Week 10 - Provincials

STEELERS ARE THE TIER 3 PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS!!
Our season has now come to a VICTORIOUS end! The Steelers have gone as far as they possibly could go, winning the Tier 3 Provincial Championship along the way! The visiting Calgary Bulldogs, came into town to meet our league Champions, and gave the Steelers a great challenge for the Provincial crown.

The first quarter was a defensive battle. Once again the Steeler defense worked hard as one unit, firing on all cylinders, and showed the Bulldogs that they were a force to be reckoned with. The quarter ended in a scoreless tie, with the Steelers in possession with a first down.

In the second quarter, quarterback Ben Pasiuk, handed off to Jesse Helmer, who ran up the middle for a gain of 4 yards. Pasiuk then attempted a pass to Gordie Walls, but the ball fell short for an incompletion, and 3rd & 6. The next play saw receiver, Zach "Chicken" Morgan, go long and he grabbed a perfect pass from Pasiuk, for a 33 yard pass reception, and a first down in Bulldogs territory. Then Pasiuk went back to Helmer, for an 8 yd run to 2nd & 2. Graydon "Monster" Perrott then took the ball from Pasiuk, and ran to the outside, where he was tackled, and taken out of bounds at the Bulldogs 15 yd line. However, on the tackle, the Bulldogs defender was penalized for a facemask, and the ball was spotted on the Bulldogs 1 yard line. Pasiuk then went to Monster for the carry, and he punched it in for the touchdown. Owen "Smitty" Smith then kicked the conversion for two more points. Both teams went back and forth, with no big gains, until a Steeler 3rd & 11, on the Bulldogs 42 yd line. The Steelers punted away, with the Bulldogs number 55 receiving the ball. He was run down to the outside of the field, where he somehow broke back towards the middle. The Steelers defense was taken by surprise, as the runner made a break for the opposite corner in the Steeler end, where he made another quick fake on a Steeler defender. Then he had nothing but open field for the last 20 yards, and ran in for the touchdown, with the runback totaling 84 yards. The Bulldogs kicker then made good on the conversion kick. At the end of the quarter, it was a tie game at 8-8.

In the third quarter, the Steelers defense came to the realization that if they wanted to win this game, that they could not allow any more mistakes, like the one that resulted in the Bulldogs touchdown. So, they came out with a renewed determination. The Steelers offense, also showed that they wanted the win more than anything else. They went back to work almost immediately. With a first down on their own 49 yard line, Helmer ran up the middle for a 4 yard gain. Pasiuk then handed of to Monster, who ran for 5 more yards for 3rd & 1, on the Bulldogs 53 yard line. On the next play, Pasiuk could not find the intended runner, in a bobbled hand off attempt. He then called his own number, and made his way to the outside. Kayden "BBQ" Hall, then made an incredible block, which opened up the field for Pasiuk to run to the Bulldogs endzone for a 53 yard touchdown run.

The Bulldogs then showed some life after the ensuing kickoff. They were finally able to get a little bit of their run game going, with a few good gains, and a couple of first downs. However, they fumbled the ball, and lost possession with the Steelers recovering on their own 9 yard line. The Steeler offense was unfortunately not able to move the ball from their own end, and gave the ball back to the Bulldogs, on the Steelers 11 yard line. Pinned deep, the Steeler defense came back in. The Bulldogs, number 22 carried the ball to the Steeler 1 yard line for a first down. Then the defense showed why they were so feared all season. The Bulldogs, went again to number 22, and he was stopped cold for no gain for 2nd & goal. Then the Steelers pushed the Bulldogs back for a loss of one on the next carry, for 3rd & goal. With a touchdown in their grasp, the Bulldogs went once more to number 22, where he met a wall of Steelers defenders, and came up short of the score. The defense had done the nearly impossible, and shut down the Bulldogs, with an amazing goal line stand! The offense took over, and made a run, then the quarter ended....16-8.

