U-18's Win Bronze Medal

 

Team BC returned to the Football Canada Cup following a 10-year hiatus with few if any expectations.

 

"We really didn't know what to expect." said head coach Tom Kudaba. "After we came back to beat Ontario East in our first game we thought we had a good shot at being in the Gold Medal game but Saskatchewan had an excellent defense and we helped them out quite a bit with our turnovers.  After that game we made a vow that we were not coming home without a medal and the kids really stepped up to beat Nova Scotia.  We are very proud of our accomplishment after a ten year absence and next year we will be heading into the Football Canada Cup with a much better idea of what we need to do."

 

Led once again by Players of the Game Carson Williams (QB) and Jonthia Fernandez (DE),  BC dominated Nova Scotia 38-3 to take the Bronze Medal. It was the second time in three games that both Carson and Jonthia were selected as Players of the Game..

 

"It was a great experience," said Kudaba " and we are looking forward to getting ready for next year's competition in Alberta.  BC is back!"

Forty roster spots were on the line on Sunday at Burnaby Lake as fifty-seven young football players took the field in an exhibition game against the Big Kahuna Rams( featuring their 18-20 year old players)......and it showed as the Team BC hopefuls came out fired up on the way to a 56-7 route of the Rams.

U-18 Football Exhibition Game

 

Head down to Burnaby Lakes on Sunday to check the 2010  Football BC U-18 Team that will travel to Nova Scotia in July to represent the Province in the Football Canada Cup.  Fifty four young athletes will be trying to make the final 40-man roster in an exhibition game against the Big Kahuna Rams Ist & 2nd year players.

 

"Having an exhibition game gives a real look at the kids we will select for Team BC" said U-18 head coach Tom Kudaba. "It's always better to athletes perform in game conditions rather than just practice situations.  We'll find out who the "players" are."

 

Kick off is at 3:00 pm.

 

Long Time Coach and Principal Retires

 

Bob DeJulius, the first and only Principal of Holy Cross Regional High School, will be retiring up his principal's desk and hanging up his coaching shoes at the end of June.

 

"Bob gave me my first university coaching job at Simon Fraser back in the late 70's" said NSAAC president Jerry Mulliss."  "A few years later I had the opportunity to repay the debt by helping him out at Holy Cross where I spent four years working with the Varsity....one year as Head Coach.   Besides being a tremendous friend, the great thing about Bob is his loyalty to former students, players, staff and friends.  There is literally nothing he wouldn't do to help or provide opportunities for the people he cares about......and there are hundreds of them."

 

DeJulius graduated from Notre Dame High School where he starred as a quarterback and was coached by two legendary football icons - Cal Murphy and Frank Smith.

While still going to UBC he began his coaching career by taking on his little brother's peewee team in when the previous coach quit.

From there he coached at Notre Dame with Al Blesch (1961-62) and Vancouver College (twice) with Cal Murphy beginning in 1963 when he was still going to UBC and then again in the '80s as head coach after he was let go at SFU.  Bob joined the staff at SFU in the early 70's where he was an assistant to Lorne Davies, co-head coach with Pokey Allen and then head coach.

His legendary loyalty to former players is evidenced by the fact that the Crusaders first head coach was former Clansmen Frank Roberto and ex-BC Lion and Clansman Glen Jackson has been a teacher and assistant coach there for eons.

Last weekend the Holy Cross Alumni held a gathering in his honor and created the Bob DeJulius Alumni Scholarship Award and retired a Holy Cross football jersey which now hangs in the gym. In addition the school has re-named the football stadium as "Robert DeJulius Field".

"Some people think of Bob as only passionate about football.....wrong" said Jerry Mulliss.  "Whenever the track team, soccer team, basketball or volleyball teams are competing.... Bob is there.  Whenever the choir is performing.....Bob is there.  Whenever the band is performing.....Bob is there.  Whenever the dramatics arts departments puts on a play.....Bob is there.  Bob is passionate about the whole school not just part of it.  He is leaving big shoes to fill."

