2008-08-10     New Team Website

I have created a new team website for the 2008 Teays Valley 8th Grade Football Team. I will use this website to post weekly (or daily) announcements. It is a very versatile site. I have included our 2008 schedule (with directions to the away fields we play at), a 2008 roster (names, # and position), an announcement link (where new information will be posted),  a coaches' bio page, an intercative calendar for August - October (just click on an event to get a detailed description), a player recognition page and also a page for each game we will play this year (PLEASE SEND  ANY PICTURES YOU TAKE OF THESE GAMES TO MY PROVIDED E-MAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN POST THEM ON THE SITE). There is also a  forum where you can discuss Teays Valley, Ohio State and NFL football (new topics can be added by you). Finally, be sure to sign the guestbook page and leave me any suggestions or comments you have about the site, I would really like to know what everyone thinks!

This win put the Vikings at 5 - 4 on the season. Alot of the credit goes to the Defense this week. This held one of the best running backs in the league to under his season average. Speaking of the best running back in the league, we may have him. Colton Foreman ran for 217 yards and broke the school rushing record friday night in 9 games. Colton would be the first one to say the credit should go to the Offensive line and Receivers. They have done a great job blocking at the line of scrimmage and down field all year.  

The senoirs last home game is this friday vs. Hamilton Township.

A great win over Circleville. Very good Defensive game by only giving up 7 points. Touchdowns scored by Zach Zace, Colton Foreman and Jake Pontius. Alot of credit is given to the offensive line for opening big holes for the running backs. Colten Foreman finished the game with 252 yards.

Friday nights game was a good team win. The defense stepped up and played well and offense did a good job controlling the ball. This week we take on the Logan Elm Braves. They are undefeated at 6 and 0.

A very good win after a disappointing week 2. We had 2 players with over 100 yards each. Great job O-Line. The Defensive also did a great job forcing 2 INT's. Now the team is entering the league schedule this week. The Vikings will start out with Canal Winchester.

The varsity football team started the 2008 season off on the right foot Friday night at Westfall. The final score was 35  to 14. It was a truly a team effort. Great Job!

The 8th grade football team closed its season with a 43-6 victory over Circleville. The Vkings finished the year at 6-1, but came 1 point short (and one and a half yards short) of being MSL Champions.  The Vikings settled in after shaking off the lag of the bus trip down and giving up the first score of the game. Though the Tigers scored first, the Vikings struck back relentlessly with 43 unanswered points. The Vikes got standout performances from Jacob Betts, Nik Schiff, Tyler Mosier, Jacob Wissinger and Owen Dorsey offensively. Defensively, the middle school gridders were led by Joey Quickle, Travis Hedge, Jesse Younkin, Brandon Wright, Keegan Irwin and Corey Mullens. Teays Valley also got great play from Nick Taylor, Brandon Reeves, Kyle Willis, Lane Hedrick, Tyler Davis and Ian Pritchard. The Vikings were happy to see every member of the team get field time and finished their incredible year in the exact fashion they hoped for. The 8th grade team would like to thank its incredible fans, parents and supporters for being behind us 100% this year. It is you that makes our seasons so special and we look forward to providing you with great football in the next few years.

The 8th grade pigskinners made quick and easy work of the Logan Elm Braves on Tuesday night. The Vikings held a comfortable 28-0 lead at halftime and went on to score two more times to run their point total to 40. Teays Valley was led by quarterback Jacob Betts, fullback Keegan Irwin, wide receiver Tyler Mosier (who had over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns) and a strong offensive line. The starting 11 of the Vikings defense gave up nary a point, and held the Braves to little, if not zero, offensive yards in the first half. Many of the Vikings starters were fans during the second half, as the Viking reserves put two more scores on the Braves and allowed three scores to the opposition. It was a great team effort and all players got an opportunity to contribute and make their presence felt on the field. It was an honor for 8th graders to win the last middle school football game to ever be played at Viking Stadium. The 8th grade team will look to improve to 6-1 next week when they take on Circleville Everts.

The 8th grade team took its record to 4-1 by defeating the Bulldogs of Bloom Carroll under the lights Monday night. The Vikings were well prepared for the "spread" offense that was thrown at them by Bloom Carroll and has been allowing the Bulldogs to average over 30 points this year, by limiting Bloom Carroll to only one touchdown. The Viking defense was led by the strong play of defensive tackle Derrick Adkins, nose guard Derek Vaughn, cornerback Buddy Hill, defensive end Dominic Bourne and linebacker Joey Quickle, who harrassed the Bulldogs QB all night. Owen Dorsey also contributed an interception. The Viking offense was paced by the able arm and legs of QB Jacob Betts, fullback Keegan Irwin, wide receiver Brandon Wright and wide receiver Tyler Mosier, who hauled in an 87 yard touchdown catch. It was a total team effort and the Vikes met every goal they set out to meet on the evening. The 8th grade gridiron gang welcomes the Braves of Logan Elm next Tuesday for their final home game of the 2008 campaign. The Vikings would like to invite all their fans, parents, friends and teachers to come out and watch them take their last home victory of the season!

The Vikings made the short trek to Canal Winchester and handed the Indians their first loss of the year, as well as the first loss ever on their brand new field. The Vikings improved to 2-1 and now have their eyes firmely set on repeating as MSL Buckeye Divison Champions. The offense was led by Tyler Mosier with one receiving touchown (thrown by Jacob Betts on a beautiful flag route), Jacob Betts with one rushing touchdown and Keegan Irwin with a rushing touchdown. Irwin also converted 2 of 3 PATs. Brandon Wright also contributed an awesome leaping catch for 34 yards in the opening half of play, which led to a Viking touchdown that was questionably called back for holding. The Vikings seem to be a favorite target of the referee's yellow flags this year when scoring touchdowns, as they have had three touchdowns in three games called back. The defense was led by the strong play of defensive end Corey Mullens, linebacker Brandon Wright and cornerback Jacob Betts. Tyler Mosier picked off two more passes (which gives him three on the year) and Wessley Call also ballhawked an opponent's pass for the INT. The Vikings will welcome Fairfield Union to Viking Stadium next Tuesday and are looking to hand them a lopsided loss and move to 3-1 on the year. The Vikings would once again like to thank their dedictaed fans, parents and friends for cheering us on and giving us the motivation and spirit to rise and conquer. "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."
