Subway Bowl!

Dawgs Shine in BC Championship Games!





Congratulations to the 2011 AA JV BC Champions our very own JV Dawgs!  Our JV's won a heart -stopping game vs arch-rival Mission by a score of 22-20.  Well Done Fellas!  Your hard work and persistence is an inspiration and sets the bar for Barsby squads in the seasons to come!







A huge congratulations to our 2011 Varsity on their terrific season!  We came up four points short in our 16-12 Championship Game loss, but that does not take any lustre or credit off of a superb season and 23-1 two-year record since September 2010.  We fought like Lions and "left it all on the field" vs a superb Mission squad.  No shame and no regrets fellas, life is going to hand us all some disapointments and like we always say, how you bounce back from hard-times is what is really going to define you in the long-run.













To all the parents, students, staff, school administration, alumni and friends of the program who came out to support both teams on December 3rd; A most heartfelt thanks from all of us who were down on the field of play.  We were lifted and encouraged throughout the day by your support!


Go Dawgs!

Varsity Win BC Quarter-Final

Varsity Dawgs 40 Abbottsford Collegiate 6

The game was a story of two halves.  We struggled with mental breakdowns in the first half and a good opponent made us look pretty average.  We were more complete during the second half.  A win is a win and we will surely take it.  Now it is time to go back to practice and get better.  Our next opponent will make us pay dearly for similar miscues.

JV's Win BC Quarter-Final!

JV Dawgs 53-Holy Cross 0

Dawgs Play Behind Their Shoulder Pads!

A huge day at Beban Park in the worst of playing conditions!  Winds, sleet and driving rain did nothing to slow down the Dawg Juggernaut as we hosted the Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey.  Our opponents came out physical and we responded in kind.  Over four quarters we gave our best and when everything was said and done, we had earned our way into the BC Semi-Final.

Bad Weather...Great Team Effort!

Next up for our JV squad is the Robert Bateman Timberwolves of Abbottsford.  Bateman is coming off of big shut-out wins of their own and will easily be the most complete and formidable opponent we have faced this year.  These guys are big fast and physical.   Barsby beware!  History is full of very talented teams who fell short after reading their own press clippings and underestimating a good opponent.  It is full of teams who under-achieved because they thought past deeds were worth a block or a tackle in the now.  Be humble, be focused and train/live in the now.

Robert Bateman is good, very good.  Our preparation has to rise to a new level!

Go Dawgs!!

JV Dawgs vs Argyle

JV Playoff Opener a Success!


Round 1 of the 2011 JV Playoffs had our JV Dawgs hosting a bunch of hungry gamers from the North Shore.  Though the score got big early, much credit goes to the Argyle squad for A) taking the game and B) playing hard to the final whistle.  We invited the young team into our post-game afterglow and the relationship between our two programs took on new and positive life.  We will be travelling to play the Pipers in early 2012 and are looking forwards to a cross-water rivalry with this North Shore school.


Our next game will be the AA JV BC Quarter-Final onWednesday, 16 November, 3:01 PM versus the Holy Cross Crusaders.  The game will be played at the new artificial turf field located at Beban Park.

Go Dawgs!

Strap On Your Head Gear!
Time To Get It On!!!
It's Border Battle Week baby and BC's biggest HS Football Rivalry is stacking up to be a classic! Our Varsity Dawgs (4-0) host The Ballenas Whalers (3-1) on our home dirt this coming Friday afternoon and its a big one for both squads as this game not only counts for pride, but has massive playoff implications right out of the gates. The Whalers are for real this year and it is going to take our best week of prep and a supreme effort on the field of play to take this one.

The call is going out now to every Dawg supporter, alumni, parent and the student body to get out to the field and Rock-The Cage! Rain or shine, this is going to be "A Happening" to remember! We need the 12th man on the field with us (our crowd) as we do gridiron battle with our arch-rival Ballenas!

Below is a video diary of the Whaler season to date. Look for yourselves folks! They are good!








Its for real folks and this one is for keeps!




JV Dawgs vs Nanaimo District Islanders





The Tenth Annual Ray Kocher Classic will be played this Wednesday, October 5th  3:01 PM "In The Cage!"  The game is called the Ray Kocher Classic as he was the Principal first at John Barsby and then at Nanaimo District who gave the go ahead for the start of High School Football at both schools.  Over the ensuing decade, hundreds and hundreds of young men have enjoyed and grown within the High School Football Experience.  Both programs are thriving and this game is a lot of fun.

Big Day For Dawg D!

Dawg D Closes In For Another White-Out!

Defense was stellar again on Friday as we held a Milne team that had scored 60 plus points the week prior to zero on the scoreboard.  Big kudos however to the Wolverines who fought hard to the end and who were great sportsmen!  Without them, we never would have had a game.