Those shoes will be filled by new Principal Chris Blesch (son of legendary Notre Dame principal and football coach Al Blesch).  Blesch is no stranger to Holy Cross having taught and coached there prior to moving into administrative roles first as the principal at St Catherines Elementary and recently as Principal of St Jean Brebeuf high school in Abbotsford.

Don't for a moment think that Bob will shuffle off into retirement quietly....he has 13 grand children and will probably wind up coaching some of them in the future.

Happy retirement Bob and thanks for all you have done and the effects you have made on so many lives.

Football BC's U-18 Team BC Taking Shape

 

Eighty of the top prep football players in BC attended the Football BC U-18 TeamBC training camp at Simon Fraser University this weekend.

 

The eighty players invited to the camp predominantly feature players who will be entering their Junior and Senior years in the Fall of 2010 plus a handful of players who will graduate in June but who's birthdates make them eligible for the U-18 standard.....they must be under 18 as of July 31, 2010

 

All the invitees had been selected from several tryout camps held throughout the Province in the last 2 months.

                      

"We are really impressed with the talent level" said Kudaba, "We have to cut down to 54 players in the next week and then down to 40 players after that.  There will be some tough decisions to make."

 

NSAAC members, including quarterbacks Carson Williams (left,who is headed to UBC in the Fall) and Tyler Fong (right, Mt Douglas Secondary) had impressive outings in the offensive backfield while offensive lineman Zach Rousseau (Mt Douglas Secondary/Victoria Spartans) showed he has the ability and tools to play at the next level.

 

Both quarterbacks  showed that they have the arm and running ability to play at the university level (check their hi-lights in the Plays of the Week above).

 

Defensively, linebacker Buddy Hutchison (Seaquam HS/Big Kahuna Rams) and defensive ends JT Fernandez (Holy Cross) and Jason Bell (Seaquam/Big Kahuna rams) had strong outings and look to be in good position to make the 54-man cut.

 

"Our next phase is to bring the 54-man roster back in early June for a couple days and play an exhibition game before making the final decision on the 40-man roster" said Kudaba "Then we will have another short training camp in the first week of July before traveling to Halifax to compete in the Football Canada Cup."

 

This will be a return to the Football Canada Cup for Football BC has they have not competed in the Cup for nine years due to differences in philosophy with the age eligibility.

 

"Football BC was instrumental in starting the Football Canada Cup in the 1990's" said NSAAC's Jerry Mulliss (former Football BC President and Football Canada Vice-President). "Originally the Football Canada Cup was designed to have a National Championship event for graduating high school seniors and for the first couple of years it went really well.  Then a couple of other Provinces lobbied to raise the age to 20 & Under.  Football BC decided that there were plenty of opportunities for players of that age to compete in the Junior or Collegiate level and consequently withdrew.  Now that Football Canada has lowered the age range to Under-18 (similar to basketball) it makes a lot of sense for Football BC to compete once again."

 

"Lowering the age to U-18 will, I think  be a huge benefit to the kids and to recruiters" said Dino Geremia Program Director for Football BC. "The great majority of the players in Team BC are young men heading into their Grade 11 and Grade 12 years and are some of the best up-and-coming players in the Province from both high school and community programs."

 

The 2010 Football Canada Cup will be played from July 10 - 17 at Acadia University in Wolfeville, Nova Scotia and will feature British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Clark Leaves SFU for TRU

 

