To a Season Well Done

Written By: Recreation Specialist, David Kieffer

Now that PAC’s 2013 Football/Cheer season is over, a short recap of its successful nature is in order. The program had 76 youth participants, spread between Flag Football, Tackle Football, and the Cheer Team. Practices began on August 19th and ran through the last football game on October 19th.

Program athletes practiced twice a week, and had one game per week beginning in week three. The Cheer squad provided consistent support for the football teams as they battled all season, both at in-house games, and those with Big Piney and Jackson’s youth football programs, all with amazing success.

To culminate the 2013 Tackle Football season, the 4th and 5th graders combined into one team to play 11-player games with Big Piney and Jackson.

Big Piney traveled to Pinedale this year on Thursday, October 10th, where the Pinedale volunteer coaches had the challenge of combining four individual teams into one cohesive unit. A positive experience was had by all, and the Pinedale Jr Wranglers came out victorious, beating Big Piney 26-0.

The next week, on Saturday, October 19th, the same team traveled to Jackson for the first ever meeting with Jackson’s youth football team. The Jr. Wranglers kept the momentum going, and beat Jackson 38-6.

The final two wins were great accomplishments for the players and coaches of the program, and will provide encouragement for those K-3rd grade football players to STICK WITH IT, and remember, The Future Starts with YOU!

PAC would like to thank all those who had a part in this year’s season, and the great leadership and sportsmanship they displayed. It takes a collaborative effort from the players, coaches, parents, officials, and all supporting individuals to make a season like this run!

Cheer Team: Tara Barnes and Stephanie Kervitsky