The coaching staff was pleased with the total team effort across the roster and believes that we took another step forward towards building a better squad.  The pre-season is now over and we are really going to be getting down to business at practice and on the playing field.  There will be no free lunches and everyone is going to have to compete mentally and physically.  Preparation, preparation, preparation men.

Thanks again to the parents who helped with the sticks this week, Mr. Gray and JB Alumni Mr. Harry Parmar for their efforts on the PA and to Mr. Craig Letourneau for the game photos.

To view weekly game photos please go to:

Belmont Double Header Big For Barsby

JV's Make It 2-0



 
The day began with another outstanding breakfast served-up by Chef Chandler and his crew and things only got better from there.  Our JV's posted a 48-0 victory over their opponents recording our second consecutive shutout of the year.  It doesn't get much better defensively.  On offense, "Air Buldog" made an appearance with over 270 yards thrown above our lovely turf.  It was a fun game and it signals better things to come as the season unfolds.

Varsity Defense Ready To Unload

Our Varsity Dawgs played some great physical ball in a game shortened to the first half due to Dawg inflicted attrition on the opposing bench.  Hats off to Belmont for coming to play the game and they gave a good account of themselves while the game was on.  We had another very good defensive day giving up only a two point conversion. The defense also recorded four interceptions in the first half alone!  Belmont's lone score came off of a very well executed kick-return and we have to go to work to get better in that area!  Offensively, we spread the ball around well and the blocking was outstanding.


A big thank you to all the students, teachers, parents, admin, alumni and friends of the program who came out to cheer on our squads!  The Barsby Dance Team did a great job at both half-times!! A special thank you to Mr. Letourneau for his great game pics.  These can be viewed at:

Well done!  One Team, One Family, One Mission!

Week Three Double Header vs Belmont HS

Dawgfight in The Cage 23 September!


The Belmont Blue Bulldogs roll into town for a week three double-header Friday, 23 September in "The Cage"!

Belmont is a huge school with a population that is over three times as big as ours.  The athletes that will step on to the field for the Blue Bulldogs will surely be a reflection of the draw the school has.  Do not underestimate what we will be facing on the field come Friday!

Kick-Off Times


11:01 AM Junior Varsity Kick-Off

1:46 PM Varsity Kick-Off

We will be wearing our dark uniforms for this game.

Go Dawgs!!

Week Two Big For The Dawgs




Week two was a road warrior week for our JV's and Varsity with 52-0 and 42-7 wins respectively.  Defense and some very good special teams "Pride and Joy" play characterized both games.  Our players travelled well and "delivered the mail" when they arrived at their destination.  This is good experience for the big games that loom on the mid-horizon.  For now, it is time to prepare for our week three double-header against the Belmont Blue Bulldogs of Langford.

Practices Have Begun

Time To Get Better!

Ultimately, each player owns his own soul and is in control of his individual point of effort.  The decisions you make affect everyone on the squad.

JV's Show Much Promise In 2011 Spring Jamboree

JV's Light It Up At 2011 Jamboree!
JV Jamboree Photos at:
Wow!  Our JV's served notice that they are on a mission in 2011 this past Saturday.  We kicked-off game one in a wild melee vs AAA Champion Mt. Douglas and finished on top of a 38-28 tilt.  Game two vs arch-rival Ballenas was 28-6 Barsby and game three against AAA finalist Vancouver college wound up 30-6 for the Dawgs.

JV's "Get After It!" Spring 2011

The scores don't necessarily tell the whole story of the day however as coaches on both sides of the ball rotated players liberally.  The story of the day was team execution, mental cohesion, physicality and desire.  Much hard work has taken place since 4 December 2010 to prepare for the 2011 campaign.  Six months into the process and we demonstrated that we are well on track as individuals and a team.

Video analysis shows however, that there is much work to do to be where we want to be on both sides of the ball.  There will be some wound licking for a couple days and then it is back to work building something we can all be proud of!

Players, coaches, parents and supporters.  A great Spring!!  Time to hit the books and finish as strong as we can in the classroom.

Go Dawgs!!

Varsity Spring Jamboree Jamboree


The 2011 Season Begins Well

Congratulations to our Varsity Dawgs on a well played afternoon of Football!  The rivalry game with Ballenas is surely alive and well!!


The coaching staff was able to get  a very good look at a wide variety of players in different positions and combinations throughout the day.  It was a pleasure to see the teamwork between veteren players, new arrivals from JV and our group of brand new Barsby Football Players.  There is much potential in the 2011 group and a whole lot of work ahead required to narrow the gap between our current performance and where our potential performance exists.  Narrowing that gap is half the fun of playing the game!
