Curt Fischer Honored for Big WinMaple Grove-Chautauqua Lake Curt Fischer was

named the Buffalo Bills/National Guard Coach of theWeek after his Thunder Dragons beat Randolph 24-12in the season opener.

Randolph had entered the game with a 23-gamewinning streak and was the two-time defending NewYork State Class D champions.

“We really looked at it as a great challenge to openthe season with Randolph,” Fischer said. “They werethe champs and had a winning streak like that. It wasa tremendous challenge.”

Randolph hadbeaten MGCLakethe last 2 years at‘The Ralph’ in theClass D champi-onship game.

But when NYSre-worked theirenrollment num-bers for the 2014season, theThunder Dragonswere moved up toClass C.

“It meant thatwe would be play-ing some differentschools this year,”Fischer said. “Itwas a new start.Sometimeschange gets yougoing again.”

But, whileMGCLake andRandolph wereno longer Divisional rivals, the importance of the gamedid not change.

“Being moved up to Class C didn’t change any-thing,” Fischer said. “It was still a huge game. BeatingRandolph means so much to our kids. Neither teamwants to lose that game.”

At first, it was not clear tha MGCLake would evenget a chance to play Randolph.

“That’s just how the schedule came out,” Fischersaid. “Actually, I think it’s an unwritten rule that weneed to play every year. It’s a good game for the area.We’ve each made each other’s programs strongerover the years.”

The Thunder Dragons led just 8-6 at the half.“We moved the ball early and the defense played

well,” Fischer said. Dustin Graziano and Jed Micek tackled Randolph

QB Bryce Morrison in the end zone for a safety and a2-0 lead.

When the Dragons got the ball back, they drove 65yards for a TD. AJ Hulton capped the drive when hepunched into the end zone from 1 yard out.

Randolph pulled within 8-6 when the Cardinalsintercepted a screen pass and returned it 39 yards fora TD.

Shortly after that, the game was suspended due tolightning.

“I was worried,”Fischer said. “Wehad kids thatwere super high.They had confi-dence but thenwe had to call thegame. But thekids came backthe next day andplayed well.”

MGCLakescored twice inthe third quarterto take a com-manding 24-6lead.

“We startedrunning the balland getting to theedge,” Fischersaid. “The lineand the backsstarted blockingextremely well.”

Ryan Miller powered the MGCLake offense as herushed 26 times for 206 yards and a TD. He alsoadded 111 yards in returns.

Fischer has coached at Maple Grove for 22 years.Since he took the head job in 1993, his teams havewon two NYS titles and 7 Section 6 titles.

He played high school football at Falconer underlegendary coach Bill Race. Race later hired Fischer asa coach on his football staff.

“Played for him and coached under him,” Fischersaid. “Coach Race was a huge mentor in my life.”

Fischer works full time at Cummins Engines inLakewood. He also coaches basketball and girls soft-ball at maple Grove and has coached baseball in thepast.

Bennett used a number of big plays to race pastWilliamsville East 54-6 in the season-opening game.

“I knew we had some kids that had big play ability but Ididn't know we had that many,” coach Steve McDuffie said.“We probably have 10 to 15 kids that have big-play ability.”

McDuffie’s Tigers simply flattened their opponent, whohappens to be coached by his brother, Chris.

“I feel terrible about beating my own brother like that,”McDuffie said. “I gave my brother a hug and kiss after thegame. I love my brother and I didn’t want to embarrass his

team. But we wereable to play our 2ndand 3rd team for thewhole 4th quarter.”

Bennett led 24-0at the half when thegame was sus-pended due to light-ning. The teamshad to return thefollowing night tofinish the game.

“I was worriedabout that,”McDuffie said. “Mybrother is a goodcoach and he had alot of time to makeadjustments. I hadto go home andwatch film.”

Bennett scored20 points in the thirdquarter to take acommanding lead.

“It was a competitive game until late in the third quarter,”McDuffie said. “We started to get big plays.”

One player who will play a big role for Bennett this sea-son is Bennett senior Alexander Lofton.

“He is so special because is a game-breaker in everyphase of the game,” McDuffie said. “On offense, defense andspecial teams, he can score every time he has the ball.”

Lofton caught 4 passes for 69 yards in the win overWilliamsville East.

“He had two kickoff returns for 80 yards each,” McDuffiesaid, “and both of them were called back by penalty.”

Lofton, who has an academic average of 90, was nameda team captain.

“He has enough credits to graduate right now,” McDuffiesaid. “He is one of five seniors on the team and he is agreat leader and a great student-athlete.”

Lofton also starts for the Bennett basketball team.“He mentors the Little Loop players in the summer,”

McDuffie said. “He’s a role model on the team, in schooland in the community.”

By Mark AdairWilliamsville South overcame an early 14-point deficit and a

suspension of play to come back and beat Kenmore West 24-21

last weekend.

“We over came some adversity,” Williamsville South coach

Kraig Kurzanski said. “We didn’t play well early but we fought

hard over both nights and were

able to catch them in the end.”

Ben Neuss kicked a 32-yard

FG as time expired for the win-

ning points.

“I was confident when we

sent him in there,” Kurzanski

said. “He’s a good kicker.”

