Varsity Season Comes To An End

South Delta Sundevils 27 Varsity Dawgs 12

It was a game where we led for over a half and had our chances to capitalize on great defense and special teams, but ultimately fell short. I alone am responsible for that. There are no fingers to point. The players gave their all, period.

In the big games, great opponents will make you pay for anything less than perfection and this was the case on Saturday at UBC. There was no quit in our guys and all played with passion and desire. No regrets, twas not our day. There was much to be proud of when the final whistle blew.

From here, we all go on to "get better".  One football game does not define who we are as people.  How we respond, how we "bounce" and move forward does in it's way, define us.  The players who participated in this one are winners for even being there!  Our graduating grade 12's have since their freshmen year, played in two BC Semi-Final Games and two BC Championship Games.  Pretty darn impressive when you consider the fact that the vast majority of their gridiron peers across the province do not get to play in even one such meaningful game during their HS career.   The body of work our squad has put forth this year and in year's past is inspiring and I believe a foundation for life success in the years to come. 

Returning players have some big choices to make as to how they are going to approach the coming 2013 season.  Nothing will be handed to you and everything will be earned.  When it comes down to crunch-time on the field, against a quality opponnent, there will be no lies.  You either out-prepared the men across from you or you did not.  Football is an honest game.  Ask the grade 12's how fast it all goes by and how precious every moment you have playing for the Dawgs is.  You will know what to do.

To all who have supported our squad and program this year:

An Immense Thank You!  My appreciation and gratitude are marrow deep.

All Love,

Coach

JV's Lose Tough BC Semi-Final

Mission 19-Barsby 16

In many ways this game was a microcosm of the 2012 JV Season.  We started slow in the first half getting down 13-0 at the break.  An early third quarter Roadrunner punt return widened the gap to 19-0 and then all hec broke loose.  Our JV's responded with a very physical drive along the ground to the end-zone and capped it off with a 2 pt. conversion.  The ensuing short kick was unsuccessful and Mission began with great field position.  Our defense responded by knocking them back to fourth and long and we got the ball back deep in our end of the field.  We drove to mid-field and then qb North Rainey threw a literal bomb just over 40 yards to Cole Smith deep over the middle for the second Barsby score.  Trentyn Anderson pounded the ball in for a 2 pt. conversion and it was 19-6.  The rest of the game was back and forth contest with each team forcing a turnover and having its chances for another score.  The tide was turning in our favor and we simply ran out of time.   Another great Barsby-Mission tilt, hard fought and cleanly played!

The 2012 Barsby JV's have been an inspiration, particularly your faith and resilience in the face of on-field adversity.  This will stand you in good stead when your gridiron days are a pleasant memory of your youth.  What a fine group of young men!  You bring honor to the game and your futures are bright!

Go Dawgs!
