Jets Drop A Close One
The Jets Varsity didn't have their season come to the outcome that they wanted it to as they dropped a close game to the Brunswick Jets 15-12 on Saturday night at Steingass Field. The Jets trailed by one at the half 7-6 and even though the teams exchanged TDs in the second half, the difference was that Brunswick was able to convert a 1 point PAT and a 2 point PAT.
Congratulations to Head Coach Steve Watkins, Coaches Mike Vogt and Rick Monroe and the entire Jets Varsity Squad on an excellent season as they finished 10-1. You showed pride and determination all season and Buckeye Football is proud of you!

Buckeye Youth Football At The Browns Game
On Saturday, August 11th Buckeye Youth Football players, cheerleaders, coaches and their families were guests of the Cleveland Browns and Dick's Sporting Goods as they traveled to Cleveland Browns Stadium to watch the Browns and the Chiefs hook up in a preseason game.
Everyone had a great time and BYFA wishes to thank the Browns, Dick's Sporting Goods and Jon Stahl from Dick's for providing the tickets.
Jags Former Cheer Coach
Former Jags Cheer Coach Heather Jamison was at the Browns/Chiefs game with BYFA. She is posing above right with the Browns mascot which made us remember she was seen one other time posing with a mascot. She was the Jags Varsity Cheer coach back in 1999 and 2000 when they won Back-2-Back BYF Championships. I guess when you win championships you get to go to Disneyworld. (We just think she has a thing for people in hot furry costumes).
 | | The 2004 Jaguars Varsity | |
Jags Come Up A Bit Short
The CCYF Jets handed the Jaguars their only loss of the season in the 2004 Championship Game. The Jets won the game 12-8 in a that went down to the final 3 minutes. The Jags were leading 8-6 deep in Jets territory when the Jets recovered a fumble and took the ball out to their own 31 yard line. On the next play they lost 5 yards back to the 25. On a 2 and 15 they threw a pass into the right flat and went 75 yards for the score to end it. It was a well played game by both teams and the game capped off the first season of play with the three organizations being involved. There were 12 Varsity teams, they played a total of 99 games, and got down to 1 Champion.
Buckeye Youth Football and the Jaguars congratulate the CCYF Jets on their 2004 BBCC Championship.

Former Jags Headed To College
Two more former Jags have made a choice to play football in college. Dan and Darren Cereshko have both opted to attend Baldwin Wallace College, and will play Division III football for the Yellow Jackets next season. Both Cereshkos, played in 1996 with the very first squads. Dan, a 5'11" 170 QB/DB, and Darren, a 5'11" 170 WR/DB, together broke most of the passing and receiving records at Buckeye during the 2002 & 2003 Sesaons. Dan was the Golden Buck Award Winner in 2003 and Darren was Ohio Division III Defensive Player of the Year in 2002. Congratulations and Good Luck with the Yellow Jackets Dan & Darren!
Earlier in the year former Jaguar player Adam Franz has signed a national letter of intent to play football at the Division II level for the Tiffin Dragons next season after graduation from Buckeye. Adam, 6'3" and 240 pounds, played for the Jaguars in 1997.
During high school he was in the band as a freshmen and sophomore and returned to football as a Junior. His excellent line play helped the Bucks to their first appearances in the state playoffs in 2002 and 2003. He was an All Mohican Area Conference selection this season, along with being named to the All MAC Academic Team and Co-Most Improved Player. Congratulations and Good Luck Adam!

Former Jags Playing College Ball
Every year we talk to the youth players about doing their best on the field and in the classrooom. We want them to show pride, heart, and discipline and aspire to be a Buckeye Buck and then go on to college. We have 3 former Jags at that level during the 2004 Season. Buckeye Youth Football is proud of them and wants to recognize their efforts!
In the spring of 2004 Adam Franz (Jags '96 & '97)signed a national letter of intent to play football at the NCCA Division II level for the Tiffin Dragons this fall after graduating from Buckeye last June. Tiffin improved from a dismal 2-8 season in 2002, to finish 6-5 last season. Adam, a 6'3" and 240 pound lineman, helped the Bucks to their first 2 appearances in the state playoffs in 2002 and 2003. He was an All Mohican Area Conference selection during the 2003 season, along with being named to the All MAC Academic Team and Co-Most Improved Player for the Bucks. He is a Forensic Psychology major and wants to go to the FBI after graduation. Congratulations and Good Luck in your college career Adam!

BW finished 10-2 and made it to the 2nd round of the NCAA Division III playoffs in 2003. Dan, a 5'11" 170 QB, and Darren, a 5'11" 210 WR/DB, together hold most of the all time passing and receiving records at Buckeye that they set during the 2001 & 2002 Sesaons.

