I love my brother and I didn’t want to embarrass his team. But we were able to play our 2nd and 3rd team for the whole 4th quarter.” Bennett led 24-0 at the half when the game was suspended due to lightning. The teams had to return the following night to finish the game. “I was worried about that,” McDuffie said. “My brother is a good coach and he had a lot of time to make adjustments. I had to go home and watch film.” Bennett scored Photo by Mark Adair 20 points in the third Bennett senior Alexander Lofton. quarter to take a commanding 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 season is Bennett senior Alexander Lofton. “He is so special because is a game-breaker in every phase of the game,” McDuffie said. “On offense, defense and special teams, he can score every time he has the ball.” Lofton caught 4 passes for 69 yards in the win over Williamsville East. “He had two kickoff returns for 80 yards each,” McDuffie said, “and both of them were called back by penalty.” Lofton, who has an academic average of 90, was named a team captain. “He has enough credits to graduate right now,” McDuffie said. “He is one of five seniors on the team and he is a great 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 school and in the community.” 5 OG DE C DT OG OT DT TE DE CB LB LB LB SS FS For the promotion of amateur football in WNY! 2013-2014 Activities The WNY Amateur Football Alliance sponsors the following programs: Senior College Night A College Recruiter Night in December which gives High School Seniors the opportunity to meet with many of the college recruiters from throughout the North-East.

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 Albion junior Trey Hart. 26-12 entering the final quarter.

CTF’s vision is to develop the hearts of coaches and athletes 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 and empower you to be an Athlete of Character. Teddy Roosevelt said, “Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.” I believe this to be true for any team as well. The second word we talked about was ENVISION. We defined envision as a clear, powerful picture worth pursuing. What is your vision for the team? Write it down make it plain even for others. Then run with it, work it out. This week’s word is RESPONSIBLE: Commitment even if it requires unexpected sacrifice. If you can be trusted with a little, you can then be trusted with much. If you are dishonest a little, you will be dishonest with much. Athletes... Know what’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 teammate’s mistakes. 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 believe something is true then you need to take action. Just Believe and go for it.

Not just because he is a great football player but because they are really good people, too. They are a great family to have in our program.” Wheatley, a 6-7, 260-pound senior, starts at DE and TE for the Crusaders. He is also one of the biggest of the bigtime 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 were absolutely out for him were Ohio State and Michigan State. I think with his family situation, neither one of those two schools were an option for him.” Robbins has heard from almost every big-name college coach in the country, regarding Wheatley. “I’m not going to lie,” Robbins said, “when Brady Hoke or Brian Kelly calls it’s great to talk with them. You can get a little start struck. But I love talking with Mike Cragg at Hobart and Paul Vosburgh at St. John Fisher, too. They are great guys and great coaches. And, honestly, we’ll have a lot more guys play at those schools than Michigan.” Robbins says that despite the fact that Wheatley is going to play at a big-time football school, you would never know it when talking to him. “The nice thing about TJ is that even though he is a bigtime 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 him to do. He’s been a great kid to have in the program. Mostly, he’s excited about getting a chance to win a state championship this year.” Yes... a state championship. In 2013, Zembiec led Aquinas to the New York State Class AA championship. The Little Irish, in fact, claimed the state title by winning a tournament that Canisius is not allowed to play in. However... this season, for the first time, the Msgr. Martin champion will have an opportunity to play for a NYS Catholic Championship. The Msgr. Martin Association has entered into an agreement with the NYC-based CHSFL that will have the champions of each league meet a week later to play for the New York State Catholic championship. Organizers are hoping to play that game in Yankee Stadium but the details have not been finalized yet. “It will be nice for both leagues to have their champion get another game and maybe be able to call themselves State Champs,” Robbins said. “Our whole team is excited about getting an opportunity to do that. We still have a lot of football to play before we get to that point but it’s been our focus to get to that point.” 23 Tune in to TALK FOOTBALL!! Be sure to LISTEN Saturday Morning from 10 to 11!!