The Billies trailed 21-7 with

4:51 left in the first quarter.

“I thought our kids were a

little tight,” Kurzanski said.

“We made some mistakes early

on and Kenmore West took full

advantage of them.”

South began to settle in dur-

ing the second quarter. The

Billies scored with 5 minutes

left in the first half to pull with-

in 21-14.

With 2:15 left in the second

quarter, the game was halted as

lightning began to flash.

“We were just starting to

roll,” Kurzanski said. “We got

everyone to the locker room to

wait for the 30 minutes so we

could start playing again. But,

after a little while, it was obvi-

ous it was going to be a lot

longer than 30 minutes so the

officials called it off.”

At first, Kurzanski was dis-

mayed that the game had been

halted - just as his team had began to get on a roll.

“But, there wasn’t anything we could do about it,” he said.

“Normally we make some adjustments at halftime but this time

we had a 22-hour halftime to make adjustments. We went home

and watched some film of the game. It’s not very often we get a

chance to watch film at halftime.”

First, however, Kurzanski had his team’s trainer talk with his

players.

“We had them stretching in the gym,” he said. “The trainer

talked with them about getting enough sleep, about what the

could eat on Saturday morning, about proper hydration. It was

really hot Friday night and we were worried about kids getting

dehydrated and cramping up the next day.”

Kurzanski also wondered about his players losing focus but it

turned out that he didn’t have to worry.

“They came back excited and ready to play,” he said. “It was

a hard-hitting game and the energy level was just as high on

Saturday as it was on Friday. It was for both teams. Ultimately,

our kids were ready to play and did really well.”

Kurzanski also said that the referees in Western New York

should come in for some kudos.

“The officials should get a lot of credit,” he said. “Some of

those guys ended up having to work three games on Saturday.

The only reason we got all the

games in was because they were

willing to help out with the situ-

ation. All the refs should get a

ton of credit.”

If Williamsville South is

going to contend for the Class A

championship this fall, they will

need a big season from lunior

lineman Jake Fuzak.

“Jake never played JV foot-

ball,” Kurzanski said. “He went

right from modified to the varsi-

ty. He’s the first freshman ever

to play for me. We thought he

was good enough to play.”

Kurzanski did talk with

Fuzak’s aprents before officially

placing him on the varsity roster.

“We communicated with the

parents what our goals were for

Jake,” Kurzanski said. “He was

14 years old, playing against 18

year old kids. I was more wor-

ried about the social aspect of it

rather than the physical aspect.

Whenever you bring a kid up

like that, he’s not with his own

friends. We didn’t want him to

have a miserable experience.”

Fuzak (6-5, 278) started at

linebacker as a freshman.

“He started out a linebacker,”

Kurzanski said, “but he kept

growing so now he’s on our lines.”

Fuzak, who also plays hockey for Williamsville South, is

more athletic than most kids his size.

“He runs a 40-yard dash in under 5 seconds,” Kurzanski said,

“which is fantastic for a high school kid his size. He also went

to U.S. Football National Development Game and was one of 90

kids in the nation to play in that game and he had three sacks.”

The University at Buffalo has already offered Fuzak a foot-

ball scholarship.

“He’ll have more coming,” Kurzanski said. “He’s an excel-

lent student. He has a 93 academic average so he won’t have

any problems there.”

Fuzak was also named a team captain before the season.

“He’s very outgoing and he’s mature beyond his years,”

Kuzanski said. “He cares about others more than himself. He is

a great football player and a great leader. The first time you

meet him, you are impressed.”

Williamsville South junior Jake Fuzak has started forthe Billies since he was a freshman. Fuzak hasalready been offered a scholarship by the UB Bulls.

Kenmore West lost to Williamsville

South 24-21 last week when the Billies

kicked a 27-yard field goal as time

expired.

“It was a great game,” Kenmore West

coach Rich Harris

said. “Either team

could have won.”

The game was

played over two

days. With

Kenmore West

leading 21-14 and

just over 2 minutes

to play in the first

half, the game was

halted due to light-

ning.

“You could see

it off in the dis-

tance,” Harris said.

“We needed to get

the fans, cheerlead-

ers and players off

the field and inside.

They called it off

about 9:15.”

Harris said that

despite the “split”

game, his players did not seemed affected.

“The kids came in the morning and we

had a quick film session,” he said. “When

we got back to the field, we did play better.

Unfortunately, we didn’t score any points.”

Harris said the unusual circumstances

were difficult to deal with.

“It was like playing 2 games, especial-

ly if you were traveling like we were,” he

said.

The Blue Devils have a very young

roster this season.

“We graduated

our whole offensive

line,” he said, “We

are very young and

that led to us mak-

ing mistakes and not

finishing drives.”

If the Blue

Devils are going to

compete for the AA

North title, they will

be relying on senior

WR Trent White.

“He played some

as a freshman,”

Harris said. “We

were thin at the skill

positions that year.

He started for us as

a sophomore.”

White (6-3, 190)

also starts at CB.

“He’s big and

he’s fast,” harris

said. “He threw a sweep pass for a TD on

the first play of the game. He also caught

a fade pass for another touchdown.”

White is a team captain.

“I need him to pull the team together

right now,” Harris said. “He’s a quiet kid

and leads by example.”