The fourth quarter, once again saw a defensive battle. Both teams went back and forth, and play was very tight, with few mistakes by either team. With less than a minute to play, the Steelers were in possession on 3rd down, and made a fumble. The ball bounced through the legs of a Bulldogs defender as he attempted to pick it up, and another Bulldog just missed it as well. Smitty was finally able to pounce on the loose ball, saving what would have likely been a Bulldogs touchdown, as the only other players near were wearing gold jerseys. The ball turned over to the Bulldogs. As the clock wound down, the crowd was on their feet. The Bulldogs made a short gain, then another, and the whistle blew with 0.3 seconds left. The Bulldogs had one more play to go. If they could make good on the last pass, and score, it would force the game into overtime. The Bulldogs quarterback took the snap, and dropped back. As he was looking for his intended receivers, his pass protection began to break down. He scrambled back a little more, as Bryce "Pinky" Maki chased him down. The quarterback then brought back his arm, looking to make his pass. Just then, Pinky grabbed jersey, and spun the Bulldogs quarterback around, hauling him to the field. With that tackle, the game was sealed, and the Steelers were the champs!!

What an end to such an exciting game, and season! Congratulations to all the boys who played their hearts out all year! Good luck to the veterans who are moving on in their football careers! Thank you to the coaches who have invested so much time, and effort into teaching our boys this great game! One more thank you, to the parents who have let their boys be a part of something so special! We will hopefully see ALL of our rookies next year, as they come back to defend their championship!! GO STEELERS!!!

Week 9

THE RED DEER STEELERS ARE THE 2009 CENTRAL PEE WEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!

With the sun shining bright, the fall weather was perfect for today's game at Great Chief Park. The visiting Olds Huskies, came to town to meet the Steelers, with the League Championship on the line. Both teams proved that they were more than worthy to play in this game, but the Steelers prevailed in the end, with a final score of 24-0!

The first and second quarters, were definitely the best defensive, and exciting quarters of the entire season. The Steelers, and the Huskies hammered on each other, with neither team really taking any ground. The Steelers' defense was amazing! With the exception of one sack, coming early in the second, there was no real standout play or standout player, because they were working so cohesively together, and moving as one unit. On offense, quarterback Ben Pasiuk, once again used all his offensive weapons, yet the scoreboard remained empty when the horn sounded to end the half. It was turning out to be an exciting defensive showdown!

In the third quarter, the Huskies' received the kickoff. On the first play of the drive, linebacker Jesse Helmer, hammered the Huskies' running back in the backfield, putting Olds to 2nd & 15, on their own 35 yd line. On the next play, the Huskies then fumbled the ball, and the Steelers recovered on the Olds 31. Then Pasiuk, and his troops went back to work. "Monster" Perrot ran for 7 yds, then another 2, to make 3rd & 1, at the Huskies' 22 yd line.

Pasiuk again handed off to "Monster" who ran up the gut, to gain the first down on the Huskies' 16. Then Pasiuk mixed up the offense, and went with "Smitty" Smith, who carried 7 yds, for 2nd & 3. "Monster" then ran up the middle, for first & goal on the 2 yd line. Within striking distance, Pasiuk moved them up to 2nd down and a short 1. Again, "Monster" took the ball, and rumbled in for the first score of the game. "Smitty" put the magic green shoes to use, and the conversion kick was good. On the kickoff Olds fumbled the return, which was recovered by the Steelers. Then on the ensuing drive, the Huskies once again put up some excellent defense, effectively shutting down the Steelers, taking over on their own 30 yd line. Then Olds made some costly mistakes, first by taking a 10 yd holding penalty. Then the running back, #9, was taken down in the backfield, by "Wee-man" Burzuk, for another 10 yd loss, to make 2nd & 30, on their own 10 yd marker. In desperation, the Huskies' quarterback pitched to #33, who aired out a long pass, which was intercepted by Gordie Walls, who took it back to the Huskies' 30 yd line. With the Steelers still in possession, the quarter ended with the Steelers on 2nd & 6....score 8-0.

The fourth quarter is where the Huskies began to unravel. Pasiuk connected with "Chicken Legs" Morgan, for a 30 yd TD pass, and "Smitty" made good on the conversion. With the Huskies in possession, the Steelers' defense knocked them back for two consecutive losses of yds, making it 3rd & 15 on the Olds 37 yd line. The Huskies punted the ball away, with a really good kick, but "Wee-man" returned it, somehow breaking numerous tackles, and was finally stopped on his own 41. The next drive saw the Steelers make a couple of carries then a fumble, which Olds recovered. The Huskies took the ball, and made a gain of 7 yds, but were then were hit for a loss of 10 yds. Then "Smitty" intercepted a pass, and ran it back to the Olds 42 yd line. The Huskies' defense then shut down the Steelers offense, who punted with Olds receiving the kick, for no gain on their own 20. The Steelers' defense were just too much for the tiring Huskies. They were again pushed back for big losses, for 3rd & 18, and they tried to go to #33 for a run, but he was stopped cold on their own 26 yd line. On the next Steelers' drive, Helmer ran up the middle for 7 yds, then again for 8 more to the Huskies' 12.