Scott Clark is leaving the SFU men's basketball program following a 14 year stint as head coach and is moving to take the same position with the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack. While at Simon Fraser, Clark recruited and coached a number of players who have gone on to successful professional basketball careers and who have played for Canada' national team, including Novel Thomas, Peter Guarasci, Richard Anderson, and Pasha Bains. A native of Kelowna, Clark has had a long and successful coaching career. He succeeded former Clan player Jay Triano, now head coach with the Toronto Raptors, as head coach of the Clan. After a successful high school coaching career at Nanaimo Secondary, a year as an assistant at the University of Victoria, and three seasons as an assistant at Malaspina College, Clark joined Triano's coaching staff at SFU where he served as an assistant during the 1992-93 season. The following year Clark returned to Nanaimo Secondary, compiling an 85-49 lifetime record, before taking over as head coach of the Clan in 1995-96. In his second season with SFU (1996-1997), Clark was named NAIA PacWest coach of the year after guiding the Clan to second place in the league. He led the Clan to a third-place finish in the team's inaugural season in Canada West and in 2002 he guided the Clan to its first-ever Pacific Division title and the third best record in Canada West. Clark has a Master's Degree in Education (Coaching Studies), and is a certified Level 4 coach. During the summer months Clark has worked with both the National and Provincial teams, while running various basketball camps and clinics in the Lower Mainland. He was Co-Coach of the Provincial Under-19 team that won the Gold Medal at the National Championship in 1994 and has served as an assistant coach for the B.C. Under-17 team. We wish Scott all the best of luck in his new position with the Wolfpack.

AAA Boys Moves to Langley

The BC High School Boys' Basketball Association announced last Friday that they are moving the AAA Championship Tournament to the Langley Event Centre in 2011. "We will have a lot more flexibility" said John Buis (Tournament Director), "In addition to the arena which will seat close to 6,500 fans, we have access to three additional basketball courts, a modern audio-visual system and a 500 seat banquet facility." The move means that there will be two solid weeks of high school boys basketball championship action at the Event Centre with the A Boys Tournament running from March 9-13 followed by the AAA Boys from March 15 - 19, 2011. The move from the PNE Agrodome to the LEC is seen as great positive for the student-athletes, coaches and fans. "It is good for our student-athletes, our fans and our sponsors" said Buis, "We have clearly had an upswing in the tournament over the last few years, and we believe this move will help to continue the growth of the event." The LEC plays host to the Langley Chiefs (BCHL), the BC Titans IBL franchise and Trinity Western University basketball and volleyball teams, the Langley Thunder (Western Lacrosse) as well as Basketball BC's provincial and regional training programs. All in all, a great move!

Olson Named UBC Head Coach

 

UBC Director of Athletics, Bob Philip, today announced the appointment of Shawn Olson as the new Head Football Coach.

 

Olson, a native of Surrey BC, has a close connection with UBC having been the last quarterback to lead the Thunderbirds to a Vanier Cup in 1997.  Most recently, Shawn was the offensive coordinator at Simon Fraser University for the past three years.  Prior to joining the Clan, Shawn played and coached with the Vienna Vikings in the European League setting several league records along the way.

 

Before attending UBC, Shawn was an outstanding athlete at Holy Cross Regional High School in Surrey where he had a very successful career as the leader of the football and basketball teams and was regarded as one of the toughest athletes ever to play for the Crusaders.

 

He carried that reputation with him when he spent a stint with the Surrey Rams and then on to the UBC Thunderbirds.

 

A borne leader, Shawn is sure to imbue the Thunderbird players with his passion for the game and his unwillingness to accept anything but a 100% effort and commitment.

 

Congratulations Shawn and good luck.

November 11, 2009

 

 It is with shock and sadness that we acknowledge the sudden passing of Bernd Dittrich quarterback of the Simon Fraser Clansmen.

He was 21 years old. He is survived by his family in Austria.  

While cause of death has yet to be officially determined, SFU’s head football coach, Dave Johnson, said he had learned at the hospital in New Westminster that Dittrich had a previously undetected heart condition. Said Johnson: “He was a special young man. He is a kid who was a great example to our young guys, and a leader for our older guys. He was a great kid. We have 94 guys in the locker room and Bernie was one of the leaders of that group.” Johnson added that Dittrich was using swimming as a means of rehabilitating an injured shoulder that had kept him out of the last two games.