After jumping out to a 14-0 lead,

Jamestown fell behind 21-14 in the 4th

quarter but rallied for a 35-28 win over

Sweet Home in the season opener.

“We lost our rhythm offensively,”

coach Tom

Langworthy said.

“We got in a little

rut and turned the

ball over.”

Sweet Home

took the lead when

Jamestown lost a

fumble in the end

zone, resulting in a

Panthers TD.

“Turnovers are a

huge part of the

game,” Langworthy

said. “We want to

make sure that we

protect the football.”

The Raiders

actually coughed

up 5 turnovers.

“The good news

is that we threw 5

TD passes,”

Langworthy said.

“We made a lot of mistakes yesterday.

Luckily, they were all correctable. This is

the first week and it’s not unusual to

make a ton of mistakes in the first game

of the season.

Langworthy was proud that the

Raiders gave Sweet Home its first home

loss since 2006.

“Playing against teams like Sweet

Home will pay dividends down the road,”

he said. “I’m pretty prioud that we could

go into Sweet Home and come out with a

win. Not many

teams do.”

If the Red

Raiders are going to

repeat as class AA

champions this fall,

they will need a big

year from senior

DE Kevin Mosely.

“He’s an intelli-

gent player and he

has a nose for the

ball,” Langworthy

said. “He’ll get to

the ball carrier and

make plays.”

Mosely started

the 2013 season at

LB before moving

to the DE spot.

“He was giving

our offensive line

fits in practice,”

Langworthy said.

“We moved him to defensive end and he

had a big game at The Ralph.”

Mosely led the team in tackles in 2013.

“We look for him to make plays

against the run and the pass,” Langworthy

said. “He can dip his shoulder and get the

the quarterback.”

Starpoint led Kenmore East 20-6 at the

half but committed two turnovers that led

to a pair of TDs for the Bulldogs.

Kenmore East tied the game at 20-20 with

2:15 left in the game.

“We had a cou-

ple of chances to

put them away,”

coach AlCavagnaro

said, “and the

turnovers stopped

us and let them

back in the game.

Give Kenmore East

credit. They didn’t

give up.”

Starpoint won

26-20 in overtime.

After stopping

Kenmore East on 4

plays, Starpoint

took over. On the

second play from

scrimmage, Terry

Rutland raced 23

yards for a TD to

win the game.

“I thought we

were in good

shape,” Cavagnaro said. “We just stopped

ourselves. I was confident in the kids

when we went into overtime.”

If the Spartans are going to contend

for the A North title this season, they will

need a big year from senior Mike Chase.

“He’s not exactly hot huge,”

Cavagnaro said. “He’s 5-10 and 165

pounds soaking wet. But Mike is very

smart, very football saavy and strong.”

Chase is in his third season as a starter

at WR and CB.

“When we are

on defense, we

always put him on

the other teams best

receiver,”

Cavagnaro said.

“He watches so

much film that he

always knows

exactly what that

kid is going to do.”

In last week’s

win, Chase caught

3 passes for 55

yards, including a

37-yard TD pass.

Chase is a team

captain for the

Spartans.

“He is a hard

worker,” Cavagnaro

said. “For three

years now, he’s

been the first one in

the weight room and the last one out.”

Chase also has an academic average in

the mid-90s.

“He’s always positive and willing to

help out the younger kids,” Cavagnaro

said. “He never says anything bad about

anyone and is very positive kid.

West Seneca East won a thriller over

Iroquois 12-7 last weekend. The Trojans

were leading 6-0 at the half when the

game was suspended by lightning.

“It was pretty strange to be leaving at

halftime,” coach

Jim Maurino said.

“That is something

that you can’t pre-

pare for. You never

expect it to happen

and it probably

won’t happen again

for a long time.”

Maurino said

that the lightning

storm did provide

an unusual oppor-

tunity.

“It was a chance

to watch some film

and game plan at

halftime,” he said.

Maurino also

worried that his

players would lose

their edge when

they returned the

following day.

“I thought the kids handled it pretty

well,” he said. “I thought both teams did.

It was an intense game on Friday night

and it carried over that way to Saturday.”

The Trojans earned a divisional win

when Iroquois’ last pass to the end zone

on the final play of the game was ruled

incomplete.

“It’s huge to get a division win,”

Maurino said. “To have a bunch of new

guys come together and go through that

and still come out with a win really helps

us out.”

If the Trojans

are going to con-

tend for the A

South Division title,

they will need a big

season from senior

Tyler Skretny.

“He’s tough,”

Maurino said, “and

he has an absolutely

crazy motor. He

just does not stop

playing hard.”

Skretny, a team

captain, will play

WR, RB, LB and

also serves as East’s

long snapper.

“He does not

come off the field

much,” Maurino

said. “He never

asks to come out.

He will go 100 percent on every play.”

In the win over Iroquois, Skretny

made 10 tackles and caused a fumble. He

is also an outstanding student.

“It helps to have your middle line-

backer be a top ten student,” Maurino said.

“He remembers everything out there.”

Albion trailed 26-0 at the half and

staged a furious second-half rally but lost

to Burgard 26-20 last week.

“We made some mistakes in the first

half,” coach Gary Parisi said. “Burgard is

a very good foot-

ball team and they

capitalized on our

mistakes.”

