ECAC Northeast Bowl Champions


Congratulations to Coach Vosburgh, his players and coaches on winning the ECAC Northeast Bowl Championship! Despite the 20 degree weather, snow and winds gusting 20-25 mph, the team rose to the top in defeating a good 7-2 Husson team. Hats off to Tommy Hammell, the ECAC MVP, all of the seniors and underclassmen, for leading the team to victory. This game was a TOTAL TEAM EFFORT!
Thanks to the 25 or so parents who braved the winter conditions and made the trip to Bangor, Maine. Your voices were heard throughout the game and the players appreciated all of the support and the bags of goodies for their ride home.
Once again...there are no better parents than those whose sons play SJFC football! Thanks for the four great years of friendship!

Husson University...Here We Come!

We feel bad that the bus trip didn't come about as we ended up with less than 15 by the time Wednesday evening rolled around. However, to those who will be traveling the jaunt to Bangor, Maine to see our boys play for, some of us, the last time in Cardinal colors, let's hope and pray it is a safe one!
As Sarah and I wind down our four years of Cardinal football, we just can't believe the number of GREAT people we met --and now can call friends forever! It just seems like yesterday we brought our son to opening day, met Coach Vos and Coach Faggiano, and wished our son good luck! Believe us...enjoy every day...it goes by too fast!
The great times we had with all of you mirrors the type of families that are part of the rich tradition of Cardinal football at SJFC. Times like this are not measured by championships, NCAA appearances, wins, losses, snaps taken, catches, made games played or games not played. Cardinal football is about developing friendships....for our sons as well as the parents.
Thank you to all who supported the Fisher Tailgates, thanks to Tony Leone and the crew that built the foundation for our Tailgates back in 2002-2003...Thank You...they have been an integral part of the Fisher Football program.
Hopefully, the tailgates will continue and the SJFC Football Boosters that has been crafted this year will help to continue the great tradition for your sons.
We hope to see you in Bangor, Maine...THINK WARM.....if not...keep watching for the Banquet Information to come in late December. Also, we once again will be planning a pre-banquet Get-Together at The Landing in Fairport the night before the banquet as we did last and ALL of you will be invited.

I was able to make a deal with the Fairfield Inn-Marriott on 300 Oldin Road, Bangor, Maine, a short stay from the college for a room rate for King and Doubles at $89.00. When you call just say that you are with the SJFC Football Parent Booster Club. If yo have Marriott Award points you may ue them as well. The number there is 1-207-990-0001. I have a block of rooms bookd for both nights in case you don't want to make the drive back as well.
Just think...instead of dodging deer we can dodge caribou!!!!