 
“Our hearts go out to Bernd’s family,” said SFU's Senior Director of Athletics, Dr. David Murphy. “The SFU athletics community has lost an exceptional young man. Bernd was not only a great athlete on the field, but also an inspiring individual in all aspects of life. We will miss him tremendously. “He was an enthusiastic leader, someone who was always willing to help out; just a terrific kid. The whole (SFU Athletics) department, not just the football team, is grieving.”
While the third-year Bachelor of Science student played a minor role with the team during his first season, Dittrich was named starting quarterback of the Clan in 2008.  In his first career start, he led SFU to their first victory in over three years, a 24-10 win over UBC. Following the victory, an emotional Dittrich fought back tears while describing how much the win meant to his teammates and coaching staff.

In 2008, Dittrich led the Clan to their best record since 2003 (5-3), a fourth-quarter comeback win in the 2008 Shrum Bowl against UBC, and an appearance in the Canada West Hardy Cup final. A shoulder injury in 2009 limited Dittrich to six games this past season.  Playing in 24 total games for the Clan, Dittrich threw for 2684 yards and 10 touchdowns, while rushing for 763 yards and eight touchdowns.    

Known affectionately as ‘Bernie,’ Dittrich was an inspiration to his teammates, and was known for his enthusiasm and tremendous work ethic. He will be greatly missed.

The Seahawks then opened the second half with an 80-yard scoring drive, capped by Buddy Hutchison's 15-yard run to the end zone.

That was all the Seahawks needed as their shut-down defence took over and Bell's play extended to the defence where he teamed with linebackers Paul Vosper and Matt Gabrick, the latter leading the way with nine tackles. Nose tackle Ford Marcotte along with safety Keane Fraser, who also pulled a crucial drive-saving diving catch, also stepped up huge to shut down  Rick Hansen's vaunted offence.

Walker signs with Saskatchewan


VSS Panthers’ grad Matt Walker, 17, has earned a full-tuition scholarship to play CIS football with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies this fall.

VSS grad Matt Walker has no illusions that making the leap to Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football straight out of high school will be easy.

The Panthers’ star quarterback, who earned a full-tuition scholarship with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, got a glimpse of what the bigger, stronger, faster CIS game will be like while attending the Huskies’ annual Dog’s Breakfast fundraiser recently.

Walker, who tried out as a slotback, was one of 10 prospects to be interviewed in front of a crowd of 2,000 ardent football fans at the banquet.

“You stand up to be presented and stand beside a CFL guy, and then I realize I’m standing beside a guy that’s 6-foot-10ish and about 310 pounds or so,” grinned Walker, who turns 18 in July. “He made me look like a little girl. You look around, and that’s like 90 per cent of the people there.”

Undaunted, the ultra-athletic Walker looks forward to the challenge, and hopes to add to the accolades – B.C. High School Football Interior Conference Offensive MVP as the Panthers’ quarterback, and B.C. Senior Bowl Wide Receiver MVP – he has already collected. He also knows those giants towering over him will be the same ones blocking for him on the field.

“Intimidating? At first, yes, but then you don’t really notice it, and then it’s just teammates. They’re really, really helpful, especially since I’m coming right out of high school.”

With calls from around 20 universities over the past year, Walker has visited campuses all over Canada. From Halifax in the east to SFU and UBC in the west, he’s been all over the map.

“What it came down to was I just got a feel for it,” said Walker, of the Huskies’ program. “U of S has been one of the best teams in Canada for many, many years and they have a very good reputation.

“Since the season ended, I’ve been doing workouts all over Canada, so it feels good to be with one team now.”

Walker will have the chance to get reacquainted with an old adversary – Adam Nesbitt. He quarterbacked the Seaton Sonics before redshirting as a receiver with the Huskies last season.

“I never really met him or knew him (in Vernon), but after spring camp, I’d say he’s a pretty good guy,” said Walker, of Nesbitt. “It’s good to have an honest opinion.”