After failing to

score in the first

two quarters, the

Purple Eagles

regrouped.

“We just made

some adjustments,”

Parisi said. “The

coaching staff did a

great job. We got

the kids to settle

down a little bit

and we just came

out and played.”

QB Kyle Smith

hit Trey Hart with

scoring passes of

31 and 26 yards to

pull Albion within

26-12 entering the

final quarter. Smith connected with Austin

Loyd on a 33-yard scoring toss. When he

tossed the 2-point PAT to Hart, the eagles

were back in the game, trailing by six

points.

On each of the scoring plays, the

Albion wide receiver was wide open.

“We saw something in the secondary

that we wanted to exploit,” Parisi said.

“and the kids did a great job of execut-

ing.”

If Albion is going to rebound from the

opening loss and

make the Class B

playoffs, they will

need a big year

from Hart, who

caught the first two

TD passes.

“He has very

good football

sense,” parisi said.

“He practices hard,

plays hard and stud-

ies the game.”

Hart (5-11, 170)

also starts at LB.

“He’s very

strong,” Parisi said.

“He only weighs

170 but it’s all mus-

cle.”

Hart, who has

started on the varsi-

ty since he was a

freshman, has also

started in CF for the Albion baseball team

since his freshman year.

“He is a great athlete,” parisi said.

“Not too many kids have played 4-years

of varsity in two sports. He’s very funny

and a happy kid. He goes through the day

with smile on his face.”

Be Sure to attend the 2013

Amherst beat East Aurora 15-7 last

week despite the fact that they did not

score an offensive TD.

Sophomore kicker Blake Haubeil

kicked 3 FGs, including a school-record

49-yarder to pro-

vide the bulk of the

scoring. The Tigers

score their lone TD

when Howard

Williams returned

an interception 21

yards for the score.

“Defense and

special teams was

the story of the

game,” coach Jason

Beckman said. “We

moved the ball but

we couldn’t finish

the drives. We had

2 touchdowns

called back on

penalties. We had a

couple of other dri-

ves that we ended

up not converting

on 3rd down.”

The Tigers

defense was solid as they forced 6

turnovers.

“To get 6 turnovers and keep them in

check most of the night, I thought we did

a great job,” Beckman said. “We put them

into situations where they had to throw

and then executed on defense.”

If Amherst is going to contend for the

B Central Division title this season, the

Tigers will be relying on senior Bryon

Fowler, a 3-year starter on the lines.

“We didn’t name season captains,”

Beckman said, “but

he was the game

captain based on his

off-season work

ethic and his leader-

ship.”

Fowler starts at

LT on offense and

can create havoc at

his DE spot.

“He had some

outstanding blocks

against East

Aurora,” Beckman

said. “He is so ath-

letic and he runs so

well that we

thought about mov-

ing him to tight

end.”

Fowler (6-4,

235) was second on

the Tigers with 62

tackles in 2013. He

also had 3 QB sacks.

“He’s football smart,” Beckman said.

“He’s a hard worker and has great hands.”

Fowler also plays basketball and

lacrosse for Amherst.

“He’s a good student,” Beckman said.

“The other kids all follow his example.”

East Aurora suffered a tough 15-7 loss

to Amherst in the season opener. The Blue

Devils defense did not surrender a TD in

the loss.

“That was very frustrating,” coach Tim

Wade said. “I am

absolutely pleased

with the defense.

The defense played

very well.”

Wade says that

much of the sput-

tering on offense is

normal early in the

season.

“The defense is

always ahead of

the offense,” Wade

said. “We had a lot

of first-year players

and it takes a while

to gel a bit. We just

have to clean up

some mistakes.”

East Aurora

trailed 15-0 when

the game was sus-

pended with just

under 8 minutes to

play due to lightning. The Devils returned

on Saturday to finish the game.

“I told them when we got back that the

plan was to score on the first play,” Wade

said, “and we did.”

Connor Hayes hit Clay Lewis with a

30-yard TD pass to pull the Devils within

within 15-7 but the Devils could not score

again.

“The kids knew when we walked away

that we have to come to play like that

every week,” Wade said.

East Aurora will

get a big boost from

Lewis, a senior

playing his first

year of football.

“He’s a fantastic

soccer player at

Holland,” Wade

said. “He’s been

playing varsity

since the 8th grade.

He just decided to

play football this

year.”

Lewis is one of

the area’s best bas-

ketball players.

“Clay is a very

gifted athlete,”

Wade said. “He

earned a starting

position in camp.

The first time in

pads he got the ball,

ran over a kid and went 80 yards.”

Lewis (5-11, 180) has been timed at

4.6 in the 40-yard dash.

“He’s fast and strong,” Wade said.

“and he’s athletic. He can dunk a basket-

ball. He just out-jumped everybody when

he caught the touchdown pass.”

Silver Creek opened the season with a

28-0 win over Allegany-Limestone,

despite missing star RB Sherman

Williams, who was not cleared medically

in time to play.

“I really

enjoyed that

game,” coach Sean

Helmer said. “Our

defense played out-

standing. Those

kids just played a

great game.”

Helmer says he

was pleased that

other players

stepped up in

Williams absence.

