from Shaolin McCray.
9 Clarence QB Steps Up
Clarence battled hard but fell to St. Joe’s
30-21 last weekend. If Clarence is going
to contend for the AA South Division
title, they will need a big season from
QB Scott Pinto, who did not play QB
until he joined the varsity team.
11 Seifert Solid at Iroquois
Iroquois earned a shutout as they beat
Hutch Tech 24-0 last weekend. After
opening the campaign with a heart-
breaking loss at West Seneca East, the

JFK fell behind 28-0 at the half and lost
to Class B Tonawanda 35-6 last week-
end. One of the few seniors on this sea-
son’s team is SE Shawn McPhail, who
is also starting at LB.
Rich Robbins Honored for WinCanisius coach Rich Robbins was named the
Buffalo Bills/National Guard Coach of the Week afterhis Crusaders beat Aquinas 34-0 last weekend.
Aquinas had entered the game ranked 48th in theUSAToday High School rankings.
“I’m very proud of our kids and our coaching staff,”Robbins said. “We were very well prepared for thegame and anything we asked those kids to do theydid. It was just a great job by our whole team.”
Aquinas had won the NYS Class AA championshipin 2013 and many thought the Little Irish were evenstronger this sea-son.
“Over the last10 years, Aquinasis the best pro-gram in the state,”Robbins said. “Tobe able to get awin at home inthe way that wedid is just tremen-dous.”
There was ahuge crowd inattendance for agame that fea-tured two of themost heavilyrecruited highschool players inthe nation.
“The bleacherswere full on bothsides,” Robbinssaid. “Our stu-dents were out inforce. Aquinas travels well but I noticed a lot of otherjackets and jerseys from other programs from aroundWNY. It was defenitely a game that a lot of peoplewere interested to see.”
Canisius’ top recruit, tight end TJ Wheatley, had asolid day. He caught 2 passes for 32 yards and made7 tackles on defense.
But Aquinas’ top player didn’t fare so well. Quarterback Jake Zembiec, one of the top five high
school QBs in the nation, was injured on the game’sfirst play from scrimmage.
He was sacked on the Little Irish first snap and suf-fered a broken wrist.
“Our outside linebacker got a clean shot,” Robbinssaid. “It was a good clean hit and unfortunately it had
a bad result. Jake tried to go another two plays butyou could see he was favoring it. He just couldn’t go.”
Robbins said that his players were actually disap-pointed that Aquinas had lost its star player.
“Our kids wanted to compete against him,” Robbinssaid. “We wanted to compete with the top talent andJake is one of the best quarterbacks there is.”
Mitch Thomas rushed for 150 yards on 10 carriesfor the Crusaders.
“He played wide receiver last year but we movedhim to tailback,” Robbins said. “We knew he was a
good runningback. He was oneof the bestreceivers we havehad and he madethe transition pret-ty easily.”
Canisius QBJakob Louckscompleted 10 of19 passes for 96yards and a TD inthe win. He alsorushed for 111yards and a TD onjust 8 carries.
“I think he wasa bit overwhelmedlast year,”Robbins said. “buthe is a night-and-day different play-er this year. Hemade quick deci-sions all day long.He’s been playing
really well.”Michael Tarbutt set a new Canisius record when he
kicked a 52-yard FG. The 52-yarder also ties a Msgr.Martin record and is the 8th longest FG in the NYS.
“It’s nice to have a weapon at kicker like that,”Robbins said. “He is a Division I-A prospect and I willcontinue to give him chances to kick like that.”
Robbins played high school football in Pittsburgh atNorth Allegany High School, where he was named anall-state player at defensive tackle.
He played college football at Alfred University underJim Moretti and was an All-Conference DT.
He now teaches Economics and is the AssistantAthletic Director in addition to coaching football atCanisius.

Orchard Park took a 21-12 lead after a wild first quarterand beat Kenmore West 35-18 last weekend.
“We came out very strong,” Orchard Park coach GeneTundo said. “We threw the ball well and we ran well. Theywere in a different defense than we expected. They commit-ted to stopping the run but we were able to pass to counter-act against that.”
Kenmore West scored with :01 left in the first quarter topull within 14-12 but Terius Wheatley returned the ensuing
kickoff 89 yards fora TD to give theQuakers a 9-pointlead.
“This is a goodgroup of guys thatcompete with eachother,” Tundo said.“Our second-lineplayers are as goodas the first stringplayers. There is ahealthy competitionbetween our kidsbecause they allwant to play. Atevery position ourstarter has guybehind them thatcould play.”
The Quakersdefense has beenoutstanding thisseason.
If the Quakersare going to make it back to Ralph Wilson Stadium for theClass AA title game, they will need a big year from juniorlinebacker Ron Schul.
“He started as a sophomore on the lacrosse team andhe was as good as anybody who played against him,”Tundo said. “In the state championship game, he won themajority of the faceoffs. We lost the game but if it wasn’t forRon, we wouldn’t have even been in the game.”
Schul is among the Quakers leading tacklers. He made11 tackles in the win over Kenmore West and also recordeda pair of QB sacks.
“He’s quick,” Tundo said. “He has good strength andgreat intuition. Sometimes he gets to where the ball is goingbefore the ball gets there.”
Schul has an academic average in the high 80s and willprobably play college lacrosse.
“He’s a winner,” Tundo said. “He goes full speed rightfrom the beginning of practice until the end of the game. Hegoes all out every day.”