Mission Accomplished!!!!!!!
The Jaguars successfully defended their 1999 BYF Championship by defeating the Colts 26-6 on Saturday night. Pictured below this are the 1999 & 2000 trophies.
When we began this season we listed two objectives for Buckeye Youth Football. To keep the Jags in the hunt for the 2000 BYF Championship and to get the Jets started and on the same path that the Jaguars began in 1996. We have all accomplished those two things TOGETHER! Congratulations to the Jaguar Varsity players and cheerleaders on their Championship Season, and also to all the coaches, players, and cheerleaders of the Jets for the way they have begun and laid a foundation to use in the upcoming seasons.
Congratulations To The 2000 Jaguar Varsity Players & Cheerleaders!
Mission Impossible 2
The theme from "Mission Impossible" is back as the music this year on the web page. As most of you know that music was chosen when the web page was started in August last year, as I thought it was appropriate for our team goal of winning the 1999 Brunswick Youth Football Championship.
Cheer Coach Wren Roskey used the music for the Jag Varsity Cheerleaders halftime routine all year. Best of all was when it was played during the Championship trophy presentation at Edwards Field in November. This is a new season and with it comes 2 new missions.
Mission #1:
For the Jaguars to rebuild by meshing the returning players with the upcoming JV players and stay in the hunt for the BYF 2000 Season Championship.
Mission #2:
Get the new team, the Buckeye Jets,to hit the ground running and bring to them the same principles of "TEAM" and "TOGETHER" that we have instilled in the Jaguars the last 4 years. That will be another reason to be proud of this Buckeye Youth Football program!

Fox Sports Comes to the Brunswick
At Saturday night's 2000 Championship game we had a special guest announcer in the booth to call the play by play. Tony Rizzo from Fox8 Sports came out to do the game at the request of Tim Roskey, husband of Cheer Coach Wren Roskey. Tim is a cameraman at Fox8 and he and Rizzo do the Friday high school highlights as they visit area games aboard the SKYFOX helicopter.
Tony did a great job and the Jaguars would like to thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule to do this for the kids.
We would also like to thank Tim for filming the entire game and agreeing to edit our game films down to a highlight tape for us.
Thanks again Tony and Tim.

Inuaugural Meeting of the Buckeye Teams
On Saturday night, September 29,2000 the two Buckeye teams in the Brunswick Youth Football League met for the first time ever at Edwards field in Brunswick. The Jags, in their 5th Season, defeated the Jets, in their 1st Season, 22-0 but the game was a hard fought battle on both sides of the ball. The Jets showed that they were competive in just their 3rd game of existance and gave the Jags a fight the entire game. It won't be too far into the future that the Jets come out ahead on the scoreboard in one of these Jags/Jets contests. For the game summary and pictures check both the Jaguars and Jets home pages.

 | | Tim Roskey Editing the Highlight Video | |
Thanks Tim!
We would like to take this time to thank Tim Roskey for the time and effort he has expended in the filming and making of the Buckeye Youth Football highlight video for the 2000 season. Thanks Tim you did a great job filming and your editing was perfect.
We would also like to thank Tony Rizzo from Fox8 and Tracy Mattern for their narration of the Video.
Coach Rea and Tim spent over 15 hours looking at tape, editing, adding music, etc., as they put the video together. As you can see below after 12 straight hours in an editing room sometimes you want to choke someone.

 | | The 2002 Buckeye Youth Football Coaches | |
There Is No Substitute For Experience
In our opinion, one of the reasons that Buckeye Youth Football has been so successful is due to the experience and continuity of the coaching staff. We have a group of people that enjoy working together, teach the players and cheerleaders, and like what they are doing, while continuing to return year after year. Pictured above is the 2002 Buckeye Youth Football Staff. The Jets JV Staff and a couple others are missing, but this was taken during Picture night for the players and cheerleaders.
When you couple all that returning coaching experience together with the Coaches coming into their second seasons, there is 67 years of youth football coaching experience here! We are proud of that and we thank all our coaches for their continuing service and dedication to this football program.

Frog Jump Champion
For over 40 years in Valley City the Valley City Chamber of Commerce has held the annual Frog Jump. Patterned after the Mark Twain story "The Jumping Frog of Calevaras County". This year's Grand Champion, with a jump of 17 feet, was a frog named "Fat" who's "jockey" was Kayla Mason. Kayla is in her 3rd year with the Jags, and is playing JV this season.
Congratulations Kayla! Great Job!
If any other players or cheerleaders have received awards, won contests, or been recognized somehow, send us e-mail us the info and/or a picture at BuckeyeYouthFB@aol.com, or get the info to Coach Rea at practice and we will get it posted.

The Newest Jet Makes A Visit To Practice
Coach Varney brought Cheryl and Keegan to practice to visit. He is up to a whooping 9Lbs. 3Oz., and Mom is looking and feeling great too. We are not sure if Keegan was impressed as he watched the Varsity Jets, since he spent most of the time sleeping on Coach Rea's stomach (We think he thought it was a waterbed). He had plenty of visitor's and we are sure he will make many appearances this season.