“It means the

kids bought into

what we were ask-

ing them to do,”

Helmer said. “Our

depth showed. We

had a bunch of

guys come in and

relieve starters early

in the game and

they played well.”

The game was suspended at the half due

to lightning with the Knights leading 14-0.

“I was absolutely worried about hav-

ing to come back a second day,” Helmer

said. “We’re dealing with kids. It usually

it takes a couple of days to recover from a

game but we had to come back and play

the next day. We talked to them about get-

ting the right amount of sleep, what to

drink. But our kids were pretty focused.”

If Silver Creek is going to contend for

the C North title, they will need a big year

from senior captain

Dylan Robinson.

“He’s an out-

standing center and

that’s the heart of

the offensive line,”

Helmer said. “He

understands defen-

sive schemes better

than any lineman I

have been around.”

Robinson (6-2,

220) was a first-

team all-star at OL

in 2013.

“He’s big but

he’s very athletic,”

Helmer said. “He

could be a tight

end. He under-

stands what the

defense is trying to

do and that’s a huge

advantage in high

school.”

Robinson, a Forestville student, was

voted a team captain by his teammates.

“The kids like him but they also

respect him,” Helmer said. “He communi-

cates well in the trenches and that’s

incredibly important.”

Southwestern fired up the offense and

scored 4 times in the second half to beat

Gowanda 36-21 in the season opener.

The game was halted at the half with

the Trojans clinging to a 14-13 lead. The

teams returned to

the field on

Saturday night to

finish the game.

“The time off

was good for us,”

coach Jay Sirianni

said. “Not only

could we make

adjustments, but

our players were

very nervous on

Friday night. On

Saturday, it seemed

like they were more

at ease and less up-

tight.”

The Trojans led

21-13 after the third

quarter and pulled

away in the final

frame.

“We were able

to move the ball on

offense more efficiently on Saturday,”

Sirianni said. “Our defense also made

stops the second night.”

QB Noah Weinstein completed 7 of 13

passes for 132 yards in the win. He tossed

TD passes of 20 and 31 yards t Mike

Pannes.

“This is only Noah's third year of foot-

ball,” Sirianni said. “He was a hockey

player as a kid and decided to try football

when he was a sophomore.”

Weinstein also scored a TD when he

snuck in from a

yard out.

“He is such a

good athlete,”

Sirianni said. “He

played varsity foot-

ball as a sophomore

and it was just his

first year of foot-

ball.”

Weinstein started

at WR that season.

“He played

receiver and defen-

sive back but started

playing quarterback

during the end of

the year,” Sirianni

said.

Weinstein is an

outstanding student.

“He’s a member

of the National

Honor Society,”

Sirianni said, “He takes several AP classes.”

Weinstein also plays baseball at

Southwestern.

“Noah is an all-league catcher for the

baseball team,” Sirianni said. “He is also

going to play basketball this year for the

first time.”

Catt-Little Valley overcame a 26-7

deficit, an emotional evening and a sus-

pended game to beat Westfield 27-26.

“It was a pretty weird evening,” Catt-

LV coach Tim Miller said. “I don’t think

I’ve ever had a

game like that.”

The T-wolves

trailed 19-7 when

the game was sus-

pended due to

lightning.”

“As poorly as

we started, we

were still moving

the ball,” Miller

said. “We had

turnovers and

penalties that

stopped two drives

inside their 10.”

When the game

resumed on

Saturday, Westfield

kicked off to start

the 2nd half. As the

CLV returner was

fighting for extra

yardage, the ball

was stripped and returned for a TD and

CLV trailed 26-7.

“Our kids weren’t down,” Miller said.

“They still hadn’t stopped us.”

The Timberwolves began a methodical

comeback and pulled to within 26-20 in

the 4th quarter. They scored the tying TD

with less than 2 minutes to play. Jenna

Martin kicked the game winning PAT.

“Once we eliminated the mistakes, we

played pretty well,” Miller said.

If Cattaraugus is going to contend for

the Class D title

this season, they

will be relying on a

solid year from QB

Kyle O’Donnell.

“Kyle is a bat-

tler,” Miller said.

“He’s just a hard

working kid who

has a football mind.”

O’Donnell

rushed 13 times for

56 yards and a TD.

“He’s not the

fastest kid or the

strongest in the

weight room,”

Miller said, “but

he’s the hardest

working and he just

never gives up.”

O’Donnell, a

junior, started at QB

as a sophomore.

“He had to go through some growing

pains,” Miller said, “but that experience is

invaluable to us now.”

O’Donnell is an outstanding student.

“He’s not a star,” Miller said, “but he

fits well with our team. He works hard

and answers the bell every time.”

Cardinal O’Hara opened the season

with a 28-6 win over Nichols last week.

The Hawks led 14-0 at the half despite

being dominated in Time of Possession.

“Nichols kept the football away from

us,” coach Angelo

Sciandra said.

“They run the dou-

ble-wing and do a

great job with it.”

The Hawks

recovered a fumble

to set up one TD.

They scored again

on a long pass play

in the second quar-

ter.

“We had 2 big

plays but we made

the most of it,”

Sciandra said. “We

had a goal-line

stand that turned

out to be huge.”