By Mark AdairCatt-LV beat Panama 26-14 last weekend to improve to 2-0
on the season. The Timberwolves beat Westfield 27-26 in the
season-opener.
“You always want a positive start to the season,”
Cattaraugus-LV coach Tim Miller said. “You also don’t want to
think you are that good yet. We have a lot of work left to do but
starting 2-0 gives us some con-
fidence going forward.”
Miller says that his team
will face the hardest part of the
schedule in the next few weeks.
“The schedule only gets
tougher from here,” he said.
“We will hit some hurdles
along the way. We have
Randolph this week and that’s a
pretty big hurdle.”
Miller says he team is pre-
pared to face the defending
two-time NYS Class D champs.
“Our kids know what’s in
front of them,” he said. “We
need to have a really solid,
focused week. We need some
great preparation because we
have an outstanding football
program coming into our
place.”
In the win over Panama, the
Timberwolves fell behind early
for the second straight week.
“We were moving the ball
well but, once again, we had
some early-game issues,”
Miller said. “We had some
penalties and turnovers that
stopped our drives. We got it
going in the second quarter.”
Cattaraugus-LV took an 8-7
lead in the second quarter but allowed a TD with 1:00 to play in
the half and Panama led 14-8.
“We were able to put on a pretty quick drive and we scored
again to tie it up,” Miller said. “We had a little momentum going
into the half. After that, we tightened things down defensively.”
Cattaraugus-LV has a big advantage this season against other
Class D teams.
The Timberwolves have a kicker who has come to the team
from the soccer program.
“It’s a luxury when a class D coach has a kid that we can
send on the field and put it through the uprights,” Miller said.
“Down in Class D, good kickers are hard to find sometimes.”
Miller’s kicker has already won a game this season when
she... yes, she... kicked a PAT with less than a minute to play in
the 1-point win over Westfield.
Jenna Martin, a senior soccer player at Cattaraugus-LV,
decided last spring that she wanted to play football.
“When she signed up, I groaned,” Miller admitted. “I don’t
have anything against girls playing football. It’s just the little
headaches that come with it. We have to have separate arrange-
ments for the locker room for practice and the games. For road
games, we have to make sure there is a place she can get dressed
by herself. Just the tiny little headaches that no coach wants to
deal with.”
But, Miller said, he accepted
Martin as just another player.
“We’ve done it before,” he
said, “so we could deal with
again.”
Martin attended two-a-day
practice sessions in both football
and soccer during the August
pre-season in order to be eligible
for both sports.
“She just wanted to kick
because she thought she could
contribute,” Miller said. “When
we practiced the special teams
and the PAT kicks, was very
good at it. She was absolutely
the best we had and I don’t
know a coach out there that will
not take the best.”
Miller says that any soccer
player that wants to kick for him
is welcome... girl or boy.
“Those kids are skilled with
their feet and know how to
kick,” Miller said. “Soccer play-
ers are probably an underused
resource at a lot of football
schools. I’ve had two boys come
over from the soccer team to
kick and punt for us.”
Miller says he had been
resigned to just simply not kick-
ing this season.
“We had no football player could kick a PAT this year,” he
said, “and Jenna just sort of dropped in our lap. Turns out it was
pretty fortunate for us.”
Martin was 3-for-4 in the win over Westfield. And those little
headaches that Miller was worried about?
“They seem a lot less significant when she is kicking like she
is,” he said. “I know that if we get a good snap and hold, we’ll get
a point. Against Westfield, we got one more point than they did.”
Martin is an outstanding student. She is in the top 10 of her
class academically and a member of the National Honor society.
In addition to soccer and football, she also plays basketball.
“She’s everywhere,” Miller said. “If our kids are doing some-
thing positive, you can bet that she’s involved.”
In all, Martin has become an integral part of the team.
“The boys have been great with her,” he said. “She is a team-
mate and they’ve accepted her. She made it easy for them to
accept her. They want to win and she can help us do that.”

Niagara Falls used a miracle finish to
beat Cheektowaga 22-21 last weekend.
The improbable win improved the
Wolverines to 2-0 on the season.
“This team is very young,” coach Don
bass said. “We start
7 juniors and
sophomores. They
are hardworking
young men who
want to get better
and they don’t ever
give up.”
With just :33
left in the game,
Cheektowaga led
21-15 and had the
ball. The Falls had
just used their final
time out.
“We told the
kids to hold and
strip,” Bass said.
“We practice the
strip drill on a daily
basis and this is
exactly why.”
Cheektowaga
called a running
play, hoping to get the first down and
clinch the win.
Instead, The Wolverines Joe Medley
stripped the ball and ran 82 yards down
the sidelines for the game-tying TD. Jeff
Menyah kicked the PAT to give Niagara
falls the win.
“That kick would have been good from
40 yards out,” Bass said.
This is the Wolverines first 2-0 start in
several years.
“We’ve been getting a lot of positive
feedback from our
students and teach-
ers at the school,”
Bass said. “It’s been
wonderful.”
If Niagara Falls
is going to contend
for the AA North
title, they will need
a big year from
Shaolin McCray.
“He rushed for
over 100 yards both
games,” Bass said.
“He had 141 yards
against
Cheektowaga and
he also backs up on
defense.”
McCray (5-11,
175) can bench
press nearly 300
pounds.
“He’s a very
strong kid,” Bass said. “He’s also fast. You
are not going to run him down.”
McCray was named a team captain and
has an academic average in the 90s.
“He was one of the hardest workers in
the weight room,” Bass said. “He’s a quiet
leader and the kids respect him.”