Asked if Nesbitt had any advice for him coming to Saskatchewan, Walker laughed: “Bring a coat.”

Added Walker: “He’s kind of in a learning curve with me, too. It’s a tough haul coming out of high school and going into the CIS level like that.”

Whether Walker cracks the Huskies’ lineup, or opts to redshirt his first year, is still in the air, although he appears to be leaning towards the latter.

“I want to be great, both for myself and for my teammates,” said Walker. “I don’t want to be going out there not really knowing what I want to do and hurting my team in any way.

“I want to make sure I know the ropes a little bit better, and if that means redshirting... I’ll be happy to do that.”

Panthers’ head coach Tim Thorpe, who knows several Huskies alumni, believes Saskatchewan will be a good fit for Walker.

“Brian Towriss (head coach), is a phenomenal coach. Matt’s going to have fun out there for sure.

“There’s a chance he could play, and play a lot... if they give him a shot. The kid is right up there for being one of the most athletic kids I’ve ever coached. They’re lucky to have him.”

To help bolster the Panthers’ roster last season, Walker made a deal with several of his buddies, one he wasn’t sure he would enjoy that much.

“I got a couple of my friends to play football for us, and in return, I had to play basketball for them.

“It was kind of a trade, but I really enjoyed it. Obviously, I wasn’t that good. It was my first year of playing basketball, ever. I tried basketball skills in Grade 10 once, and pretty much got laughed at the whole time.

“I’m very bad at not being good at a sport. It definitely helped me because, coming into a sport where I’m not competing for one of the best players on the team, it helps put you into your place and puts things into perspective.”

Davies Chooses Queen's

It was a tough choice but Queen's University won out.....Blake Davies (West Vancouver High School) will be a Golden Gael this Fall.

Blake, one the highest recruited players coming out of BC this year, had visited several schools recently and after looking at all the pro's and con's he opted for an opportunity to attend and play for one of the premier universities in Canada.

"Queen's is such a great school and their football program has such a terrific reputation that, at the end of the day, it just seems like the right place for me." said Blake. "I'm looking forward to the challenge of competing for a starting spot within the next couple of years."

Congratulations Blake!

25th Annual Western Canadian All Star Camp

It seems like it was just yesterday that a fellow by the name of Larry Reda had an idea of holding a football camp in the summer at Simon Fraser University and now the camp is celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

The camp is now wholly owned by the football program at SFU but Larry, at 75 years of age, still plays a huge role as the General Manager.

"I'm so proud of what we have accomplished over the past 25 years," said Reda. "When I think of how many kids have come through this camp and gone on to great careers at university and professional teams all over North America it make my head swim!"

The camp has grown to such a size that it has become necessary to split the camp into a Junior Camp (11-14 yrs of age) and a Senior Camp (15 - 18 yrs of age) over a two-week period.

"From the perspective of our football program, the camps are just great." said Dave Johnson, Head Coach of the SFU Clansmen. "We get to spend two weeks doing what we love to do.....coach football with a bunch of great kids and other coaches from outside our staff.  It gives us a chance to give something back to the football community while connecting with players, coaches and parents and giving them an opportunity to experience the university environment.  Our coaches and players look forward the camps every year and I can't thank Larry Reda and Lou DesLauriers (SFU Camp Director/Defensive Coordinator) enough for all their efforts.....they make my job really easy."

The Camp Staff is led by Camp Head Coach Tom Kudaba (currently Head Coach at Terry Fox HS and SFU Alumnus) and features the SFU Coaching Staff augmented by coaches from  high school and community programs.

The Junior Camp runs from July 7 thru' July 11th and the Senior Camp runs from July 14 thru' 18th.

"Coach Towriss and his staff made me feel at home and gave me a realistic expectation of my future with the Huskies.  They have been recruiting me for a while and encouraged me to visit the other schools and so that at the end of the day I would make a good decision.  My head and heart tells me that the U of S is right for me.  I'm excited!"