Sciandra says

that his team will

rely on the leader-

ship of a veteran

line this season.

“Our skill kids are all younger,”

Sciandra said. “Our linemen are all

seniors. Overall, I was pretty pleased with

what we did because that’s a pretty good

Nichols team.”

Sciandra says he is enjoying the early

part of the season.

“We have good kids with good atti-

tudes,’ he said. “These guys are pretty

focused and there isn’t a lot of nonsense

to deal with.”

They Hawks will be relying on a solid

season from senior

captain Mike

Spagna this fall.

“He’s been play-

ing on the varsity

for 4 years now,”

Sciandra said.

“He’s been a cap-

tain for 2 years.”

Spagna starts at

both G and DT.

“He does a lot of

trapping for us,’

Sciandra said.

“He’s quick so we

do a lot of pulling

with him.”

Spagna (5-10,

215) is one of the

stronger players on

the team.

“He benches

over 300 pounds,”

Sciandra said.

Spagna is an outstanding student and

maintains an academic average in the 90s.

“He’s a great leader,” Sciandra said.

“He’s a tremendous, high-character kid.

He’s one of the school leaders involved

with Student Government and works with

some charity stuff. He’s just a great kid.”

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.

Love Never Fails! Coach Masters

The Heart of a Champion Character Playbook theme is

Big Time In BuffaloBy Mark Adair

Canisius opened theseason with a big 48-3win over McQuaid lastweekend. The Crusadersled 28-3 at the half andscored two more TDsearly in the third quarterto put the game out ofreach.

“It was nice,” coachRich Robbins said. “Inthe 4th quarter we wereable to give everybodyan opportunity to play.”

Robbins said that giv-ing his younger playersin-game experience willbe crucial in the comingweeks.

“With our schedule,we don’t get too manychances to get the youngguys in and get qualitytime,” he said. “It wasnice for them, after work-ing so hard in practiceand on the scout team, toget them some qualityplaying time.”

Despite the lopsidedscore, Robbins said thatthe Crusaders beat agood team.

“McQuaid was rankedin the Top Ten in theRochester Democrat &Chronicle,” he said. “I think they have a good team andwill have a good season. But our kids were ready to play.We jumped on them early and did not look back.”

Canisius did not play a perfect game, Robbins said.“We had some penalties,” he said. “We had some

screw-ups with substitutions, some offsides. We hadsome kids forget to go out for an extra point. That’s just‘details stuff’ that is normal for the first game. It wasn’teven that much of an issue but we want to clean it up.”

The Crusaders started fast as Josh Huffman returnedthe opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown.

“There is not a better way to start the season thanthat,” Robbins said. “That was a statement right there.”

Canisius led 7-0 after one quarter and exploded for 3

TDs in the second frameto take a 28-3 lead atthe half.

QB Jakob Louckscompleted 11 of 16passes for 166 yardsand 2 TDs to lead theoffense. Canisius alsorushed for 164 yards asnine different playerscarried the ball.

“We did pretty muchwhat we wanted to do,”Robbins said. “The kidsplayed really well.”

Now Canisius willplay the most anticipatedgame of the seasonwhen Aquinas comes toBuffalo.

The Little Irish areranked #1 in New YorkState while Canisius isranked #3. Last season,Aquinas beat Canisius3-0 in a monsoon-likerainstorm that hamperedboth offenses.

“I’m sure our kidsremember it in the backof their minds,” Robbinssaid. “But this year’steam is not last year’steam. Aquinas has anew team, too. I justknow it’s going to be a

great football game.”Both Aquinas and Canisius will have players in the

game that are among the most heavily-recruited highschool players in the nation.

Aquinas QB Jake Zembiec (6-3, 205) is ranked in thetop five of all high school quarterbacks across the coun-try. He is also ranked as one of the top 10 Dropback QBsin the nation.

“No doubt that kid is something special,” Robbins said.“But we think we have some pretty special kids on oursideline, too.”

Canisius has TJ Wheatley, the son of former Michiganstar Tyrone Wheatley, who is now on Doug Marrone’s

Canisius senior TJ Wheatley is one of the top high school recruitsin the nation. He will lead the Crusaders against Aquinas thisSaturday. Aquinas is currently ranked 49th in the nation.

staff with the Buffalo Bills.“When Coach Wheatley got the job with the Bills, the

family started looking at a lot of different schools inWestern New York,” Robbins said. “When we got the callthat TJ would be coming to our school, we were excited.Not just because he is a great football player but becausethey are really good people, too. They are a great family tohave in our program.”

Wheatley, a 6-7, 260-pound senior, starts at DE and TEfor the Crusaders. He is also one of the biggest of the big-time recruits to ever play in Western New York.

“He has scholarship offers from LSU, Oregon, Alabama,Florida State, Michigan, USC and UCLA,” Robbins said.“The list goes on and on. The only two schools that wereabsolutely out for him were Ohio State and Michigan State.I think with his family situation, neither one of those twoschools were an option for him.”

Robbins has heard from almost every big-name collegecoach in the country, regarding Wheatley.

“I’m not going to lie,” Robbins said, “when Brady Hokeor Brian Kelly calls it’s great to talk with them. You can geta little start struck. But I love talking with Mike Cragg atHobart and Paul Vosburgh at St. John Fisher, too. Theyare great guys and great coaches. And, honestly, we’llhave a lot more guys play at those schools than Michigan.”