Clarence battled hard but fell to St.
Joe’s 30-21 last weekend.
“I was very pleased with how the kids
played,” Clarence coach Mark Layer said.
“It was competitive right down to the end.
It was a hard-hit-
ting game and I
thought our kids
stepped up and
played well.”
This is the 2nd
straight year that
Layer has sched-
uled St. Joe’s.
“The competi-
tion you get when
you play the
Catholic schools
makes you better,”
he said. “It puts
your kids in a high-
ly competitive situ-
ation. It prepares
our kids for how
physical it will be
when we play
Orchard Park and
Jamestown.”
With the loss,
the Devils are now 1-1.
“I’m happy with how we are playing,”
Layer said. “I am thoroughly pleased with
the effort the kids are giving. They are
invested in what we are trying to do.”
If Clarence is going to contend for the
AA South Division title, they will need a
big season from QB Scott Pinto.
“Scott didn’t play quarterback for the
JV team,” Layer said. “He played receiver
and linebacker.”
Layer looked at his program and
decided that he
needed another QB.
“We had a
senior starter last
year,” he said, “but
after that, we didn’t
have a kid that
could play QB in a
varsity situation.
Scott asked if he
could try it.”
Pinto started one
game at QB last fall.
“He has a strong
arm and he is accu-
rate,” Layer said,
“but his experience
was limited.”
Pinto (5-10, 200)
worked extremely
hard to become a
viable varsity QB.
“Scott worked
really hard in the
off-season,” Layer said. “He really dedi-
cated himself to being the QB this year.”
Layer says that Pinto’s demeanor on
the field is an asset.
“He has poise,” Layer said. “He’s not
afraid to show leadership in a positive way.
I have tremendous confidence in him.”

Williamsville East lost to North
Tonawanda 41-14 last week to fall to 0-2
on the season.
“We are going to stay positive,” coach
Chris McDuffie said. “Those are two very
good football
teams that we
played. We have
Homecoming this
week against
Starpoint and that’s
what our focus is
on.”
McDuffie said
that, despite the
scores, his team
has not played
poorly.
“We are shoot-
ing ourselves in the
foot with a fumble
or a holding penal-
ty,” he said. “Those
are things that we
can control and we
need to correct. We
talk about align-
ment, assignment
and effort. You
have a better chance to win if you can
control those three things.”
If the Flames are going to bounce back
and contend for the Class A playoffs, they
will need a big year from Tahji Lewis.
The senior team captain is one of the
fastest players in Western New York.
“He runs a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash,”
McDuffie said. “He is extremely fast and
he has had a lot of success running track.
Sometimes we flank him out in the slot
because he’s so fast.”
Lewis (5-7, 145)
is not a behemoth,
but he is a tena-
cious player.
“He’s not very
big,” McDuffie
said, “but he plays
big. He’s a straight
forward runner.
When he gets a
head of steam he
can be tough to
bring down.”
Lewis is a team
captain for the
Flames.
“Our coaches
picked him,”
McDuffie said.
“His leadership
skills are outstand-
ing. He brings love
and enjoyment of
the game every day
when he plays football.”
Lewis rushed for 177 yards against
Bennett and another 80 yards against NT.
“Pound-for-pound, he is one of the
strongest kids on our team,” McDuffie
said. “He has college-level potential with
his physical attributes. He can play.”

Iroquois earned a shutout as they beat
Hutch Tech 24-0 last weekend. After
opening the campaign with a heart-break-
ing loss at West Seneca East, the Chiefs
are now 1-1 on the year.
“When we lost
to East, I actually
felt pretty good on
the bus ride home,”
coach Keith
Marshall said. “We
had played a pretty
good game against
a very good team.”
The week fol-
lowing the loss,
Marshall sensed
that his players had
a renewed purpose.
“I thought we
had a focused,
physical football
team,” he said. “I
had a good feeling
about where the
kids were mentally
going into the
Hutch Tech game.”
In the win over
the Engineers, Iroquois scored twice in
the first quarter to take a 16-0 lead and
never looked back.
“Our kids showed they could respond
to adversity,” Marshall said.
If the Chiefs are going to contend for a
Class A playoff spot, they will need a big
year from QB Kyle Seifert, a senior who
was thrust into the starting role in 2013
when Josh Pysynzski was lost for the sea-
son with an injury.
“Kyle learned a lot of lessons on the
fly,” Marshall said,
“but those lessons
are paying divi-
dends now. He is a
completely different
player this year.”
Seifert (6-2, 205)
put in a ton of work
in the off-season to
make himself better.
“He went to
every clinic or
camp possible,”
Marshall said.
“Some kids make
progress in the off-
season but Kyle
made a huge jump.”
In the win over
Hutch Tech, Seifert
completed 8 of 12
passes for 130
yards and 2 TDs.
“He totally
understands the intellectual part of the
game now,” Marshall said.
Seifert is an outstanding student, with
an academic average in the high-90s.
“He is a true student-athlete,” Marshall
said. “He is committed in the class room
and he brings that to the football field.”

