C TEAM (Jr Pee Wee) :  YAPM 13 - Olyphant 6  

Coach Jeff Krisiak,  "To say I am proud is an understatement! Our players again came up big when it mattered. With the Lions driving the ball down the field with time running out, we forced a turnover. We needed a big play and we got it. Now with the ball and only 38 seconds we had to drive almost the whole length of the field. We called a play looking  for 10-15 yards and came up with a touchdown! This team never quits. We talked all year long that it takes 4 quarters of  team football to have a chance to win. They also know that it takes 100% of effort and allot of hard work. Our guys now understand the goal and are now believing in each other that nothing can stop them. To be National League Champions was not easy. Our opponents played hard and continued to play aggressive football for all 4 quarters. As we move onto the Superbowl we still have work that needs to be done. We will prepare this week and will be ready to play on Sunday!!!!! Hats off to Olsbey with a long run for our 1st TD. Our offensive line did a great job blocking on the play and all game long. Our defensive guys were hitting hard all day long and came up big late. Jake Denninger came up with the fumble. One play later Daniel and Nate Stewart hooked up for the final score. Daniel came up with the extra point behind some great blocking again. We need to practice and work hard this week to be ready for the Superbowl."

B TEAM (Pee Wee):  YAPM  6 - Wayne Highlands 14

Coach Vince Orender, “What can I say! This was a fabulous year. These players have nothing to put their heads down about. They worked hard to get where they got.  This team is a special group. They accomplished much more then what was expected. With only 4 players returning from 2006 many football coaches would of predicted only 5 wins. This team earned respect as champions. If we would have the opportunity to spend 1 more year together as a team nobody, and I mean nobody, would stop us. However, that won't happen. We will have the opportunity to participate in The Mid-West Championships and I am confident this will ease the pain of our recent loss. Last year in 2006 we were in a similar position having the opportunity to play the Penn State junior football team and we beat their undefeated B team. This will be great if we go to Ohio and win a few games and earn some bragging rights.

   I wish all of my senior players the best. They should all remember what we accomplished as well as what we did not. If they remember our shortcomings, they will make every effort not to let it happen the rest of their careers. We all need to gain a learning experience when we fall short.  It is not the end of the world. We all need to correct where we failed and prevent it from happening again. This team I am confident will learn from our experience and later on in life us it to accomplish what their goals will be, which does not only have to pertain to sports but life in general.

   I wish the C team the best in their Superbowl. I am so proud of Jeff and his squad to overcome a few regular season losses and rally in the playoffs to beat 2 teams that put blemishes on their record. Jeff and the C team are really showing true characteristics of what champions are. I am confident they will go up to Dunmore and grab that trophy to bring back to the Poconos.  I am also excited to know these fine young players will come to me with the swagger of a champion. I will be honored to take these players and keep them in the champion fame of mind. Their goal will be to carry their winning attitudes to the next level and cherish their accomplishment for the rest of their playing days and the rest of their lives.”

I TEAM Scrimmage - YAPM vs Valley View Cougars.

Coach Joe Kopesky, “Well boys, it is all over, you all did an awesome job!!  I am so proud of this team.  Everybody learned the fundamentals of football and knew how to use them.  I want to thank all the assistant coaches, Dave Langdon, Mike Schrader and Jim DellaValle.  You were all an asset to this team and were the biggest help.  I am looking forward to your assistance next year.  I cannot wait to see all the players next season back on the field.  Here are the few things to remember, low man always wins, if everybody does their job and does it well, TOUCHDOWN.   Do well in school and be good and see you next season. YEAH BOY!”

C TEAM (Jr Pee Wee) :  YAPM 18 - Dunmore 12   (2 OT)

B TEAM (Pee Wee):  YAPM  45 - Olyphant  0

Coach Vince Orender, “The RED MACHINE has all bolts, screws, belts and all moving parts ready to go. We had a near perfect game on Sunday. DD St. Hill had 3 TDs Jessie Galeano 2 TDs and RJ Sarajian had a TD, 52 yds and the best game he played all season. Our Oline worked in perfect harmony. The Defense played as good as it gets and Mitchell Hauser did some great tackling.  We need to get ready for the Wayne Highland Stingers, they had a near perfect season until we upended them. They are one of the best teams in the league with a lot of weapons. We need to prepare for them and play the best game of our season Sunday. We need to be perfect with no mistakes.  I am so proud of our team and they deserve to go all the way. We will practice hard this week and leave nothing on the practice field.  We will bring everything we have to the game on Sunday.   I wish coach Jeff and his team the best come Sunday and go out there and earn the right to go the Superbowl. I also want to wish coach Roger the best and his team has a lot to be proud of with what they accomplished.  The Phase of the week is still "THERE ARE NO TOMORROWS" 123 GO RED MACHINE!”
