SPECTATOR LIMITS: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Many schools have decided to limit spectators in their gymnasiums. In an effort to not limit spectators at our athletic events, we are now requiring all NAC fans to sit in the bleachers on the side of the gym directly across from (or on the same side as) the NAC athletes bench. With the current rise in COVID cases we are hoping to mitigate this as best we can without limiting spectators. Thanks for your cooperation with this matter. Let's use this opportunity to show our Bobcat pride and support our teams by participating with the call and response from our cheerleading squad! Nothing picks up the spirit of the teams playing like some Positive fan participation and cheering.

We can accomplish so many good things by working together!