Burgard improved to 2-0 on the season
when the Bulldogs won a hard-fought
game over Fredonia 20-16 last weekend.
“I’m happy that our kids stuck with it

Kolb said. “That
was a very good
program that we
beat. They had a
big crowd and it
was a very differ-
ent environment
than our kids our
used to.”
Burgard took a
12-0 lead in the
first quarter but
Fredonia returned a
kickoff for a TD to
pull within 12-8.
“Fredonia has a
lot of good players
that know how to
win.” Kolb said.
“That kickoff
return put them
right back in it.”
Kolb was
pleased that his
players responded.
“Our kids came right back,” he said.
“They hung with the play calls and stuck
with the game plan. We were just a block
or two away. A couple of series later we
made a big play.”
Marcus Hampton broke free for a 31-
yard TD run to give Burgard a 20-8 lead.
“It was just a simple counter play,”
Kolb said. “He stuck it in the gap and was
gone.”
If the Bulldogs are going to contend
for the B North title
they will be relying
on 3-year starter
Roderick Morrow
to have a solid sea-
son.
“He usually
starts on the o-line
and at defensive
end,” Kolb said.
“but this week we
had injuries and he
stepped in at line-
backer for us.”
Morrow
responded to the
switch with 12 tack-
les, 4 QB sacks and
a fumble recovery.
“He has good
size and he can
move,” Kolb said.
“He can cover
receivers and he
gets off the ball so well that he can beat
an OL with his speed and strength.”
Morrow (6-1, 205) will be looked at
by several of the Division III colleges.
“He’s a very special, talented kid,”
Kolb said. “He’s on track to graduate and
I know he could help a D-3 program.”

Alden dropped to 0-2 on the season
when the Bulldogs lost to Maryvale 27-18
last weekend.
“We’ve played two very tough teams,”
coach Rob Currin said. “Unfortunately
they have gotten
the better of us. We
just need to go to
work every day
and try to get bet-
ter. We’ll do the
best we can turn
things around.”
Alden has
played at the Ralph
5 straight years and
won 3 of the last 4
Class B titles.
“We have had a
pretty good run the
last 7 years,”
Currin said, “but
this year’s team is
very young. We are
starting 2 seniors
on defense and 3
on offense. We have
one kid back that
was a 2-way starter
last year.”
Currin says that his players remain
upbeat.
“The kids have responded well,” he
said. “We are very young and the kids are
still getting used to varsity football. The
speed is different when you get up to the
varsity game. This is not a rebuilding situ-
ation for us. We just need to find our
character and discover our identity.”
The only senior back who started on
last season’s team is LB Alex Schweitzer.
“Alex is a 3-year
starter for us,”
Currin said. “He
was called up
halfway through his
sophomore year.
We had an injury
and he was called
up to fill in and he
did a great job.”
Schweitzer was
named a team cap-
tain before the sea-
son started.
“Our kids can
look to him as a
guy that under-
stands what it
takes,” Currin said.
“He knows what
the tempo of prac-
tice should be. He
knows what the
expectations are.”
Schweitzer (6-0, 215) was the
Bulldog’s leading tackler in 2013.
“He’s hard-nosed,” Currin said. “He’s
a tough, hard-working kid. He comes to
work every day and never takes a play
off. He’s done everything we have ever
asked of him.”

Pioneer lost to East Aurora 21-0 last
weekend, the second straight game that
the Panthers have been shut out.
Pioneer opened the season with an 8-0
loss to Dunkirk.
“We fumbled
four times and East
Aurora scored on a
punt return,” coach
Jim Duprey said.
“They had a short
field the entire
game. We were
going in for a score
and lost a fumble on
the 1-yard line. We
had 9 penalties for
70 yards. We just
made entirely too
many mistakes.”
Duprey says
that he is trying to
focus his players
on one thing... the
next game.
“We just hope
to improve,” he
said. “We need to
focus on game-to-
game and work out of the tremendous
hole that we have put ourselves into.”
Duprey is pleased with the play of his
defense - which has been solid thus far.
“Our defense is playing very well,” he
said. “In the first half east Aurora had 3
fields inside the 30 because of our mis-
takes but we held pretty tight. If we elimi-
nate the mistakes, I think we will be okay.
But, clearly, we need to get better on
offense and we need to get better fast.”
One player that will be needed for a
rebound is senior
RB Tyler Mummery.
“Tyler has been
up with us as a
starter since he was
a sophomore,”
Duprey said. “He is
our best defensive
player and is lead-
ing the team in
tackles right now.”
In 2013,
Mummery rushed
for over 900 yards
and was a first-team
all-league player.
“He is deceiv-
ingly fast and he
has excellent
vision,” Duprey
said. “He can make
the cutback and he
is always moving
forward. He has a
very natural running style.”
Mummery is a team captain.
“He’s a pretty outspoken leader,”
Duprey said, “and his football IQ is out-
standing. He knows everybody’s assign-
ment. On defense, he makes sure we are
lined up right and in the right position.”

JFK fell behind 28-0 at the half and
lost to Class B Tonawanda 35-6 last
weekend.
The Bears were heavily out-sized in
the contest.
“They have size
and speed,’ JFK
coach Mark
Ostempowski said.
“We stressed it all
week but I don’t
think we were
quite ready for it.
They were just big-
ger and had more
speed than we did.”
Ostempowski
says that he was
pleased with his
team as they have
started 1-1 this fall.
“We played a
great game against
Akron,” he said,
“and we lost to a
team from a bigger
class. It’s a non-
league loss so it
doesn’t affect the
playoffs at all. We’re 1-0 in league games
and that’s what matters.”
Last season the Bears struggled as a
lineup loaded with sophomores and fresh-
man learned the varsity game.
“We’ve matured,” Ostempowski said.
“You can tell that we have kids with some
experience but we are still a young team.
We only graduated a few seniors from last
year. Our juniors have stepped up and
taken the leadership role.’
One of the few seniors on this season’s
team is SE Shawn
McPhail, who is
also starting at LB.
McPhail (5-11,
160) is one of the
Bears leading tack-
lers.
“He’s not huge
but he has pretty
good speed,”
Ostempowski said.
“He was mostly at
running back last
year but toward the
end of the year we
moved him out to
receiver.”
McPhail started
the 2013 season at
CB.
“He was moved
around on defense
too,” Ostempowski
said. “He’s pretty
aggressive at linebacker.”
McPhail is a team captain.
“You have to prove to your teammates
that you should be a captain,”
Ostempowski said, “and he definitely
earned that spot. He has become a leader
on the field.”

