JV Dawgs 8-JV Islanders 6

Battle In The Cage!

 

 

 

 



Defenses and Special Teams took care of all but two points in this week's tilt.  The Islanders opened up with a 55 yard interception touchdown in the first quarter and took the 6-0 lead into the half.  Barsby responded with an electrifying 75 Yard Johnson Nguyen kick-off return to open the second half.  The score was capped off with a three yard run by Justis MacKay-Topley to make the score 8-6 for good.

Barsby defense and special teams were superb.  Offensively, we still struggled by were definitely playing better than we were in week 1.  We will enter practice looking to clean-up our ball handling, penalties and definitely to improve upon our team blocking.

Next-Up are our Arch Rivals, The Ballenas Whalers, Wednesday at 3:01 PM in The Cage.

Go Dawgs!

Varsity Dawgs 61 GW Graham 0

Dawgs Rebound Big!

Our Varsity squad rebounded from a tough loss last week with a total team effort vs GW Graham.  The defense was stellar posting five interceptions and a fumble recovery.  One interception wound up being a 90 yard scoring play as was the fumble recovery in our opponent's end zone.  Offensively, we put up 496 yards via the air and ground. 

A big shout out to our wounded warrior Trentyn Anderson!  We love ya lots and are going to be with you all the way to your return to the field in a few weeks!

Go Dawgs!



JV's Scrap It Up!



Humans fight, gal dang that is a historical fact.  We fight because we are passionate and if another being is passionate about what we want, we get gal dang competitive.  We are what we are.

Valleyview taught us how to compete, within the rules, no excuses required.  Without them, we could not find our best selves.  Thanks guys for the Game!  Awesome Stuff!!


Now it is evidenced that we lost, but hec, we had the good luck today to be around one another and learn lots about getting better! The scoreboard said we lost 20-0 but I think we, coaches included, got to see a way forward from our present state. Excited as hec about getting better next practice!!!

Our JV squad kicks-off its season this Thursday at 3:40 PM vs the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops!  Players and coaches are hyper-excited for this game as it has been a long wait to start playing some ball!

Valleyview will roll in with a large roster in terms of numbers and some big, tough players.  Our Dawgs will surely have their work cut-out for them as they host the "Football Aristocracy" of greater Kamloops.

We are looking for a huge turnout in support of our young fellas come Thursday!  Wear Red and always remember to cheer for our team and not against our visitors.  Without Valleyview, we would not have a game and a way to find the best from within ourselves!

Summer Mental Scratch

"Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can"
Sun Tzu on the importance of preparation...

 

The victorious army

Is victorious first

And seeks battle later

The defeated army

Does battle first

And seeks victory later

 

Ultimate excellence lies

Not in winning

Every battle

But in defeating the enemy

Without ever fighting.

The highest form of warfare

is to attack (the enemy's)

Strategy itself;

The next,

To attack (his)

Alliances.

The next,

To Attack

Armies;

The lowest formof war is

To attack

Cities.

Siege warfare

Is the last resort...

The Skillful Strategist

Defeats the enemy

Without doing battle,

Captures the city

Without laying siege,

Overthrows the enemy state

Without protracted war.

 

Get your scrapbooks out and try to translate this into "football" Dawgs.

Good Luck VI Raiders!

 

Wishing ALL Of The VI Raiders A Terrific 2013 Season!

Spring Ball Finishes Strong!

Teams Play Big At Spring Jamboree

Spring Ball concluded with a Varsity Jamboree on Friday and JV Jamboree on Saturday.  Lots of hard work went into these two games in terms of player and coaching preparation.  The results were on balance, highly positive.  There is always room to "Get Better" but, a solid foundation has been laid headed into Summer Weight-Room and sweat sessions on the field with Nanaimo's favorite tire farm! 

A big thanks you to all the parent and coaching volunteers who helped with the field lining, set-up and take down!  A huge applause to the parents, students, teachers, school administrators and friends of the program who were on hand to cheer the fellas on!

Barsby grade 12's will join a strong contingent of JB alumni at the VI Raider spring camp this weekend as well on Merle Logan Field.    We have a great relationship with the Raiders and are excited as hec for our fellas as they move on to the journey and quest to bring another National Championship home to Nanaimo.

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!
