Darren Cereshko begins new football season at Notre Dame College. The Buckeye and Baldwin Wallace is a Graduate Assistant getting his Masters of Education with a Technology Endorsement. This season he is helping coach the defensive line with Keystone High School graduate and Baldwin-Wallace All-American Gus Patouhas.
Darren related "I love coaching and I love football, I am excited to be where I am. I am anxious to see how the team shapes up. It is an new experience coaching at a school that hasn't had a football program before, but I will take a lot out of it."
Info on the program:
Notre Dame College is pleased to announce that the development of a football program is underway, with plans to begin intercollegiate competition in 2010. Falcon football becomes the 19th athletic program at Notre Dame, which first admitted men to the College in 2001.
“We’re thrilled at the prospect of initiating a football program at Notre Dame,” said director of athletics Susan Hlavacek. “We have challenges ahead, but this is the right time for the College to take this step. NDC football will bring a certain unity to our campus, and in turn keep us connected to the Greater Cleveland area.”
According to Hlavacek, Notre Dame will begin recruiting now, with a 2009 leadership class forming the backbone of the startup program. The College will look to hire a head coach over the winter of 2008-09. Based on further study and the success of initial recruitment, the Falcons could play a club schedule in 2009. Play in an intercollegiate schedule would begin in the fall of 2010. Notre Dame College is a co-educational liberal arts institution in South Euclid, Ohio. The Notre Dame Department of Athletics sponsors the Falcons' participation in 18 men's and women's intercollegiate sports. The College is affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the American Mideast Conference (AMC). In 2007-08, Notre Dame athletic programs ranked in the nation’s Top-50, based on the NAIA Director’s Cup all-sports ranking as published by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).

The Jaguars Varsity defeated the Warrensville Cowboys to become the 2009 Kick Off Classic Champions! There were 9 teams in the Varsity 12 & Under pool. The Jags won their first two games and went into the playoffs ranked #2, with the Cowboys ranked #1. They defeated the CCYF Falcons 19-6 to advance to the Championship Game where they defeated the Cowboys 7-6 to win the Championship.
This marks the 2nd year that Buckeye has participated in the tournament, last season the Jags and Jets Varsity went, this season their respective JV Squads also went giving us 4 teams representing Buckeye. The Jaguars won all 3 of the games they played last season but didn't get to the playoff rounds due to the criteria used to rank the teams. They made up for it this year, they now have a 7-0 record in the tournament, scoring 89 points while giving up only 25 and posting 3 shutouts.
Congratulations to Head Coach Paul Fowler, Assistant Coaches Mike Arena, Chris Calta and Bryan Willis and all the Jaguars Varsity players. You played hard, had a great experience and showed Buckeye Pride!

This year the 9-10 year old Buckeye Jaguars participated in the Medina Bee’s 5 on 5 Spring Flag-Tournament. There were 4 teams participating in our division. We won our first game by foreit over the Medina Sharks and won our second game 27-22 over the Medina Monsters. It took us a last minute drive to win the game leaving only 30 seconds on the clock.
In the championship game we faced the Medina Predators and we fell 22-6 and brought home second place. Our players played very well for only having two practices prior to the tournament. Overall it was great to see how well these kids pulled together and played as a team and never gave up or backed down!
I would like to thank the following players and their parents for their participation:
Adam Fauver, Zakary Fowler, Eric Keller, Jaret Lowry, Justin Lowry, Jonathan Neel, Garret Rivett and Zachary Schnepp.
Thanks,
Eric Keller

The Brunswick Jets and the Jaguars hooked up Saturday Night at Steingass Field at Buckeye High School for the 2008 Championship game. The Jets won it, shutting out the Jaguars 21-0. It was the Jags only loss of the season as they finished with a 9-1 League record and a 12-1 overall record. The Jets kept their record unblemished at 10-0.
The Jags kept the ball most of the 1st half and finally surrendered a touchdown to the Jets with less than 2 minutes to go and the teams went to intermission with the Jags trailing 7-0. In the second half the Jags could not get the offense untracked and the Jets added two more scores to make it 21-0.
Despite that loss the Varsity Squad had a very successful season, becoming the first BYFA team to win 12 games in one season, and they, along with our Jets, made the first ever tournament appearances by participating in the Medina Kickoff Classic where they won all 3 of the games they played. We congratulate the Jets on their Championship, and we also congratulate the Jaguars on their 2008 Season.

A couple of our former players are playing college football this season. Dustin Supan is a Defensive Back at Defiance College. He is a Junior this year and had a pretty good season last year for the Yellow Jackets with 34 tackles and 2 interceptions. They finished 5-5 last season and will open this year on September 6 against Muskingum College. Dustin played on the Jaguars Varsity squads of 1999 and 2000 and was one of the reasons they won back to back championships those years.
Down at West Liberty State College in West Virginia Josh Varney begins his Freshman year of College as a member of the Hilltoppers Football team. Josh played with the Jaguars JV in 1998 & 1999, he then moved to the Jets Varsity and played with them in 2000 & 2001. He was the 1st receipient of the 'Golden Jet' award in 2000, and coincidently he picked up the 'Golden Buck' Award last season with as a senior with the Bucks.
Justin is pictured above wearing #19 the same number he wore with the Jaguars, although he wore #20 with the Bucks. Josh is wearing #60 as he did with the Jaguars JV in 1998 (His younger brother Keegan is wearing it on the Jags Pee Wee squad). We wish both of these young men good luck during their upcoming season and also in the classroom.