Gowanda feel to 0-2 when they lost to
MGCLake last weekend.
“We came out timid and that’s how we
looked,” coach Sean Gabel said. “When
we have a chance to play a team like that,
we need to be
aggressive. Maple
Grove has a big-
time reputation.
They are picked to
go to the states but
you can’t let that
stuff dictate a game
before you get on
the field.”
Gabel said he
was pleased his
players effort.
“Our kids
played hard and
they didn’t quit,” he
said. “We’re over it
and we are looking
forward now.”
Gabel also said
that it has taken
time to get some
cohesion in a line-
up that underwent a
drastic change before the season began.
“We got some Pine Valley kids when
their program folded,” Gabel said. “But they
didn’t have enough practices so they were a
week behind. They couldn’t scrimmage and
it took a while to get them into the lineup.
We are getting our feet under us.”
Gabel said that the merger has gone
well thus far.
“The kids have been great with each
other,” he said, “but it takes a little more
time to get the timing of the offense
down.”
If the Panthers
are going to bounce
back from the 0-2
start, they will need
TB Jon McCarthy.
“He starts at tail-
back,” Gabel said,
“but he also plays
flanker, linebacker
and cornerback. He
just wants to play
where ever we need
him.”
McCarthy (5-11,
170) is a 3-year
starter and a 2-time
team captain.
“His leadership
and his demeanor
are outstanding,”
Gabel said. “He’s at
practice every day
and works his butt
off. He has an old-school work ethic.”
McCarthy has an academic average in
the mid-90s.
“He might have the highest GPA on the
team,” Gabel said. “He’s respectful and
works hard. He’s just the kind of kid you
want to coach.”

Panama played to a 14-14 tie at the
half but gave up two scores in the second
half and lost to Cattaraugus-LV 26-14 last
weekend.
“We played pretty well,” coach Chris
Payne said. “We
gave up a touch-
down with 9 sec-
onds left in the half
and I think that
turned the momen-
tum their way.”
The Panthers
are now 1-1, in
what will be the
final Panama foot-
ball season.
“This is it,”
Payne said. “We
will merge with the
Sherman-Clymer
team for the 2015
season.”
Payne says that
the smaller num-
bers affecting every
small school in
WNY is now hit-
ting Panama.
“We have 12 juniors and 12 seniors
on the team,” Payne said. “We have only
6 sophomores in the entire program and
none of the freshman are ready for varsity
football yet. Our JVs are already merged
with Sherman and Clymer.”
Payne says he was tempted to join the
Sherman-Clymer merger this season.
“But we weren’t ready yet,” Payne
said. “We had 24 seniors and juniors com-
ing back and we all wanted one more go-
around as Panama. We want to go out on
a solid note. We
want to compete
and play hard every
week.”
Panama suffered
a huge loss last
week when leading
rusher Kyle Saxton
was lost with a bro-
ken collar bone.
“He had 70
yards rushing in the
middle of the sec-
ond quarter,” Payne
said. “He was tak-
ing us up and down
the field.”
Saxton rushed
for a team-high 872
yards in 2013.
“He’s a downhill
runner,” Payne said.
“He has no moves.
Just straight ahead,
full-go and he keeps going.”
Saxton will be out 6 to 8 weeks.
“He wanted to go back in the game but
the trainer told him no,” Payne said. “His
passion is football. He’s a quiet, no-non-
sense kid. We’re all devastated that this
happened to him.”

St. Joe’s led 16-7 at the half and beat
Clarence 30-21 last week
“I thought we had an opportunity to
put them away in the first half,” coach
Dennis Gilbert said. We blocked a punt
for a safety and got
the ball back right
before the half. We
didn’t capitalize.
We still have to
learn that you can’t
let the other team
hang around.”
After opening
the season with a
loss to Long Island
powerhouse St.
Anthony’s, St.
Joe’s is now 1-1.
“We are still a
work in progress,”
Gilbert said. “Our
young guys are
starting to get their
feet under them.”
St. Joe’s title
hopes took a blow
in June when the
Marauders starting
QB Mike McCarthy was lost for the sea-
son with a knee injury.
“He playing basketball at a park all by
himself,” Gilbert said. “He was jogging to
retrieve the ball and his knee gave out.”
That didn’t give Gilbert a ton of time
to find a new QB. So he asked senior
David Archer if he would like to try call-
ing the signals.
“He started at safety for us when he
was a sophomore,” Gilbert said. “but he
didn’t play the next season. He wanted to
play fall baseball.’
Archer missed
playing football.
“He came to me
and asked if he
could come back,”
Gilbert said, “I said
absolutely.”
Throughout the
spring, Archer
worked at FS and
WR. But when
McCarthy was
injured, Gilbert
asked him to try
quarterback.
“We got together
and went through
some stuff,” Gilbert
said, “and he’s done
a phenomenal job.
He’s a tremendous
leader. He has great
physical ability and
a super strong arm. He’s pretty fast, too.”
Archer has been timed at 4.6 in the 40-
yard dash.
“He’s been away from football for 2
years and he’s playing great,” Gilbert
said. “I couldn’t be happier with how he’s
playing.’

