Orchard Park took a 21-12 lead after a wild first quarter and beat Kenmore West 35-18 last weekend. “We came out very strong,” Orchard Park coach Gene Tundo said. “We threw the ball well and we ran well. They were in a different defense than we expected. They committed to stopping the run but we were able to pass to counteract against that.” Kenmore West scored with :01 left in the first quarter to pull within 14-12 but Terius Wheatley returned the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a TD to give the Quakers a 9-point lead. “This is a good group of guys that compete with each other,” Tundo said. “Our second-line players are as good as the first string players. There is a healthy competition between our kids because they all want to play. At every position our starter has guy behind them that could play.” The Quakers defense has been Photo by Dan Nesselbush outstanding this Orchard Park junior Ron Schul. season. If the Quakers are going to make it back to Ralph Wilson Stadium for the Class AA title game, they will need a big year from junior linebacker Ron Schul. “He started as a sophomore on the lacrosse team and he was as good as anybody who played against him,” Tundo said. “In the state championship game, he won the majority of the faceoffs. We lost the game but if it wasn’t for Ron, we wouldn’t have even been in the game.” Schul is among the Quakers leading tacklers. He made 11 tackles in the win over Kenmore West and also recorded a pair of QB sacks. “He’s quick,” Tundo said. “He has good strength and great intuition. Sometimes he gets to where the ball is going before the ball gets there.” Schul has an academic average in the high 80s and will probably play college lacrosse. “He’s a winner,” Tundo said. “He goes full speed right from the beginning of practice until the end of the game. He goes all out every day.” 5

The Heart of a Champion Character Playbook theme is

Be Relentless! 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.

CoverStory continued from page 22 All-Football Weekly team. “Chris is getting a lot of looks from Division I-AA schools right now,” Truilizio said. “There is nothing wrong with that but I think he could play at a higher level. I think that teams like Syracuse and UB should be looking at him a little closer.” Woodard, at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds, has the size to play Division I football. “He’s not thin at all,” Truilizio said. “He is all muscle. He runs with a lot of power. He’s not afraid to take a hit and he’ll definitely give a hit. Where ever they play him at the next level, he will be a huge asset.” Woodard is an outstanding student and maintains an academic average of 98. “All the Ivy League schools are looking at him,” Truilizio said. “Every one of them.” Woodard has already received a scholarship offer from Central Connecticut State but says he is trying not to think about college too much. “I’m trying to keep all the college scholarships in the back on my mind right now,” he said. “I don’t want to think about that and mess up my game. Academics will take me farther anyway.” He wants to major in Exercise Science or Physical Therapy. “I definitely want to be involved in sports,” he said. “I would love to be a trainer for a college team some day.” Woodard says he is so focused on getting to the Ralph Wilson Stadium this season that he hasn’t thought much about the future. “I think we are going in the right direction,” he said. “We knew we could have a good year if we worked really hard in the off-season.” Woodard has played football with six of his teammates since they were small children. Woodard, Alex Molik (OL), Taylor Mellott (LB), Ryan McDonough (LB), Ryan Gilbert (CB) and Drew Krantz (CB) were teammates on the Little League team in North Tonawanda. “We’ve been teammates since forever,” Woodard said. “We’d always go to the games on Friday nights and cheer on the ‘Jacks. I thought those kids on the high school team were huge back then.” North Tonawanda went to The Ralph five straight years and won the NYS title when Woodard was growing up. “I thought those guys were the greatest players ever,” he said. “It’s awesome when I look and see the little kids at our games now. I know just what they are thinking when they watch us play. It’s so important to handle ourselves with class at all times. We don’t want to show them something bad.” Woodard knows that the season’s biggest game is this weekend. “Sweet Home was 9-1 last year and they have a lot of kids back,” he said. “We saw them at the Buff State camp. It will be a great game. I think it will be close and hopefully we can come out on top.” 23

Brandon Ball Helps Hobart The Hobart Statesmen won their first two games of the season, including a 28-18 win over Endicott last weekend. Hobart opened the fall campaign with a win over traditional rival Dickinson College. “We’ve won that game 9 out of the last 10 years,” Hobart coach Mike Cragg said. “They have been a traditional rival for 25 or 30 years but they are dropping us in a couple Brandon Ball of years.” Cragg is pleased with the start for the Statesmen. “I’m very happy that we’re 2-0,” he said. “Our back-ups have been able to get playing time and experience. We have played pretty good football.” The Statesmen are averaging 30 points per game. “We have moved the ball well,” Cragg said. “Endicott made the NCAA playoffs last year so that was a good test for us.” Hobart will go back to the Boston, Massachusetts area to play Curry College this weekend before hosting Kings College (Pa.) for Homecoming. “If we play our game, we’ll be okay,” he said. “We needed to improve the pass defense and we’ve done that. We just try to keep focused on the next game and not look at the big picture.”

