North Central Missouri College Athletics hosted an exciting "Meet the Pirates" night on October 7th, bringing together fans, families, and community members to celebrate the 2025-26 student-athletes.

The atmosphere inside the gym was electric as the crowd got its first look at the upcoming men's and women's basketball teams. Both squads impressed during their short scrimmages, giving fans a thrilling preview of what's ahead for NCMC basketball this season.

In addition to basketball, fans were introduced to athletes from baseball, softball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's track/cross country and women's flag football, showcasing the depth of Pirate Athletics. The evening also featured the debut performance of the NCMC Dance Wave under the direction of Stephanie Hickman, earning loud cheers from the crowd.

Interactive games and contests kept the energy high, and young fans especially enjoyed connecting with NCMC players and coaches throughout the night.