Robbins says that despite the fact that Wheatley isgoing to play at a big-time football school, you would neverknow it when talking to him.

“The nice thing about TJ is that even though he is a big-time recruit, his main focus is helping us win games,”Robbins said. “He is a humble kid.”

He has never, once, ‘big-timed’ anyone, Robbins says.“Yes, he’s a big-time recruit,” the coach said, “but he

just came in here, worked hard and did what we asked himto do. He’s been a great kid to have in the program.Mostly, he’s excited about getting a chance to win a statechampionship this year.”

Yes... a state championship. In 2013, Zembiec led Aquinas to the New York State

Class AA championship. The Little Irish, in fact, claimedthe state title by winning a tournament that Canisius is notallowed to play in.

However... this season, for the first time, the Msgr.Martin champion will have an opportunity to play for a NYSCatholic Championship.

The Msgr. Martin Association has entered into an agree-ment with the NYC-based CHSFL that will have the cham-pions of each league meet a week later to play for the NewYork State Catholic championship. Organizers are hopingto play that game in Yankee Stadium but the details havenot been finalized yet.

“It will be nice for both leagues to have their championget another game and maybe be able to call themselvesState Champs,” Robbins said. “Our whole team is excitedabout getting an opportunity to do that. We still have a lotof football to play before we get to that point but it’s beenour focus to get to that point.”

By Mark AdairNationally-ranked St. John Fisher College scored the

game's final 22 points to earn a 36-14 win over visitingOtterbein University in the Division III football season open-er for both teams.

Fisher, ranked No. 9in the D3football.compreseason poll, seniorquarterback Tyler Fenticompleted 22-of-33passes for 296 yardsand 4 TDs., Senior WRNathan Nigolian scored2 TDs and finished with8 catches for 148 yards.

“We need to get backand do some things a lit-tle bit better,” Fishercoach Paul Vosburghsaid. “We weren’t awaystechnically sound. Butwhen adversity struck,our guys stood up to itand responded.”

After forcingOtterbein to go three-and-out in the game'sopening drive, Fishermarched 54 yards onjust three plays for thegame’s first score.

“When we scored injust three plays, itlooked pretty easy,”Vosburgh said. “ButOtterbein is a prettygood program. Theyfought back and it wasn’t until the third quarter that wecould get the game in hand.”

St. John Fisher has been to the post-season for 11straight seasons, five times making the NCAA Playoffs.

“We are the winning-est team in the East in the last 11years,” Vosburgh said. “Nationally, we are in the top ten inwins over the last 11 years.”

Vosburgh says that staying on top will be difficult.“Our league is so tough,” he said. “This past weekend,

the Empire 8 went 8-0. Every team in our conference wona non-league game. That speaks well of our conference.”

with the recent additions of Buffalo State and Brockport,along with next year’s additions of Cortland State andMorrisville State, the conference has been measurablystrengthened.”

“It’s tough every year now,” Vosburgh said. “There is noeasy weekend. You better be ready to play or you will lose.”

Fisher has an open date on the schedule this weekbefore playing the annual Courage Bowl game withBrockport State.

“It’s a conference game for both of us now,” Vosburghsaid. “It’s exciting. I think the fact we have the Stateschools coming into our league is good for college footballand good for New York State. Fans don’t have to go veryfar to see great football.”

If the Cardinals aregoing to repeat asEmpire 8 champions,they will be relying heavi-ly on senior safety PaulLeavell, an Orchard Parkgrad.

“Paul is the third of hisbrothers to play for us,”Vosburgh said. “Mike andJoe were both solid play-ers for our program.”

Vosburgh recruitedLeavell heavily as he wasfinishing his high schoolcareer at Orchard Park.

“You could see that hewas an outstanding foot-ball player and a verygood overall athlete.”

Leavell did not imme-diately break into theFisher lineup. In fact, thisis the first year as a full-time starter.

“When we recruit kids,we tell them that it’s noteasy to start here, espe-cially as a freshman,”Vosburgh said. “Paulworked his way up. Lastyear, he was behind a

senior who was also in his first year as a starter. Paul did agreat job on special teams.”

Leavell will have full responsibility to make sure theCardinals defense is in the proper formation on every play.

“As our free safety, he is the quarterback of thedefense,” Vosburgh said. “He sets our defense and gets uslined up in the proper alignment. He has to see the offen-sive formations and then make the call to get us in the rightspots. If he makes the wrong call, he misdirects the wholedefense.”

Leavell was in on 7 tackles, 4 solo, in the win overOtterbein.

“He is playing very well right now,” Vosburgh said. “He’sa competitor and he is doing a great job.”

Leavell is also solid in the class room. “He’s a very good student,” Vosburgh said. “He has

great grades and does a great job with his academics. Hedid in high school. He’s a little quiet but he does run theshow out on the field. We hoping that he progresses intobeing an All-Conference performer this season.”

Buffalo State opened the season witha wild 51-48 overtime win over CortlandState last weekend.

“I have been coaching for a whilenow and have never had a finish likethat,” Buff State coach Jerry Boyes said.“We were up thecreek, we didn’thave an oar andthe current wasagainst us.”