Hobart has finished the last two regular seasons undefeated. The Statesmen have won the Liberty League both years and have made the NCAA playoffs. Cragg is also delving deeper into the Western New York recruiting waters. “Section 6 is an important area for us,” he said. “There’s an awful lot of good football players in Buffalo.” One recruit who is playing well is DE Brandon Ball, a 2014 Springville grad. “Brandon is playing defensive end for us and he’s rotating in right now,” Cragg said. “We use him a lot on passing downs because he has a high motor and good football instincts.’ Ball is also able to get varsity playing time while learning the position from 1stteam All-American DE Tyre Coleman. “We bring in about 30 freshman each year,” Cragg said. “It’s really difficult for a freshman to get any playing time. But, the jump to college football hasn’t been too much for Brandon.” Cragg says that Ball is improving and earning more playing time each week. “The thing that stands out is his strength,” Cragg said. “He’s very strong and has a nice job against the run. He is a very hard working individual. And he gets better every day on practice.” Ball is not making much noise, but he is opening some eyes. “He’s a quiet individual,” Cragg said, “but football and Hobart are very important to him. I am very pleased with him.”

Otto Weighs in Again Should they get a letter of reprimand? And why should the losing teams be embarrassed? They fought hard to the very end. They have nothing to be ashamed of.” “I guess...” I started. “Besides, Frontier just got caught on a bad night,” Otto said. “What about those other programs?” “What other programs?” I asked. “There are a few football programs out there that haven’t won more than two games in a season since McKinley was shot in Buffalo,” Otto said with disgust. “Their community does not take the sport seriously and all the opposing coaches protect these programs by not scoring on them. For years, these same teams lose 45-0 each and every week. Why not truly roll it up on them and let everyone know how bad they really are?” “That wouldn’t be very nice,” I said. “So what?” Otto laughed. “Football isn’t nice. It’s a competition. The idea behind a competition is to do your very best. After it’s over, shake hands, share some mutual respect and leave the field together as fellow warriors.” “By beating them 121-0?” I asked. “Sure,” he said, “Then these kids might understand how much work they have to do to get better. You see, the really good programs don’t just get lucky. Those coaches and their players work their butts off to get good. They work all winter, spring and summer to get ready for the season. They do a ton of fund-raising so they can attend camps and coaching clinics. Their community and their school district makes sure they have all the equipment they need to get bigger, stronger and faster.” “But...” I started. “Unfortunately, not everybody wants to work hard,” Otto said. “Some kids sit around all summer watching cartoons. Did they run the bleachers? Did they lift weights every day? Maybe if they got beat 121-0 every single week, they would understand exactly how much work and effort it takes to be good at football.” “But we’re trying to do more than just coach football,” I said. “We’re trying to teach life’s lessons to these kids.” “By not making them feel bad,” Otto said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Let me tell you, teaching kids that life will take it easy on you when you don’t work hard is exactly the WRONG kind of lesson we should be teaching.” “Um...” I said. “Wow... maybe you have a point.” “Of course I have a point,” he said, “but it’ll never happen. Everyone would rather complain about the successful programs than try to be more like them. We make rules so that strong and successful people are as mediocre as everyone else. That way, nobody gets their feelings hurt.” “It’s the American way.”

By Mark Adair I saw Otto Slamkowski the other day. He had a scowl and was chomping on his ever-present cigar. “Hey, Otto. How ya doin’?” He gave a resigned sigh and shook his head. “What’s the matter, now?” I asked. “Oh, my wife got a computer a few weeks ago,” he said. “I joined this thing called Facebook... big waste of time.” “Well,” I answered, “If that’s the case, why did you join?” “I’m trying to keep up with the Western New York football scene and if you wanna do that nowadays, you have to have a computer and use that internet thing,” he said. I asked him what he was seeing on Facebook. “Everyone’s all up in arms,” he said, “because teams are scoring 60 and 70 points in some of the games. People are ranting about the game without mentioning the teams involved... like they don’t want to embarass anyone.” “Well,” I said. “A lot of people don’t like it when a teams pound on an opponent like that. They kind of took advantage of a weaker team.” “Oh,” Otto said, wrinkling his forehead. “But, isn’t that what football teams are supposed to do? Find a weakness in your opponent and take advantage of it?” “Well...” I started. “So, if your opponent has a weakness, you’re supposed to try not to score? Maybe the coach could tell his running backs to fall down as soon as they get the ball. That might make it easier on the other team.” “I don’t think you understand the spirit of high school football,” I said. “You are supposed to use good sportsmanship and not humiliate the other guy.” “Who said anything about humiliating?” Otto asked. “What’s humiliating about getting beat as long as you did your best and played your hardest right to the end?” “I guess I see your point,” I conceded. “But some people are saying that those teams should have stopped scoring because the game was out of hand.” “Out of hand?” Otto asked. “Check the New York State record book, pal. In the old days, there were a lot of games that ended 121-0. I mean, quite a few teams have won games 48-0 this year. Should we punish them for that? Jamestown has scored 68 points the other night.

We make rules so that successful people are as mediocre as everyone else.

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