CTF’s vision is to develop the hearts of coaches andathletes to be men of character for others.
The 2014 season is in high gear. What a great first week.Cross Training Football is honored to be walking through
the season with you. We want to encourage, equip andempower you to be an Athlete of Character.
Teddy Roosevelt said, “Character, in the long run, is thedecisive factor in the life of an individual and of nationsalike.”
I believe this to be true for any team as well.
This year’s Theme is: BE RELENTLESS. The first two weeks we have talked about BELIEVE. All
things are possible for those who believe. If you believesomething is true then you need to take action. Just Believeand go for it.
The second word we talked about was ENVISION. Wedefined envision as a clear, powerful picture worth pursu-ing. What is your vision for the team? Write it down make itplain even for others. Then run with it, work it out.
This week’s word is RESPONSIBLE: Commitment even ifit requires unexpected sacrifice. If you can be trusted with alittle, you can then be trusted with much. If you are dishonesta little, you will be dishonest with much. Athletes... Knowwhat’s right and do what’s right, even if it means sacrifice.
Athletes who are RESPONSIBLE can and will be trusted.Strap it up and get after it … have a great week!
Remember: Love never fails and love also covers team-mate’s mistakes.

NT’s Great EightBy Mark Adair
North Tonawanda beatWilliamsville East 41-14last week as theLumberjacks started theseason 2-0.
The ‘Jacks opened theseason with a 28-0 winover Riverside, the firstshutout NT has earned inthree years.
“We’re excited,” NTcoach Tony Truilizio said.“we’ve played pretty wellbut I still don’t know howgood we are.”
Truilizio said that theLumberjacks will comeinto sharper focus follow-ing this weekends match-up with Sweet Home.
“The big bench markwill be Sweet Home,” hesaid. “They are alwaysthe team to beat. We’llsee how we do againstSweet Home.”
Truilizio says that hefeels better about thisseason than any of thethree years he hascoached at NT.
“We worked very hardall off season,” he said,“more so than in anyother year. These guysdefinitely put in the time.”
Sweet Home - a team that has won 7 of the last 8Class A titles - will provide a stern test for NorthTonawanda. The Panthers are coming off a 65-14 winover Kenmore East last week.
“I’m looking forward to playing them,” Truilizio said.“They are the team to beat year in and year out.”
The Lumberjacks two wins have been fashioned bygood old-fashioned, hard-hitting defense.
“We’re playing good defense right now,” Truilizio said.“Those kids are doing a great job. We’ve given up 14points in 2 games. Riverside has tremendous athletes.We shut them out and had 6 sacks. Williamsville Eastmay not have won yet but their offense is pretty powerful.We had 5 turnovers and 4 passes defended so the
defense is doing it’s job.”Truilizio says that the
improvement of thedefense over last year isa big reason for all theexcitement in NorthTonawanda right now.
“Our offense hasalways been high-pacedand scored a lot ofpoints,” he said, “but thedefense has reallyimproved. If we can con-tinue to get the full com-bination of offense anddefense, we’ll be in goodshape.”
The Lumberjacks alsohave one of the biggestweapons in WesternNew York in quarterbackChris Woodard.
“Chris is the realdeal,” Truilizio said.“We’ve been saying it forthe last couple of years.He does so many differ-ent things really well.”
Woodard ran all overWilliamsville East lastweek. The senior rushedfor 208 yards and 3 TDson just 9 carries.
His TD runs covered24, 63 and 75 yards.
“He’s deceptivelyfast,” Truilizio said. “He has long strides. It doesn’t looklike he’s moving fast but if he gets to the edge very fewpeople can catch him. His speed and the sheer power hehas is pretty special. I haven’t seen anything like it since Iplayed college football at Canisius.”
Woodard also completed 7 of 9 passes for 79 yardsand another 3 TDs in the win.
“If he continues the pace he’s on,” Truilizio said, “he’llbe up for the Connolly Cup at the end of the year.”
Woodard is a dual threat at QB. In 2013, he rushed for888 yards and 11 TDs. He also passed for 1,533 yardsand 9 TDs.
Additionally, he was named a first-team punter for the
North Tonawanda QB Chris Woodard ran for 208 yards and 3 TDsin the Lumberjacks win over Williamsville East last week. Thesenior also passed for another 3 TDs.

All-Football Weekly team.“Chris is getting a lot of looks from Division I-AA schools
right now,” Truilizio said. “There is nothing wrong with thatbut I think he could play at a higher level. I think thatteams like Syracuse and UB should be looking at him a lit-tle closer.”
Woodard, at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, has the size toplay Division I football.
“He’s not thin at all,” Truilizio said. “He is all muscle. Heruns with a lot of power. He’s not afraid to take a hit andhe’ll definitely give a hit. Where ever they play him at thenext level, he will be a huge asset.”
Woodard is an outstanding student and maintains anacademic average of 98.
“All the Ivy League schools are looking at him,” Truiliziosaid. “Every one of them.”
Woodard has already received a scholarship offer fromCentral Connecticut State but says he is trying not to thinkabout college too much.
“I’m trying to keep all the college scholarships in theback on my mind right now,” he said. “I don’t want to thinkabout that and mess up my game. Academics will take mefarther anyway.”
He wants to major in Exercise Science or PhysicalTherapy.
“I definitely want to be involved in sports,” he said. “Iwould love to be a trainer for a college team some day.”
Woodard says he is so focused on getting to the RalphWilson Stadium this season that he hasn’t thought muchabout the future.
“I think we are going in the right direction,” he said. “Weknew we could have a good year if we worked really hardin the off-season.”
Woodard has played football with six of his teammatessince they were small children. Woodard, Alex Molik (OL),Taylor Mellott (LB), Ryan McDonough (LB), Ryan Gilbert(CB) and Drew Krantz (CB) were teammates on the LittleLeague team in North Tonawanda.
“We’ve been teammates since forever,” Woodard said.“We’d always go to the games on Friday nights and cheeron the ‘Jacks. I thought those kids on the high school teamwere huge back then.”
North Tonawanda went to The Ralph five straight yearsand won the NYS title when Woodard was growing up.
“I thought those guys were the greatest players ever,”he said. “It’s awesome when I look and see the little kids atour games now. I know just what they are thinking whenthey watch us play. It’s so important to handle ourselveswith class at all times. We don’t want to show them some-thing bad.”
Woodard knows that the season’s biggest game is thisweekend.
“Sweet Home was 9-1 last year and they have a lot ofkids back,” he said. “We saw them at the Buff State camp.It will be a great game. I think it will be close and hopefullywe can come out on top.”

