2012 Barsby Football Banquet

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!

BC's Best Rivalry Game This Friday!

This year's game vs the Ballenas Whalers is for all the Western Division marbles as the winner takes the title and goes into the playoff tournament as the number 1 seed in their bracket.  Beyond this, there is of course the competitive nature of the rivalry and pride that goes with a victorious game performance.  Barsby has owned the trophy with wins in 2009, 2010 and 2011.  This year's version of the Whalers is the most complete since they dominated in the 2008 game and a victory for our squad, should it come, will be hard earned indeed.

Fan support will be massive and decisive at this game.  The more Barsby folks that are present, the better the atmosphere.  Everyone has a positive role they can play.  Bring yourself, bring some family, bring some friends, ralley your networks.  Bring your voice, bring a noise maker, wear Red and cheer loud and positive.

We are looking forward to a great night under the lights!!

Go Dawgs!!

Great Game vs The SunDevils...See You In November Fellas!

 

Our Varsity Dawgs fell short in a 13-6 loss this past Friday Night at Merel Logan to the South Delta Sundevils.  The story of the night was big hitting and tough defense both ways.  Both teams made some exceptional plays, but South Delta made more and that was the difference.

We are going to reload and get better in the coming weeks in anticipation of future big tests on the field.

"Having Finish" never rang more true than in Wednesday's 14-13 last minute come from behind win vs Island Rival Ballenas.  The Whalers led 13-8 most of the way, but we found a soft edge late in the fourth and capitalized on it.  Defensively, it took a rock solid second half to give the offense the shot it needed to get in the endzone.

A thrilling first half had the score 16-14 for JB at half-time.  The second half was all about bounce and our first possession was a decisive, quarter-eating drive that separated us for good.  Great work JV's, you left your mark on history. 

Next up is the JV Ballenas Whalers, Wednesday 10 October at 3 PM "In The Cage!" 

Go Dawgs!!!



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.

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

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.

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:
