will allow Northern to begin construction immediately after reaching the campaign goal, and donors can make their pledge installments over a number of years.
Northern’s plan in the first phase is to construct a p l ay i n g f i e l d t o h o u s e Northern games, eventually expanding the facility in to a major sports and classroom center. “ T h e s e d o n o r s h ave grasped the important role this project plays in moving Northern forward,” Northern Chancellor Greg Kegel said in the release. “They understand that by investing in our athletic programs and strengthening student life, they are contributing to overall student success and the long-term health of our campus.” “We’re excited to build on that community wide pride by investing in our athletic programs to ensure our student-athletes and our fans have high-quality facilities and a high-quality experience,” Kegel added. “These gifts are a big push toward achieving that goal.”

Northern's Personal Protector
When it comes to what a good offensive linemen needs, senior Trenton Woodward checks all the boxes George Ferguson
Havre Daily News sports editor gferguson@havredailynews.com
Dedication, leadership, work ethic. Those are all things an offensive linemen needs to have to be successful at the collegiate level. Those things, are every bit as important to an offensive lineman as size, strength, and intelligence. Montana State UniversityNorthern senior Trenton Woodward checks all those boxes, and then some. After all, through a tumultuous time in Northern’s football history, Woodward has remained a pillar of the program, and that’s because he has one more characteristic that sets him apart - loyalty.
“I’m a big loyalty guy,” Woodward, who is Northern’s starting left tackle in his senior season said. I was part of (Andrew) Christensen’s first-ever recruiting class here. And Jett (Robertson) and I are the only two guys left from that recruiting class. And a big reason why is loyalty. Northern was the first team to offer me a scholarship, and this program, and this school has shown me nothing but love in my time here.” Like so many that did, there would be times when it could have been easy to walk away from the MSU-N program. The struggles have been many, and they’ve been well chronicled. But, Woodward isn’t just loyal to the name on the front of his jersey, he’s loyal to men who stand beside him, behind him and in front of him. In other words, like every offensive linemen should, Woodward, an imposing figure at 6-5 and 275 pounds, has his teammate’s backs, and he always has. “I’ve never been part of a team that’s won more than one game in a season,” Woodward said. “That’s been hard. Everybody has seen what we’ve gone through. There

Montana State University-Northern
Saturday, September 28 Blue Pony Stadium 1:00 p.m.

Homecoming week, and the Montana State University-Northern football team’s homecoming game is always special. It’s a prideful time each and every year on MSU-N’s campus. This Saturday’s homecoming game against Montana Tech will be no different. It will be special. But, the excitement surrounding Northern’s homecoming battle with the Orediggers got an extra boost of juice late last week. On Friday, Northern issued a press release announcing fund raising efforts for the on-campus stadium that has long been a dream. But, on Saturday, Northern, led by Chancellor Greg Kegel, will announce to its fans, the community and anyone else paying attention that, the dream has become a reality. Friday’s press release highlighted the Tilleman family and Independence Bank as two donors who have stepped up to the plate in a big way to help get the stadium project moving forward. So with that generosity, Kegel will officially announced the plans for the new stadium as part of this week’s homecoming celebration, which is a fitting time to do it.
Also coming home
“These donors have grasped the important role this project plays in moving Northern forward,” Northern Chancellor Greg Kegel said in the release. “They understand that by investing in our athletic programs and strengthening student life, they are contributing to overall student success and the long-term health of our campus.” “We’re excited to build on that community wide pride by investing in our athletic programs to ensure our student-athletes and our fans have high-quality facilities and a
Saturday’s homecoming game won’t just be special for the Lights either. A pair of Orediggers will also have strong feelings when Tech takes the field against the Lights, most of all, Tech offensive coordinator Kyle Samson. Samson was a star quarterback for the Lights, who still holds all kinds of school records, and is the only quarterback Northern has ever had who has gotten a team to the NAIA playoffs, as well as earn NAIA All-American honors. After graduating from Northern, Samson was an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for the Lights under his father, former MSU-N head coach Mark Samson. So, Kyle’s impact on the program, and his roots in it, run really deep, and to this day, are still felt. Samson hasn’t been back in Blue Pony Stadium since he last coached for the Lights. He went on to become a highly-successful head coach at Flathead High in Kalispell, before accepting the OC job on Chuck Morrell’s staff last spring. Kyle’s wife Brooke is also from Havre, so Saturday, will truly be a special day.
It was also be special for Tech starting safety Justin May, who grew up right down Highway 2 at ChesterJoplin-Inverness. May is in his third year of starting for the Orediggers and has been among the team leaders in tackles in each of the last two seasons. Streaking There’s been some pretty impressive runs by teams since Frontier play started. College of Idaho hasn’t lost yet, and puts its three-game winning streak on the line at Rocky Mountain College. Montana Western is also undefeated and will look to keep it going Saturday at home against Eastern

Oregon, while Carroll College takes a two-game winning streak to Southern Oregon, a squad which is currently riding a shocking four-game losing streak. Montana Tech also brings a two-game winning streak to Havre on Saturday. After losing at C of I in its season-opener, the Diggers have beaten Eastern Oregon and SOU at home.