Utica College has started the season 2-0 with a 55-0win over Misericordia and a 23-16 win at Union.
The defense has, thus far, been outstanding. ThePioneers are allowingan average of 8 pointsper game and haveallowed a total of 174yards of offense.
“In back-to-backgames we have scoreddefensive touchdowns,”head coach BlaiseFaggiano said. “Our kidshave played really well.They have a shutoutand two defensivetouchdowns and youreally can’t ask for awhole lot more.”
In the win overMisericordia, JamesLenehan returned aninterception 30 yards fora TD.
In the win overUnion, cornerbackIrvens Eristil returned afumble 17 yards for thegame-winning touch-down and sealed thewin with an interception.
Eristil was named theEmpire 8 DefensivePlayer of the Week forhis efforts.
Utica actually trailed 16-0 at the half against Union.The defense kept us in the game and got us started,”
Faggiano said. “We recovered two fumbles that led toscores and turned things our way.”
The Utica defense is led by Defensive Coordinator WillPluff, a graduate of Kenmore West.
“Coach Pluff actually helps me with special teams, too,”Faggiano said. “And, we had a 74-yard return for a TD. So,I would say that Coach Pluff is doing pretty well.”
Pluff played high school football at Ken West under RichHarris. He graduated in 2002.
“Utica was in the second year as a program,” Pluff said.“I’ve been here for every year of Utica football except the2000, 2001 and 2006 seasons.”
Pluff was a captain on the 2005 Utica team, the first tofinish the season with a winning record.
“When I graduated from Utica, I moved back home toBuffalo,” Pluff said. “Mainly, because I had no idea what Iwanted to do. I got a full-time job at Baker Victory Services,
working in a group home for Developmentally DisabledAdults.”
After one year away from football, Pluff got a call fromhis old college coach, Mike Kemp.
“Coach Kemp asked me to come back as a grad assis-tant and coach the LBs,”Pluff said. “I jumped atthe chance.”
However...“During my first year
of coaching, CoachKemp got fired in themiddle of the season.”Pluff said.
Pluff said that he wascrushed when Kemo wasfired.
“That hurt,” he said. “Iwas 22 years old and theguy who I played for andwho hired me for my firstjob was out. I wasshocked. I had not evencoached an entire sea-son yet. It was a veryemotional week.”
Pluff prepared to lookfor work again.
“I’m thinking that I’mgoing be out and have tomove back to Buffaloagain.’
However, Faggianointerviewd Pluff for a jobon the staff and wasimpressed.
“I saw his passion forUtica College football,” Faggiano said. “He had a lot ofpride in his program and wanted to stay and be a part of it.I just knew it was important to keep him on staff.”
Pluff gets back to his hometown often as he handles allrecruiting duties in Western New York.
“We had a great recruiting class this year,” Faggianosaid. “In fact, every student-athlete we have had fromBuffalo has been a very good football player.”
Pluff, who is still just 30 years old, has spent more than12 years with the Utica football program.
“I’m the last guy from Blaise’s original staff that’s stillhere,” Pluff said. “I played for four years, I was a gradassistant for 4 years and now I am in my 4th year asdefensive coordinator. I’m in a great position.”
Pluff says that he is still at Utica for the same reasonthat he came to the college as a freshman football player.
“We’ve worked really hard to get the program to wherewe are now,” he said. “I want to be really successful here,which is exactly what I came here to do back in 2002.”

The Hobart Statesmen won their firsttwo games of the season, including a28-18 win over Endicott last weekend.
Hobart opened the fall campaign witha win over traditional rival DickinsonCollege.
“We’ve won thatgame 9 out of the last10 years,” Hobartcoach Mike Cragg said.“They have been a tra-ditional rival for 25 or30 years but they aredropping us in a coupleof years.”
Cragg is pleased with the start for theStatesmen.
“I’m very happy that we’re 2-0,” hesaid. “Our back-ups have been able toget playing time and experience. Wehave played pretty good football.”
The Statesmen are averaging 30points per game.
“We have moved the ball well,”Cragg said. “Endicott made the NCAAplayoffs last year so that was a goodtest for us.”
Hobart will go back to the Boston,Massachusetts area to play CurryCollege this weekend before hostingKings College (Pa.) for Homecoming.
“If we play our game, we’ll be okay,”he said. “We needed to improve thepass defense and we’ve done that. Wejust try to keep focused on the nextgame and not look at the big picture.”
Hobart has finished the last two regu-lar seasons undefeated. The Statesmenhave won the Liberty League both yearsand have made the NCAA playoffs.
Cragg is also delving deeper into theWestern New York recruiting waters.
“Section 6 is an important area forus,” he said. “There’s an awful lot ofgood football players in Buffalo.”
One recruit who is playing well is DEBrandon Ball, a 2014 Springville grad.
“Brandon is playing defensive end forus and he’s rotating in right now,” Craggsaid. “We use him a lot on passingdowns because he has a high motorand good football instincts.’
Ball is also able to get varsity playingtime while learning the position from 1st-team All-American DE Tyre Coleman.
“We bring in about 30 freshman eachyear,” Cragg said. “It’s really difficult fora freshman to get any playing time. But,the jump to college football hasn’t beentoo much for Brandon.”
Cragg says that Ball is improving andearning more playing time each week.
“The thing that stands out is hisstrength,” Cragg said. “He’s very strongand has a nice job against the run. He isa very hard working individual. And hegets better every day on practice.”
Ball is not making much noise, but heis opening some eyes.
“He’s a quiet individual,” Cragg said,“but football and Hobart are very impor-tant to him. I am very pleased with him.”

