2012 Ray Kocher Classic

South-End Rivalry Game Set To Resume This Week!
 
 
 vs
 
 

The Ray Kocher Classic Football Game named after former John Barsby HS and Nanaimo District HS Principal Mr. Ray Kocher is set to be played this week between the two schools.  Mr. Kocher was the administrator who brought HS Football to this town beginning in February 1996 with the inception of the John Barsby Bulldogs.  In 2001, coming off of their first BC Championship the Barsby Coaching Staff approached Mr. Kocher and then VP Mr. John Blaine of NDSS about splitting the JB crew and starting a new program at Nanaimo District. Both men supported the idea and led by coach Nate Stevenson, the NDSS program came into existence.  The rest has been over a decade of football history affecting in a very positive way, hundreds of young men,their families and their school community to name just a few. 

This week we honor our collective history with the big game down in the South-End.  Many of the players on each team have grown up playing one another since they were fifth and sixth graders.  The game is truly a rivalry and will be hard fought.  Barsby had better bring their A-Game!!

JV Kick-Off is Thursday, 4 October at 3:16 PM on NDSS Field.
 
Fun and Gun JV Islanders Ready to Roll on Their Home Turf!
 

Varsity Kick-Off is Friday, 5 October at 1:46 PM on NDSS Field.

Islander Fullback Will Curry Leads Potent Run Game Into 2012 Kocher Classic Tilt!




We are encouraging everyone to  come on out, wear their school colors and cheer on their squad! Cheer for our team and not against the other team!  Bring your A-Game!!

Go Dawgs!!

 

Varsity Dawgs 20 Windsor 7

Dawgs Up Divisional Record To 2-0
 
 
Congratulations to our Varsity on their 20-7 road victory over the very tough and well prepared Windsor Dukes this past Friday.  Our defense was solid throughout and we played well offensively in the late quarters.  We wish James and Dexter a speedy recovery in the coming weeks.

Next up for our Varsity is the Ray Kocher Classic rivalry game vs Nanaimo District HS on Friday, 5 October.

Go Dawgs!

JV's Surge!

Our JV's played AAA WJ Mouat extremely tough in a hot, hard fought contest on the turf in Abbottsford.  The young Barsby crew was relentless and though we came up short on the scoreboard 27-16, we had drives end on the Mouat 1, twice on their 3 and once on the 5.  A little more finish and it is a different game entirely!

Varsity 64-Carson Graham 14


Talk about Bounce!  Carson opened the game with a nice drive and a score, but the Varsity Dawgs responded in massive fashion.  At the end of the 1st quarter we led 22-6, at half it was 44-14.  The game ended 64-14 with the entire 2nd in running time.  We surely played a tough physical brand of ball and there was synergy between offense, defense and specials.   The Province posted a great photo on its blog:

Varsity Dawgs Blank Abbey

Dominant Defense!

Light Em Up! 


Our Varisty got off to a slow, penalty and turnover plagued 1st half start leading 16-0 at half.  We cleaned up our game and prevailed 40-0 by game's end which was in mercy time for part of the third and all of the 4th quarter.

Ralley! Relley! Ralley!
 
Defense was our standout crew on Friday.  Not only did we post a shutout, but we did so in dominating physical fashion.  We got a lot of hats to the football and once we read our run keys better, we really shutdown most everything in that phase of the game.

Determined Second Half!

When we finally hit on all cylinders for four quarters, it is going to be a thing of beauty.  For now, it is back to practice to build a better version of ourselves.  We have a big test next Friday against Carson Graham!

Barsby School Spirit  #1!!!!
 

Many thanks to the Barsby Dance Squad and all the parents, staff, alumni and supporters of the program who came out to support their Dawgs!  We Appreciate It!

Finish Strong!

JV's Post First Win of 2012

JV Dawgs Victorious!
 

 
Congratulations to our JV Dawgs on their 28-0 victory vs the visiting GW Graham Grizzlies of Chilliwack.  The game was 8-0 at half-time and close early on in the second half.  We eventually pulled away as relentless defensive pressure and some tough running/blocking bore dividends.  Good job fellas!! 

It is back to work on Friday morning.  6 AM practice!!  Next up for us is a road trip to play the AAA WJ Mouat Hawks of Abbottsford on Wed. 19 September.
