2008 2008 Bobcat of the Week
"BOBCAT OF THE WEEK" Week 10 (FINAL) Bobcats of the Week!
Week 9 Bobcats of the Week! 8's: Caleb Guildner - "Caleb started out as a back-up linebacker and has now moved into a starting defensive role, where he has become a hard-nosed, hard-hitting defensive tackle who will put the hurt on anyone lined up in front of him. He shows up to every practice on time and ready to go. In our game against Hyland Hills Saturday, Caleb had at least four solo tackles and numerous assists; he also stepped up for us on offense and played tight-end, where he made several key blocks allowing us to run on the perimeter for about three of our touchdowns. Way to go, Caleb, keep up the hard work!" - Coach Shea
Shown with cakes for each team, made by Rebecca Coors: Week 7 Bobcats of the Week! 8's: Buck Coors - "Buck is probably the smallest kid on our team, yet he hits like he is one of the biggest. He comes out day-in and day-out and puts forth more than enough effort to get the job done. This was never more apparent than during our game last Saturday against Brighton. Buck had more than enough legitimate reasons to not be at the game, yet he came out with his fearless attitude and gave 100% without a single complaint. Way to be a warrior, Buck!" - Coach Shea
8's: Nathan Uribes - "Nathan shows up day in and day out and gives 100% effort whenever he is asked to do something. At the beginning of the season we could barely get him to hit, now there is no stopping him. Nathan will lower his pads and hit anyone near him, even a 9-year-old!" - Coach Shea Week 5 Bobcats of the Week! 8's: Dominic Esters - "We gave a lot of consideration to our decision this week; we had a lot of guys that definitely deserved this award. However, Dominic stood out above the rest. After trailing 12 - 0 at halftime against Carbon Valley, Dominic stepped it up and rushed for two touchdowns in the second half! This, as well as his outstanding play on defense, helped lead the 8-year-olds to VICTORY!" - Coach Coors
12's: Tyler Eilers - "Tyler comes to every practice with a lot of intensity, pushing the other players to work harder. Tyler was our Tight End, but due to the lack of size on our offensive line, we moved him to Tackle. Tyler is doing a great job at this position filling his blocking assignments. Good job, Tyler - keep up the intensity!" - Coach Archuleta 11's: Cameron Turner - "Cameron has really turned up the intensity this year, doing a great job at Defensive Tackle. Since day-one this year, Cameron has been doing everything the coaches have asked of him and more. Through his hard work, he has become a dominating presence in the middle of the defense. He is the model teammate, always patting someone on the back, never putting others down. It's great to have Cameron a part of the team!" - Coach Platt 10's: Raven Chacon - "Raven played through bruised ribs all week at practice and during our game on Saturday. With all the injuries we've had this year, Raven sacrificed himself for his team. He ran for a 31-yard touchdown, caught a 23-yard touchdown pass, and returned a punt for a touchdown. An unbelievable effort and sacrifice for his team. Thanks, Raven!" - Coach Sutak 9's: Adrian Naranjo - "All eyes on #38! Watch him explode underneath a defender's pads and drive him out of the way. Adrian's hard work in the trenches makes him an easy choice for Bobcat of the Week. We're watching!" - Coach Sadoff 8's: Matthew Shannon - "Great effort, day in and day out. One of our most improved players. Matthew has a fantastic attitude and is a lot of fun to coach!" - Coach Coors Week 3 Bobcats of the Week! 8's: Von Bach - "Von's improvement this season has been nothing short of amazing. He listens to the coaches, knows his plays, and gives 100% effort at practice. He has put in considerable practice at home sharpening his skills. All this has translated to success on the field with several solid runs and an interception last Saturday!" - Coach Coors 9's: Eric Gambon - "Eric is Captain of our Defense at Middle Linebacker, as well as Captain of our Offense at Fullback. He is always helping and instructing teammates when they need it. Eric is an outstanding athlete and a great competitor. Keep it up!" - Coach Sadoff 10's: Dominic Montoya - "Dominic fulfilled all of his blocking assignments during last week's game. His defensive ability has improved tremendously since the beginning of the year. He has exceptional strength in special teams. Great job Dominic!" - Coach Sutak 11's: Grant Kauvar - "Grant has worked very hard, in practice and the games, at becoming the best Cornerback he can be. Saturday, Grant was beat by the wide receiver but he never put his head down. He listened to coaches and corrected his technique, and two plays later he came down with the game-clinching interception against Brighton. Great job Grant!" - Coach Platt 12's: Shea Weidman - "Shea is the Offensive Center and Defensive Tackle. He has been playing with the Bobcats for four years. He is a hard worker in practice and on game day. Shea is the type of player that can lead his teammates by example. He is always joking, keeping it fun. Good job Shea!" - Coach Archuleta
8's: Mac Post - "Mac is the ultimate warrior in practice and in games. Mac always brings leadership and tenacity. He spent the whole game in Erie's backfield and was our best defensive player!" - Coach Coors 9's: Anthony Losasso - "Tough as nails kid, who practiced and played with a fractured lower leg to stay on the field to help our team. This kid has the spirit of a warrior and the courage to fight in battle!" - Coach Sadoff 10's: Tevin Borrego (Not pictured) - "Tevin is the epitome of Bobcat Football! One Hundred percent every play, and tough as steel. He always draws double-teams and sometimes triple-teams. Way to go Tank!" - Coach Sutak 11's: Ben Platt - "Ben is the ultimate team player who goes hard every practice. During the game, he stepped up from his Tight End position when our Running Back got injured. Subsequently, he demolished and punished the Hyland Hills defense!" - Coach Platt 12's: Kyle Taudien - "This is Kyle's first year with the Bobcats. He practices real hard and never slacks at the drills we're doing. He is a sure tackler. In Saturday's game against Hyland Hills, Kyle had a sack for about an 8-yard loss; next play he intercepted a pass and returned it for about a 40-yard gain, to help the 12-year-olds to a 26 to 16 victory. Good job Kyle!" - Coach Archuleta Week 1 Bobcats of the Week! 8's: Gabe Faraca - "Gabe has displayed leadership both in practice and in our first game. He recovered a kick-off, got a safety, and made numerous tackles from his strong side linebacker position. His dominant performance and experience has set the bar high for the rest of the team. Keep up the good work, Gabe!" - Coach Coors 9's: Matthew Axelrod - "Hustle, leadership, and focus help put Axelrod to the top of our list for Bobcat of the Week!" - Coach Sadoff 10's: Jake L'Heureux - "Jake is always busting his butt in practice, and has earned a starting spot because of it. Way to go, Jake!" - Coach Sutak 11's: Colton Burgesser - "Colton was outstanding this weekend, snapping the ball in the shotgut formation and blocking in the middle the entire game. The Bobcats ran over 55 offensive plays, all from the shotgun, against Superior and we had zero muffed snaps. Colton worked very hard during and after practice the last two weeks to improve his snaps and the outcome was awesome. Colton takes great pride being the Center for the Bobcats. He made the offense go. Congratulations Colton!" - Coach Platt 12's: Orlando Castillo - "This young man has been playing with the Bobcats for about three to four years. But it wasn't until this season that he came to a completely different level of play. He's hitting and tackling like he was on a mission. He has been playing like a big-time player and is a big part of this team's success!" - Coach Archuleta |
