2012 Jets Season

Posted by Dave Rea at Feb 27, 2013 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
The Jets Varisty posted their 2nd Varsity Championship in 3 years in 2012. It was their 8th playoff appearance and 4th in a row. They went 7-1 on the season with their only loss being the opener to the Brunswick Jets who were their opponent in the Championship game. This was the 11th season at the helm for Head Coach Steve Watkins. He got the job done with Assistants Art Clark, Anthony Musarra and Carmen Monaco.   

The JV Squad went 9-0 in League play for the second year in a row and advanced to the Championship game for the fourth time, the third time in a row. They came up short again as the Brunswick Jets prevailed for their third time in a row 14-0 ending their season mark at 10-1. The squad was coached by Head Coach Dave Walker and Assistants Mark Crooks and Coach Andrew Nigh.

The Pee Wee Squad was again under the direction of Head Coach Ryan Sweeney and his Assistant Coaches Fred Esposito, David Gerdeman and Terry Shrader. This division is only 5 years old and has continued to help prepare the youngest players to get up to speed for the Varsity and JV Divisions. They do keep score here but there is no Championship Game.

The Jets Flag Squad is made up of 5 and 6 year olds. They get an introduction to football and hopefully have a lot of fun before moving up the ladder in youth football. The Jets Flag players were again under the direction of Head Coach Scott Marcum and Assistant Mike Augustine.

Tammy Potter moved up to Varsity to work with the oldest girls. The Jets JV Cheer Squad was under the tutelage of Head Coach Kim Sexton and Assistant Sherry Graham. The Pee Wee cheerleaders had Head Coach and Assistant Ann Vogt. The Flag Squad was coached by Nicole McGivern. 

The Jets had great support and fund raising from their Team Moms. They were led by Head Team Mom Heidi Sweeney who did the JV and Pee Wee Squads, along with Sherrie Rivett from the Varsity squad and Jessica Marcum who was the Flag Team Mom.

2012 Senior Bucks Playing Last Game At Wellington

Posted by Dave Rea at Oct 20, 2012 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Buckeye Youth Football wants to recognize the senior Buckeye Bucks who were honored on Senior night last week against Keystone and will play their final high school game this Friday night at Wellington. These four players had an impact on our program and have had an impact on the high school program, we are proud of all of them. Beginning from the left:

Former Jaguar Anthony Kisiday (54) played with the Jaguars JV in 2005 and the Jags Varsity in 2006-07. He won the Coach's Award in 2005 as a first year player. After two years on Varsity he also received the Golden Jag Award in 2007. As a young player he was a team leader and exhibited Pride, Heart, and Discipline. He carried that over to his junior high and high school playing days and is a captain and leader with the Bucks in 2012.

Rick Monroe (42) was able to play with 2 teams in his 5 years in BYFA. He was a Jets JV player from 2003-05, was a Buccaneer Varsity Player in 2006 when there was no Jets Varsity squad and finished up with the Jets Varsity in 2007. Rick was the 2005 Coach's Award winner for the Jets and picked up the Golden Jet award in 2007 as a Varsity player, which was the same year Kisiday won the Golden Jet award. Monroe's 110 points ties him at 18th on the All Time Scoring list, he is closing in on 1,500 yards for his career as he has 1,447 through the Week 9.

Kyle was a (14) was a six year Jet, playing with the Flag in 2002-03, the JV from 2004-06 and finishing with the Jets Varsity in 2007. Kyle won the Jets JV Coach's Award in 2006. He had played wide receiver this season with the Bucks and was injured.

Alex Stanley (80) played 3 years with the Jags Varsity from 2006-08. In 2007 as a second year player he picked up the Iron Jag award which emphasizes Heart, Intensity, Toughness and Desire. Alex had and still has all that, if you aren't sure watch him catch a pass on Friday night. His last season in 2008 he followed that up with the Golden Jag award which is based on Heart, Pride and Discipline. He never let go of the numer 80 either as he wore it all three years with the Jags and is still wearing it.

We are proud of all of them for sticking with football and glad that we could play a small part in getting you introduced to the sport at a young age. If you can come out to Wellington and watch them finish off their senior season along with the other 20 underclassmen who are on that squad please do. Game time on October 26th is 7:00 at Dukes Stadium. GO BUCKS!!!