Fisher, ranked No. 9 in the D3football.com preseason poll, senior quarterback Tyler Fenti completed 22-of-33 passes for 296 yards and 4 TDs., Senior WR Nathan Nigolian scored 2 TDs and finished with 8 catches for 148 yards. “We need to get back and do some things a little bit better,” Fisher coach Paul Vosburgh said. “We weren’t aways technically sound. But when adversity struck, our guys stood up to it and responded.” After forcing Otterbein to go threeand-out in the game's opening drive, Fisher marched 54 yards on just three plays for the game’s first score. “When we scored in just three plays, it looked pretty easy,” Vosburgh said. “But Otterbein is a pretty Orchard Park grad Paul Leavell good program. They fought back and it wasn’t until the third quarter that we could get the game in hand.” St. John Fisher has been to the post-season for 11 straight seasons, five times making the NCAA Playoffs. “We are the winning-est team in the East in the last 11 years,” Vosburgh said. “Nationally, we are in the top ten in wins 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 won a 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 and Morrisville State, the conference has been measurably strengthened.” “It’s tough every year now,” Vosburgh said. “There is no easy weekend. You better be ready to play or you will lose.” Fisher has an open date on the schedule this week before playing the annual Courage Bowl game with Brockport State. “It’s a conference game for both of us now,” Vosburgh said. “It’s exciting. I think the fact we have the State schools coming into our league is good for college football and good for New York State. Fans don’t have to go very far to see great football.” If the Cardinals are going to repeat as Empire 8 champions, they will be relying heavily on senior safety Paul Leavell, an Orchard Park grad. “Paul is the third of his brothers to play for us,” Vosburgh said. “Mike and Joe were both solid players for our program.” Vosburgh recruited Leavell heavily as he was finishing his high school career at Orchard Park. “You could see that he was an outstanding football player and a very good overall athlete.” Leavell did not immediately break into the Fisher lineup. In fact, this is the first year as a fulltime starter. “When we recruit kids, we tell them that it’s not easy to start here, especially as a freshman,” Photo by Jerome Davis Vosburgh said. “Paul worked his way up. Last starts at free safety for SJF. year, he was behind a senior who was also in his first year as a starter. Paul did a great job on special teams.” Leavell will have full responsibility to make sure the Cardinals defense is in the proper formation on every play. “As our free safety, he is the quarterback of the defense,” Vosburgh said. “He sets our defense and gets us lined up in the proper alignment. He has to see the offensive formations and then make the call to get us in the right spots. If he makes the wrong call, he misdirects the whole defense.” Leavell was in on 7 tackles, 4 solo, in the win over Otterbein. “He is playing very well right now,” Vosburgh said. “He’s a 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. He did in high school. He’s a little quiet but he does run the show out on the field. We hoping that he progresses into being an All-Conference performer this season.” 54 III D I V I S I O N Empire 8 Alfred.….......................... Brockport State...............

That just wasn’t possible. We didn’t have enough officials to play every single game at 2 o’clock.” Stoldt then got on the phone with Dan Finucane, who schedules the officials for Western New York. He also had to consult with Al Feser, who does the same job for officials 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 officials could get from one game to the games that were suspended. Dan and Al really came through for us. They did 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 football games. “Some of the fields had soccer games scheduled for 7pm Saturday night,” Stoldt said. “So we had to work around other sports, too.” It was obvious that some of the area’s referees were going to put some serious miles on their cars on Saturday. “Honestly, the officials as a group really came through big time,” Stoldt said. “We had some guys that had to ref a 2pm game in Newfane, then drive to West Seneca East to finish a suspended game, before going back home to Lockport.” Even the WNY coaches, notoriously uptight about staying on schedule, were all on board with the plan. “The coaches were all great about it,” Stoldt said. “We had a lot of people in the same boat. They understood this was bigger than we planned.” Amazingly, every game was completed. The final contest was finished Monday night when McKinley beat East High at Riverside Field. “I was just panic stricken that we had missed a game,” Stoldt said. “I just knew that we would have a game scheduled and no referees show up. But, in the end, that didn’t happen. Every game got played and the officials all got to their games. Everyone came through.” Stoldt said he has thought about coming up with an emergency plan in case of a re-occurrence of something this big. “There is no way to really plan for this because you don’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.” T H E EXTRA P O I N T By Mark Adair Well... THAT was certainly interesting. When teams kicked off the 2014 season last Friday, little did anyone know that this was going to turn into one of the most memorable Opening Nights to a football season in WNY history. Things started normally, when East Aurora and Amherst started their game at 6pm. Most games began at 7:00 pm without a hint of trouble. By 7:45, a lightning storm had move into the area forcing teams to get off the field. Many began the 30-minute waiting period but it quickly became clear that this storm was much bigger than initially forecast. Ironically, earlier that day, Section 6 Chairman Ken Stoldt thought there might be a small problem. “I saw the weather report and it didn’t look good,” he said. “I sent an email out to all the Athletic Directors to be prepared if their game had to be postponed or suspended. We had to keep in mind that, if we had some suspensions, that there needs to be a minimum of four days rest between games. I thought we might have 2 or 3 games in that situation.” While Stoldt was in attendance at the Depew at Alden game, 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 that this 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 stretched from 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 and texts waiting for him. “I knew it was going to be a long night,” Stoldt said. “I just started calling people. I had my cell phone going, my home phone 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, “I got 2 or 3 calls that games were being suspended... and then my phone just blew up.” 53 It’s not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out where the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them 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 triumph of 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 Upstate FootballWeekly Are You Game?
