My grandpa was so passionate about his days at Ohio State and how much of an impact Woody left on him. His love for the buckeyes rubbed off on all of us. Today he reunited with his former coach and mentor. He will be missed. Thank you for all the countless lessons and memories.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Zechariah Owens accounted for six touchdowns in Northwest’s 49-32 win at Central Missouri.

Owens rushed for four touchdowns and threw for two more. The six total touchdowns tied for the second-most touchdowns by a Northwest player in a single game in program history.

Northwest Most TDs Game
7, Kyle Zimmerman vs. PSU (11/29/16)
6, Trevor Adams vs. ESU (11/9/13)
6, Kyle Zimmerman vs. NSU (10/15/16)
6, Zach Martin vs. MSSU (9/23/17)
6, Mike Hohensee vs. UCM (9/18/21)
6, Zechariah Owens vs. UCM (10/11/25)

Owens is one of two NCAA Div. II quarterbacks this season to have rushed for four touchdowns in a game - joining Minnesota-Duluth’s Kyle Walljasper (Sept. 20, 2025 vs. Sioux Falls).

Owens is one of two MIAA players overall to have rushed for four scores this season - joining Nebraska-Kearney’s Isaiah Harris (Sept. 20, 2025 vs. Emporia State).

Got my first opportunity as a head coach tonight. Crazy thing it was against one of my first buddies I met here in Arizona in 2014. We coached together for 4 years. He took a job that lost over 50 games in a row and has completely changed the program. Proud of his accomplishments

[CMags56 @jmags56]

These guys are the reason! Every
Moment is the most important! Proud of these guys! It’s amazing to coach such awesome young men!

[Coach Niko Bruney @bruney_niko]

AIA hardly interacts with the coaches themselves because they don’t want to. They’re former admin so they only talk to other admin. Coaches really have no say. Those at the top don’t wanna hear from those they look down on.

[Lee Patterson @radioguyaz99]

In my 25 years in Arizona, I have seen all of the AIA complaints, many of them the same each year. My biggest issue is that it seems that things are decided based on convenience for the AIA and their staff first, then everyone else. That shouldn't be the case IMO.

[Coach Niko Bruney @bruney_niko]

Time for THEE GAME. Beat that team up north!

[Coach Niko Bruney @bruney_niko]

Being a buckeye is in our blood. One of Fred Bruney’s 3 INTs against that team up north. Both him and my Grandfathers (Robert Owen Bruney) played under the legendary Woody Hayes. #GoBuckeyes!