I saw Otto Slamkowski the other day. He had a scowland was chomping on his ever-present cigar.
“Hey, Otto. How ya doin’?”He gave a resigned sigh and shook his head.“What’s the matter, now?” I asked.“Oh, my wife got a computer a few weeks ago,” he said.
“I joined this thing called Facebook... big waste of time.”“Well,” I answered, “If that’s the case, why did you join?”“I’m trying to keep up with the Western New York football
scene and if you wanna do that nowadays, you have tohave a computer and use thatinternet thing,” he said.
I asked him what he wasseeing on Facebook.
“Everyone’s all up in arms,”he said, “because teams arescoring 60 and 70 points insome of the games. Peopleare ranting about the gamewithout mentioning the teamsinvolved... like they don’t wantto embarass anyone.”
“Well,” I said. “A lot of people don’t like it when a teamspound on an opponent like that. They kind of took advan-tage of a weaker team.”
“Oh,” Otto said, wrinkling his forehead. “But, isn’t thatwhat football teams are supposed to do? Find a weaknessin your opponent and take advantage of it?”
“Well...” I started.“So, if your opponent has a weakness, you’re supposed
to try not to score? Maybe the coach could tell his runningbacks to fall down as soon as they get the ball. That mightmake it easier on the other team.”
“I don’t think you understand the spirit of high schoolfootball,” I said. “You are supposed to use good sports-manship and not humiliate the other guy.”
“Who said anything about humiliating?” Otto asked.“What’s humiliating about getting beat as long as you didyour best and played your hardest right to the end?”
“I guess I see your point,” I conceded. “But some peo-ple are saying that those teams should have stopped scor-ing because the game was out of hand.”
“Out of hand?” Otto asked. “Check the New York Staterecord book, pal. In the old days, there were a lot ofgames that ended 121-0. I mean, quite a few teams havewon games 48-0 this year. Should we punish them forthat? Jamestown has scored 68 points the other night.
Should they get a letter of reprimand? And why should thelosing teams be embarrassed? They fought hard to thevery end. They have nothing to be ashamed of.”
“I guess...” I started.“Besides, Frontier just got caught on a bad night,” Otto
said. “What about those other programs?”“What other programs?” I asked.“There are a few football programs out there that
haven’t won more than two games in a season sinceMcKinley was shot in Buffalo,” Otto said with disgust.“Their community does not take the sport seriously and allthe opposing coaches protect these programs by not scor-ing on them. For years, these same teams lose 45-0 eachand every week. Why not truly roll it up on them and leteveryone know how bad they really are?”
“That wouldn’t be very nice,” I said.“So what?” Otto laughed. “Football isn’t nice. It’s a com-
petition. The idea behind a competition is to do your verybest. After it’s over, shake hands, share some mutual
respect and leave the fieldtogether as fellow warriors.”
“By beating them 121-0?” Iasked.
“Sure,” he said, “Then thesekids might understand howmuch work they have to do toget better. You see, the reallygood programs don’t just getlucky. Those coaches and theirplayers work their butts off toget good. They work all winter,spring and summer to get ready
for the season. They do a ton of fund-raising so they canattend camps and coaching clinics. Their community andtheir school district makes sure they have all the equipmentthey need to get bigger, stronger and faster.”
“But...” I started.“Unfortunately, not everybody wants to work hard,” Otto
said. “Some kids sit around all summer watching cartoons.Did they run the bleachers? Did they lift weights everyday? Maybe if they got beat 121-0 every single week, theywould understand exactly how much work and effort ittakes to be good at football.”
“But we’re trying to do more than just coach football,” Isaid. “We’re trying to teach life’s lessons to these kids.”
“By not making them feel bad,” Otto said, his voice drip-ping with sarcasm. “Let me tell you, teaching kids that lifewill take it easy on you when you don’t work hard is exact-ly the WRONG kind of lesson we should be teaching.”
“Um...” I said. “Wow... maybe you have a point.”“Of course I have a point,” he said, “but it’ll never hap-
pen. Everyone would rather complain about the successfulprograms than try to be more like them. We make rules sothat strong and successful people are as mediocre aseveryone else. That way, nobody gets their feelings hurt.”
“It’s the American way.”

Otto Weighs in Again
By Mark Adair
We make rules so that successful people
are as mediocre as everyone else.
It’s not the critic who counts.
Not the man who points out wherethe strong man stumbled or wherethe doer of deeds could have donethem better.
The credit belongs to the man marred by the dust and the sweat and the blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again and again...
...who at best knows,in the end, the triumphof high achievements and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
