Mitey Mite Black -- Coach Bashieff Jones
Coach Bashieff Jones youth football coaching career began in 1992. He has maintained a 24-0 regular season record for the past three years, a 5-3 playoff record, has made 2 trips to the Q-Bowl, has a defense that averages 7 shutouts per year and an offense that averages 42.3 Points per game.
The JM coaching staff has been together for 4 years and believes kids come first, football second and is more dedicated to teaching than anything else. If you teach the right thing, then winning comes easy, says Coach Jones. We want to make sure that when they leave us they are ready for the next level and have a really good knowledge of the fundamentals of football so they can advance, he continues.
On the average the JM defense has given up about 3 points a game since JPW. Thats only once or twice a year that any other team has scored on us, reports Coach Jones. This is credited to a committed staff. Running the defense like a church choir, Defensive Coordinator Coach Dre, gets everyone clapping and singing on one accord. Based on speed and well-disciplined, the aggressive Black Shirt Defense flies around and keeps 4 hats on the ball at all times.
The speed and explosive footwork exemplified by the defense is a direct result of the college and NFL combine workout instituted by Coach Curtis Dozier, the Strength and Conditioning Coach. Asst. Def. Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach T-White is a hands-on coach who keeps the boys minds right by maintaining their nasty disposition whereas Ramses Howden aka Coach Poopee, a high-spirited DB Coach is the most dedicated member of the staff.
Defensive Team shout outs: Capt. Of Defense since Mitey Mite, Willie Bowden #55; Guardian Angel of the Defense, Todd Herrod #24; a player that can make a play anywhere on the field, Michael Taylor #5; Shutdown Corner and big hitter, Kevin Ursulich #20, Quarterbackkiller.com Cedric The Spaceman Black #54; a hard worker that is getting stronger everyday, Dorian Crawford #26; Devonte Jackson #21 who has a knack for making big plays and Curtis Dozier #44 are reliable and steady players.

beware of his bite! Aaron Anderson #90, Albert Miller #99, Thomas Washington #45, Jared Bowden #42, Jordan Flesh Wound Cunningham #22, Brian Berry II #88 and Ahmad Johnson #9 form our defensive line referred to for all intents and purposes as The Black Wall. The JM offense averages about 40 points a game utilizing a power-running and west coast passing game. Bringing a decade of Q-Bowl experience and 6 Q-Bowl titles to the table, Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach Rudy Johnson, always has the right recipe for spreading the ball to as many people as possible to keep the defense off-balance. Wide Receiver Coach, Asst. Offensive Coordinator, Equipment Manager, Statician and Team Trainer Coach Stutz, is an invaluable asset to the team. Coach Randy Johnson, Offensive Line Coordinator and Running Back Coach, affectionately known as Coach Ice, constantly exhibits the rare ability to keep everyone hyped and calm simultaneously whilst Coach Jesse Fuller, Offensive Lineman Coach slash Spotter, is upbeat and always stays positive. Every football team needs that, points out Coach Jones.
Offensive Team shout outs: The Headliners, Calvin Marshall #1, Bashieff Jones II #2, Hayvert Williams III #3 and Rudy Johnson IV #7, are the players you love to read about now and undoubtedly will be reading about in high school. Having the hardest jobs but receiving the least recognition are the Grinders: three-years on the job, Chris The Grind King Jackson #50, Lionell Williams #69, Michael Stutz #7, Ilan Martinez #75, Tarifa El Henson #72, Vincent Gonzalez #70, Cesar Cardenas #34 and Bop DeSlouches #16. Youll never hear about the work they do, however the points dont make the scoreboard without them. The Batmen of the team, our Utility Guys: Darnell Williams #83, the X and a speed burner to the outside; David Scarafone #80, starting Y who blocks extraordinarily well providing us with a big receiver for our play action passing game. Latrell Jackson #51, second team tackle, second team Z, third team Y and fourth team X. Dimitri Scott #10, fastest man in the county, first team starting guard, second team X, averages 3 pancakes per game and 30 yards per catch; and Homer Reid III, all world flag running back, starting guard, third team running back, averages 4 pancakes a game, and 15.5 yards a carry. If you couldnt pull his flag
how are you going to get a hand on him to tackle him?
The JM Special Teams is comprised of a multitude of players that can return the ball. Kickers, Jesse Big Legs Mendoza #66, consistently hangs the ball up on the kickoff so there is no return and Beto 10 point Pina #56, possesses a deadly accuracy on field goals and PATs that give us an advantage.
Twenty percent of the current roster has been with Coach Jones their whole youth football career and have established a brotherly bond. No one cares who stands in the light so everyone gets to shine, Coach Jones says proudly. The players are unselfish and willing to fight for each other, their parents and their fans, the Raider Nation
The loudest and the proudest fans, they keep the boys hyped and focused on something to continuously fight for alongside the women that support them, their Cheerleaders, Cheer coaches and Team Moms. P.S.: Who needs an Al Davis when we've got an Ed Smith?
Mighty Mites Silver -- Coach Cecil Shelton
First I would I like to Thank my Wife Ebony and daughter Brandi because without their support it would not be possible for me to give so much of my time without sacrificing theirs.
I have been involved in coaching for 6 years. I first coached for Horace Mann Middle school in their after school program during my junior and senior years of high school. After Graduating high school I was the Defensive coordinator for Crawford High School's Junior Varsity for two years. From there I took a break to concentrate on career development & my studies and continued my education until I was asked to assist in the coaching of 5-7 yr olds for the Flag football division at Balboa. After my first season when we won the Flag Division championship I knew right then that this was my true calling. After 2 years in flag I was able to move up to the Mitey Mite division for my first Head Coaching position. Although being a Head Coach does mean many more responsibilities, I truly feel that it is necessary more than ever to help develop today's youth into not only understanding the true meaning of teamwork, but educating them about enjoying being a kid and how privileged they are to participate in such a great sport. The philosophy I preach to my kids is "What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you". Meaning as long as they give 100% percent then no one can be disappointed and in the long run all the hard work will eventually pay off and NEVER, EVER give up! Our goal is simple play hard, but work harder and victories will follow even in defeat there are lessons to be learned that will not only prepare them for today, but will build a proper foundation as they grow from boys to men.
Jr. Pee Wee Black -- Coach Milton Clark
I've been coaching at Balboa since 1999 as an Assist Coach and have been a board member since 2001. I have been to three Q- bowls as an Assistant Coach.
I have been the Head Coach in the Mighty Mite divsion for the past two years. My goal is to get to the Q-Bowl as a Head Coach once I move up from the Mighty Mite division.
The best thing about coaching here at Balboa is that you are surrounded by so many great individuals. Working with and around great coaches like Richard, Bob, Rod and Ralph makes everything so easy. Following in their footsteps makes the future look bright for the younger coaches in the league like myself.
My goal is to teach these kids how to play football at a team level at the same time teach them self discipline and respect for themselves as well as others. Also let them know that football is not the number one priority. I feel that my coaching staff and I have been doing a great job and will continue for years to come.

I truly feel that being a coach is a privilege it gives you the opportunity to work with different diversity of people and kids throughout the community. My heart goes out to these kids and to me my job is to build a relationship with them, persuade them, motivate them, and inspire them to be the best they can be.
My goals is to teach and building self-esteem and making sure these boys put education first and most importantly.
I am not just a coach to them. I am also a father figure to them, a person that they know they are able to come to for whatever reason and that is why I enjoy being a coach and mentor to these young kids today. I have some young men currently still on my team that I have coached since they were five years old. These boys are like a son to me there is nothing I wouldnt do for them.
