Hall of Fame
Many football legends have passed through Northwest over the years and Bryan Sparacino certainly ranks high on that list.
During his two seasons in Senatobia, Sparacino was part of two Ranger teams that finished as MACCC North Division runner-ups while earning back-to-back playoff appearances. Northwest finished with a combined 14-6 record during the 1994-95 seasons and 9-3 in division competition.
Sparacino's name remains scattered across the passing record books, with his most notable achievement being a 95-yard touchdown pass to Andre Rone in a 37-14 victory against Copiah-Lincoln on September 29, 1994. The play remains tied for the longest pass and completion in program history.
Sparacino also ranks fourth in career passing yards with 4,911 and third all-time in career pass completions (315). His 583 pass attempts and 43 career passing touchdowns also rank third in both categories.
A two-time All-MACCC and NJCAA All-Region 23 selection, Sparacino earned additional honors as Offensive Back MVP for the conference and a nod as All-American Honorable Mention by J.C. Gridwire.
Following his Northwest career, the Denham Springs, La. native returned to his home state after signing with LSU. Sparacino played with the Tigers from 1996-97 under coach Gerry DiNardo and passed for 495 yards on 31 completions. In those two seasons, LSU compiled a 19-5 overall record and were recognized as co-SEC West Division champions. The Tigers also celebrated victories against Clemson in the 1996 Peach Bowl and Notre Dame in the 1997 Independence Bowl.
Today, Sparacino and his family reside in Denham Springs, where he now works as a loan officer for GMFS Mortgage.
