With
the Patriots first year under their belt in the Northern Vermont Youth Football
League, the organization is beginning a new season and is actively in pursuit
of the 2004 Championship. The program
has had tremendous player interest. For
the 2004 season, there will be over 40 Flag players in grades 2 - 4
participating, with another 30+ on each tackle team; 5/6 & 7/8 grades,
bringing the number of youth football players to 100+. Many of these players are participating in
football for the first time.
Thirteen
Patriots recently attended the Vermont All-Star Football Camp at South
Burlington High School. Congratulations
go out to Kyle Mead and Mark McNall who were awarded “Most Improved Player
Awards.”
New
for the 2004 season is Patriots Cheerleading!
Coaching the Patriots Cheerleaders are Jody Mossey and Michelle
Brown. Assisting are Danielle Haley,
Emily Littler, Gabe Grant, Maria Thatcher, and Allison and Ashley Parah. Look for a lot of action at the football field
this Fall as the Patriots tackle teams will be playing three home games in
September and October and the Pats Cheerleaders supporting their team. Tackle games begin at 8am for 5/6 and 10am
for 7/8
We
hope to see you at the field this fall cheering on your Patriots!

A lot has been happening to establish a
high school football team at BFA-Fairfax over the past spring and summer
months. Many of you have donated time,
volunteered to work fundraising events, or just supported financially. Over $26,000 has been fundraised thus far by
hardwork and a dedicated group of over twenty individuals.
The volunteer coaching staff and players
recently participated in a summer passing league program. Many varsity teams from around Chittenden
County participate in this Tuesday/Thursday night scrimmage event at Milton and
Essex High School. The players from
BFA-Fairfax gained experience and confidence as they competed against many
Division I, II, and III Varsity programs featuring primarily juniors and
seniors.
Eight
BFA-Fairfax freshmen recently attended the Vermont All-Star Football camp at
South Burlington High School.
Congratulations go out to Josh Boucher, Ethan Klauzenberg, and Maxx
McNall who were awarded “Most Improved Player Awards.”
The
Friends of Fairfax Football wishes to thank the following organizations and
families for making this program possible.
We also thank the many people that have donated through coin drops,
bottle drives, or through other fundraising events. Ben & Jerry’s Community Action Team Grant - $500, National
Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame Grant - $1,000, NFL Youth
