In the 12-14 Girls division the NSFFL Jets lead by 3rd year QB
Taylor Dabney were playing against a record 7 other girls teams
from around the area. In the girls first game they played
against the East Yonkers girls from NY, the girls had a nervous
start but managed to score first, however the Yonkers girls came
back quickly to tie the game 6-6. The score by the Yonkers girls
seemed to get the North Shore girls going as they quickly scored
back to back TD's before the half. In the second half the girls
didnt let up one TD as they managed to win the game 25-6 to get
off to a good start. After a 2 hour break the girls went up
against Team Revolution of NJ and before the half was even over
the NSFFL girls were down 12-0, after some frustrating
officiating and confusion the girls were all in disarray. The
NSFFL boys that were watching on the sidelines all left, it
looked like the game was over but at the half coach Alvin calmed
the girls down and got them re focused one play at a time. The
girls managed to put up a TD to bring it back to 12-6 and then
on the next drive an interception by Taylor Dabney brought the
team to the 2 yrd line where they managed to punch in to tie the
game. On the extra point the Revolution went offside giving the
NSFFL girls half the distance to the goal line, but then the
Revolution went offside again, giving the girls the ball at the
1 yrd line, they managed to get it in to go ahead 13-12, the
defense then stepped up and managed to stop the revolution on
their next drive and after taking a knee the NSFFL Jets kept
their hopes alive after winning 13-12. We went and told the boys
that we came back to win and they couldnt believe it. The final
game was against last years runner up the NJFFA girls from NJ.
The NSFFL Jets girls played well but could not get a rhythm
going on offense, they would have a nice play for good yardage
but then false start or go offside. The NJFFA girls were much
older and more experienced and it showed as they moved the ball
down field and scored twice before the half. In the second half
nothing much was working for either team but the 2 TD's earlier
proved to be the difference as the NJFFA girls won the game 13-0
and went on to win the Championship game. The girls finished 3rd
out of 8 and proved they could play with the best of them, the
MVP for the team for the 3rd year in a row was Taylor Dabney.
Congrats to all the girls as they played hard and never gave up.

The 9-11 division had a unprecedented 40 teams from PA, NJ, NY,
CT, NH, MA, OH, RI, there were 10 groups of 4 teams. The only
way to get to the play-offs was to win out your group which
typically means going undefeated!!! The NSFFL Patriots had been
waiting for this one for a long time as they lost out in the
semi-finals last year and were determined to go further this
year. The Patriots also entered the Gillette stadium football
festival tournament last June and made it all the way to the
Championship game against Mo Steel from Miami but the lightening
storm prevented the game from happening. The team made up of the
best players from Danvers, Peabody, Salem and Lynn have been
scrimmaging and practicing getting ready for the qualifier and
were as ready as they ever would be and with only 3 players
returning next year due to age eligibility this was the year it
had to get done. The team checked in at the NY Jets practice
facility at 7am and had to wait until 10:30am for their first
game against the GTFF Eagles. All the games for the 9-11
division were played on the indoor turf field at the practice
facility. The NSFFL Patriots looked very fast and confident as
they defeated the GTFF Eagles 27-0 and without giving up a first
down. The second game of the day was at 1pm where they faced a
good NJFFA Rams team with some boys that looked tall enough to
be in the 12-14 division, nevertheless the Patriots took care of
business and shut out the Rams 19-0, after the second game the
team started to draw some attention as other coaches and
referees started making comments about how fast and organized
the team looked. In the final game of the round robin at 3:30pm
the the Jets went up against the AYYA team who had already lost
a game but were looking to upset the Patriots. It didnt happen
as the Patriots again didnt give up a first down and defeated
the AYYA team 28-0.
Heading into the playoffs and waiting for the final games to
finish the Patriots were poised for 2nd or 3rd ranking depending
on how other results went as the #1 NJ Panthers also didnt give
up a TD and scored more points that the Patriots. In the end the
Patriots got the #2 ranking after the CT Big Blue gave up a
safety to push them to the #3 spot. In the playoffs even the #10
team was unbelievable and the Patriots watched as #10 played #7.
The #10 YYFFA team from Ohio won the game and after a short
break went on to face our #2 Patriots. The YYFFA team scored the
first TD against the Patriots all day but the play of QB Jordan
McaFee and WR/DB Devonn Allen took over the game as the Patriots
beat out the YYFFA 33-6. In the other quarter final game the #6
Red Storm from NH defeated the #3 Big Blue from CT 7-0 to
advance. The Red Storm team from the NHFFL started several years
ago and have been to the Nationals before after winning the
Buffalo qualifier in 2008, last year in the regional they
defeated the NSFFL Patriots in the semi-final and narrowly lost
7-6 in the finals. Both teams are familiar with each other as
they play each other a lot in competitions and scrimmages and
the NSFFL has always been on the short end of the stick so to
speak. The coaches felt if they could defeat the Red Storm they
would be able to win the whole thing as psychologically this was
a tougher match up. Both teams played hard and fair and the Red
Storm held the Patriots to their lowest score of the day but in
the end it was enough as the NSFFL Patriots shut out the boys
from NH 20-0 to advance to the Championship game. 11 hours after
registering the Patriots were matched up against the #1 NJ
Panthers, what was once a packed complex was down to just a few
parents and supporters, the game was very tight and tense but
the Patriots went up first making it 6-0, then on the Panthers
next drive Devon Allen ran an interception back for a TD and
after converting on the extra point the Pats were up 13-0 and
feeling confident, however you could tell the Panthers were in
the championship for a reason as they never gave up and came
back to score to make it 13-6. The last few minutes were nerve
racking for everyone but when it mattered the kids kept it
together and had one final stop on Defense to give the offense
the ball back and the opportunity to take a knee and win the
game.
The celebrations were awesome as the coaches, kids and parents
errupted onto the field, the long day didnt seem so long any
more as the kids went to receive their unique football trophies.
Everyone was thanked for their efforts and now the kids are full
of excitement for the trip to the National Tournament of
Champions in Disneys Wide World of sports complex in Florida.
The team will compete against 7 other teams from across the
country in an effort to be National Champions, the games will be
aired on ESPN and NFL Network (TBA).
The MVP for the team and the tournament was Devn Allen, who made
some of the most spectacular catches for TD's and interceptions
you will ever see in this age division, Devonn ignited his team
and made everyone play better. Congratulations to the NSFFL
Patriots for winning the NY JETS regional!!!

The combined record of all three teams was 12-2 and with two 3rd
place and one 1st place finish out of 80 teams the NSFFL
players, coaches and parents can be proud of their achievements,
but not just on the field, we have good kids first and good
players second. Win or loose we make sure the league and our
region are represented well. These were two e-mails the league
received the day after the tournament.
Congrats to your 9-11 team. Very happy for your organization.
Please keep the tradition of representing the New England area
well. Your a class act best of luck....see you at Gillette!

It was good to see you, your coaches and your team enjoying the
celebration after winning the championship. All of you have
always been a class act -- and when we couldn't walk away with
the prize, it was satisfying to see that you did. I hope you can
keep the momentum going and bring home the national title.

Thanks again to everyone that made this happen from the Parents
to the coaches and especially the kids. We are looking forward
to raising some money for the kids and getting started on
practicing to bring home a national title!! |
