Nic’s Last Football Game
Nic Burrell in MWSC vs. NWMSU
Northwest Missouri State spotted Missouri Western a 16-0 lead but battled back to win Saturday’s NCAA Division II playoff tilt in St. Joseph. The Bearcats outscored the Griffons, 27-7, in the second half to advance to the region semifinals against #2 Midwestern State, out of the Lone Star Conference.
Gallatin grad Nic Burrell played every snap on defense for the Griffons and registered eight tackles, including one for loss. The MWSU senior linebacker also spent a busy afternoon dropping into pass coverage against the Bearcats’ best receiver, #4 Tyler Shaw.
For every tackle #36 had this year you could hear some where in the audience, “YEAH NIC!!!”, from his very proud momma.
We were blessed this year to get to go to every game, away and home.
Here are a few pictures of some of his fans.
His girlfriend, Megan.
His sister, Kayli. That’s Big Ran in the back ground.
His nephew, Hudson.
His Grandma and Grandpa Burrell
His sister, Kamille and Megan
The Griffon and his sister, Madison

There were many other fans there, too. Tom, Alan, Brice, Bill, Steve, Bobby, Bob, Jimmy, Mitch, Bradley, Stephanie, Aaron, Justin, Gracyn, Dianna, Mike, Kelly, Michael, Tony, Nana, Bailey, Marty, and Marcus just to name a few.
I’m pretty sure Coach Partridge is telling Nic what a great job he just did!!!
It was a great ride!!

Salute to Veterans
It’s Veterans Day!
This is a picture of my Dad in his navy gear.
My husband is in the U. S. Army Reserve. He has been enlisted
for 30 years. I am very proud of him!
This is a picture of my husband with the
Commanding General of the U. S. Army Reserve. My husband is on the right. From
November 2007 to November 2008, he was stationed in Iraq, needless to say it was
a very, very long year for both of us.
My Dad was also a Veteran. He was in
the U. S. Navy. He served in Cuba.
There are so many things I could write
about him, but for now I will just say he was an AMAZING AND LOVING MAN.
Thank you to all Veterans!!!

My Son – The Football Player
My son, Nic called from college last Friday and said, “You might want to get a St Joe Newspress a reporter interviewed me after practice last night and I could be in there!”
So, of course, I ran out and got a paper.
Here it is.
Coach Partridge said seniors Nic Burrell, Cody Kremer and Jake Buckwalter form the program-seasoned portion of the next tier of linebackers hoping to step in. Tom Madget is the corps’ only returning starter.
Burrell (16 tackles last season) noticed a team-morale and chemistry jolt this offseason due to the first playoff berth in four seasons and more organized skill workouts the GISC made possible.
“The whole morale’s different on the team,” Burrell said. “We’re in the facility practicing hard. Even before the coaches were there and it (wasn’t) mandatory. We were working hard together as a team. Everybody has a desire to win.”