With just :06left, the Bengalstrailed 48-45 andCortland had theball on Buff State’s48-yard line, facinga 4th down. TheRed Dragons sentthe punting unit onto the field.

“We just senteveryone after thepunter,” Boyessaid. “We thoughthe was just goingto run around andtry to kill the clock.”

Instead, withmost of theBengals defensechasing him, the Cortland punter did ahook slide with :01 still on the clock.

“They lost 20 yards on the play,”Boyes said. “That gave us the ball at the32-yard line. It gave us a chance for one

more play.”Boyes sent in the field goal unit and

St. Joe’s grad Marc Montana nailed aschool-record 49-yard FG to send thegame into OT.

“I knew Marc had the leg,” Boyessaid. “He alsodoes the kickoffsfor us.”

In the OT ses-sion, Buff Stateintercepted aCortland passbefore Montanatrotted onto thefield again. Henailed a 34-yarderto win the game.

“Sometimesyou are good andsometimes youare lucky,” Boyessaid. “I think wegot a little lucky.”

Montana fin-ished 3-for-4 onFGs and was 6-for-6 on PATs. Hetransferred toBuffalo Statebefore this season.

“He wanted to go somewhere that hecould make a difference,” Boyes said.“Thank goodness that Buffalo State is inhis hometown because he sure made adifference already.”

Well... THAT was certainly interesting.When teams kicked off the 2014 season last Friday, lit-

tle did anyone know that this was going to turn into oneof the most memorable Opening Nights to a football sea-son in WNY history.

Things started normally, when East Aurora andAmherst started their game at 6pm. Most games beganat 7:00 pm without a hint of trouble.

By 7:45, a lightning storm had move into the area forc-ing teams to get off the field. Many began the 30-minutewaiting period but it quicklybecame clear that this stormwas much bigger than initiallyforecast.

Ironically, earlier that day,Section 6 Chairman KenStoldt thought there might bea small problem.

“I saw the weather reportand it didn’t look good,” hesaid. “I sent an email out to allthe Athletic Directors to beprepared if their game had tobe postponed or suspended. We had to keep in mindthat, if we had some suspensions, that there needs to bea minimum of four days rest between games. I thoughtwe might have 2 or 3 games in that situation.”

While Stoldt was in attendance at the Depew at Aldengame, lightning flashed, and the game was stopped.

“I got 2 or 3 calls that games were being suspended,”he said, “and then my phone just blew up. I knew thatthis wasn’t good.”

It was obvious, from all the red on the radar reports,that this storm was far bigger than initially forecast.Lightning strikes were everywhere an the storm stretchedfrom Rochester to the middle of Michigan.

“I was not expecting to have 19 games suspended,”Stoldt said. “I went home. Thankfully, I live a block away.”

When he arrived at his house a few minutes later,there were more than 30 phone messages, emails andtexts waiting for him.

“I knew it was going to be a long night,” Stoldt said. “I juststarted calling people. I had my cell phone going, my homephone going, I was getting texts... I felt like a bookie.”

Finishing the games on Saturday wasn’t the problem.“We knew we could play the next day,” Stoldt said,

“but everyone wanted to play at 2 o’clock. That just was-n’t possible. We didn’t have enough officials to play everysingle game at 2 o’clock.”

Stoldt then got on the phone with Dan Finucane, whoschedules the officials for Western New York. He alsohad to consult with Al Feser, who does the same job forofficials in the Southern Tier.

“We were all awake until after one in the morning,”Stoldt said. “We had to make sure that some of the offi-cials could get from one game to the games that weresuspended. Dan and Al really came through for us. Theydid an amazing job.”

All the games that were suspended Friday night,would have to replayed no earlier than 6pm Saturday.And, still, it wasn’t as simple as re-scheduling the footballgames.

“Some of the fields had soccer games scheduled for7pm Saturday night,” Stoldt said. “So we had to workaround other sports, too.”

It was obvious that some ofthe area’s referees were goingto put some serious miles ontheir cars on Saturday.

“Honestly, the officials as agroup really came through bigtime,” Stoldt said. “We hadsome guys that had to ref a2pm game in Newfane, thendrive to West Seneca East tofinish a suspended game,before going back home toLockport.”

Even the WNY coaches, notoriously uptight aboutstaying on schedule, were all on board with the plan.

“The coaches were all great about it,” Stoldt said. “Wehad a lot of people in the same boat. They understoodthis was bigger than we planned.”

Amazingly, every game was completed. The final con-test was finished Monday night when McKinley beat EastHigh at Riverside Field.

“I was just panic stricken that we had missed a game,”Stoldt said. “I just knew that we would have a gamescheduled and no referees show up. But, in the end, thatdidn’t happen. Every game got played and the officials allgot to their games. Everyone came through.”

Stoldt said he has thought about coming up with anemergency plan in case of a re-occurrence of somethingthis big.

“There is no way to really plan for this because youdon’t know how many schools will be affected,” he said.“Next time, it might be one or two games.”

All in all, it turned out as best that could be hoped for.It certainly was memorable.

“It was a great way to kick off the season,” he said.“We got through it and now we are on to Week 2.”

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