Former Jaguars Cheerleader Dana Roskey is a member of the 2008 Quakers Cheerleaders at Wilmington College. She is Freshmen this year and is cheering during both Football and Basketball season. Dana's goal is to be a veterinarian and she took her horse to school with her, hope the horse does well in school too, we guess that is where 'horse sense' comes in. She is pictured below in the back row, 3rd from the right.
Dana cheered with the Jags JV squad from 1998-2000, the Varsity in 2001 & 2002, and has helped pick music, and teach dance routines and cheers since the 2003 season. That's 11 seasons of contribution to our program along with cheering for Buckeye from 8th grade through her senior year.. Thanks for your dedication Dana and we wish you well with Cheerleading at the college level, and also in your education!

The Jaguars and Jets got the 2008 Season underway at Buckeye last night. The opener went to the Jags 26-0, breaking the Jets 2 game win streak over them. Want more numbers? This was the 9th meeting of the two teams with the Jags now holding a 5-4 edge in the series. They won the first 3 before the Jets prevailed twice during 2003 enroute to their Championship. Last season the Jets won the opener 27-0.
This was the 60th Varsity game for the Jets and they now have a 36-24-0 record. The Jags have a 46-52-0 record and will play their 100th Varsity contest Saturday night against the Hamilton Wentworth Panthers from Canada. That's alot of Varsity games by these two teams over the last 13 Seasons of Buckeye Youth Football.
We are proud of Varsity Teams and all our other players and cheerleaders not only from this season but from all the seasons past. This weekend the JV Squads will get started and then on the 30th all the Pee Wee and Flag begin their seasons, so come out to the fields and watch some football!

The Jaguars and Jets made their tournament debut in Medina today and did themselves proud. The Jets won their two games, Saturday they beat the Medina Broncos 6-0. In perusing the Broncos website we discovered in an article at the bottom of the page that the Broncos had won 28 consecutive games dating back to the first game of the 2006 season. So that is a bit of a feather in the hat of the young Jets who have 18 playes, 6 of whom never played football before this season and 3 who just moved up from JV last year. Way to go Jets! Then today they played the Medina Predators and won that game 12-0.
The Jaguars played back to back games on Saturday night winning the first game against the Lorain Steelers 7-0, and taking the second game 6-0 over the Hamilton Wentworth Panthers. Those games were numbers 99 and 100 in Jaguar Varsity history. Both the wins came on interception returns as they played a very stingy defense.
That set up another Buckeye Showdown with the #5 Seeded Jets and #6 Seeded Jags met last night at 6:00PM. The Jags came out on top 12-0, but both teams have the right to be proud of their first tournament appearances, they each won two games against teams they knew nothing about and found out they could play win if they played the entire game and never let down.
There were four more undefeated teams who scored more points than that Jets and Jags did so they are ranked higher and have a chance to finish either as #1 or as #2. You can visit our hosts by clicking Medina Bees Youth Football.
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!

Adam Franz just finished his fourth year of football at Tiffin. He was a red-shirted junior this year and played offensive guard in 6 of their elevengames. The Tiffin Dragons won the Great Lakes Football Conference (GLFC)championship going 5-0 and were 9-2 overall. They finished ranked 27th in the country for Division 2 schools. Unfotunately they missed the playoffs.

He is in a position to graduate this December in 3-1/2 years, and has chosen to not play his senior season to pursue law school. This past summer he interned in Washington, DC for the U.S. Marshalls. He will be receiving his second letter (and jacket) with a conference championship ring in January at their banquet.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

On Friday night, November 17th,2000 Brunswick Youth Football held their annual reverse raffle at Sally's Party Center. The Jags and Jets had about 30 people there and everyone had a great time.
This is the biggest fund raiser the league does and it helps to buy uniforms and equipment for the next season. Click on the picture above to see more pictures from the raffle.

Cheer Explosion was held at Buckeye High School this year. All the Cheerleading Squads of the Brunswick Youth Football League come and do their cheers and half-time routines from the season. The JV and Varsity All-Stars also show off their routines for the All-Star games.
BYF Cheer Co-ordinator, and Jag Cheer Coach, Wren Roskey was in charge of the whole thing and did an excellent job.

On August 9th, 2001 at Buckeye High School the some of the Buckeye High School Cheerleaders held a clinic for our Youth Cheerleaders. The Bucks' Cheerleaders helped them learn moves, cheers, and dance steps in preperation for the upcoming season. The turnout was very good and all the girls had fun. Our thanks to the Buckeye Cheeleaders for their efforts.

Coach Varney brought Cheryl and Keegan to practice to visit. He is up to a whooping 9 pounds 3 ounces, 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.

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.

Later in the second quarter Michael Grywalski of the Chargers added the second score on a nice run, with Drew Megrey tacking on the extra point on a QB keeper.
In the 3rd quarter after fumbling the ball inside the 5, BYF got a safety on the next play to make it 16-0. CCYF got a TD late in the quarter on a nice pass play, but on the next play Joe Hon got off about a 45 yard run to set up a Danny Lough TD that capped the BYF scoring and they picked up the victory.

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.

Pictured above is our newest Buccaneer, and the newest addition to the Asvestas family, Jadon Claire. Bucs' Coach Scot Asvestas, wife Stacey, along with Corey & Cayla welcomed her on August 22 at 3:50AM. She is the tiniest Buc too, weighing in at 5 pounds, 2 ounces.
Congratulations and welcome to Buckeye Youth Football Jadon! We are now two for two, as last season Jets' Coach Varney and his wife Cheryl had a new son Keegan. We wish him a Happy belated birthday! He was born on the first day of practice in 2001.