Pasiuk then made a pitch to "Monster", who broke a tackle and found some room on the outside, but was pushed out of bounds at the Olds 5 yd marker, for 2nd and 2. Helmer then punched in the TD from there, and "Smitty" once again made good on the conversion. The Huskies took the kickoff, but their drive was stopped dead with another Steelers interception. The Steelers then ran the clock out on the Huskies, proving who the best team in the league was, and advancing into the Tier 3 Provincial final next Saturday!!!

Thanks to all the Parents, Grandparents, other family and friends, who came out to VERY enthusiastically cheered on our boys!!

Week 8

RED DEER HORNETS
A gut wrenching 32-0 loss to the Steelers thoroughly dashed the Red Deer Hornets play-off hopes. The sun filled fall day seemed to mock them as they fought to overcome the flu and several injuries. The Steelers proved to be worthy opponents and we wish them good luck in their next game. I am determine to keep my last write up short and sweet. So it is with a heavy heart that I bid farewell to all players moving on next year. I also hope that the next season is as exciting and rewarding as this one has been. Standing ovations and great big thank you's must be given out to all volunteers who silently helped the season run smoothly. The Hornets team manager Tammy MacDonald must be at the top of that list for our team. I hope to see all of you next season and wish everyone good fortune in the coming year. Go Hornets!!

STEELERS ADVANCE TO LEAGUE FINAL!!
With a final score of 32-0, the Steelers advance to the league finals with the convincing defeat of the previously undefeated Hornets. The game initially proved to be a very close battle, with both teams going without a score in the first quarter of play.

The Steelers then opened the scoring in the 2nd with a 60 yd drive, led by quarterback Ben Pasiuk, using most of his offensive weapons. The drive was finally capped of with a TD run by "Smitty" Smith, who also made good on the conversion. The defense, led by "Pinky" Maki, and "Doc" Jonasson, contained the Hornets running game to being virtually non-existent. Defensive linemen, "Vitamin C" Godden, and "Ray-Ray" Seewalt, broke open the Hornets 0-line, allowing Jesse Helmer to smash through, and sack the Hornets QB, causing a huge turnover on the Hornets 42 yd line. On the ensuing play "Smitty" found running room on the outside, and went in for a42 yd strike, and again made good on the conversion. The half ended with a score of 24-0.

The 3rd quarter again saw some excellent defense with a turnover on the Hornets 42 yd line on 3rd down. Then the Steelers offense then went to work once again! "Monster" Perrot ran the ball 20 yd down field but had half his yardage taken away because of a penalty after the play, and in true Steelers fashion, the boys did not let that bother them! On the next two plays, they continued to move the sticks down field, deep into Hornet territory, within 16 yd if the goal. Then Pasiuk handed the ball to "Monster", and he rumbled like a freight train over Hornet defenders, ending the drive with another score. "Smitty" then made good, again, with his magic green shoes, and kicked the conversion...32-0

In the 4th quarter, The Steelers D proved to be far too much for a Hornets team that seemed to be running out of gas. The Steelers held them to very little yardage until the dying seconds of the game. In a last ditch effort to get on the board, the Hornets QB aired one out, and their receiver showed some great hands, to make a difficult catch! He streaked down field, and came within striking distance of the Steelers goal line, but was caught by two Steelers, who were just that much quicker than he. Alas, it turned out to be the last play of the game, as the clock ran out on a hard fought battle at Great Chief Park! A HUGE Thank you to all the parents, friends, and family who came out to cheer our boys!!

Next up for the Steelers... THE LEAGUE FINAL!!!... A first for any Red Deer Pee Wee Team!

LET'S GO STEELERS!!

Week 7

STETTLER PANTHERS CAGED BY RED DEER STEELERS IN 56-0 SHUTOUT!
The Steelers took to the field @ Great Chief Park for another great day of football and teamwork. #21 Owen Smith opened up the game with the 1^st of a schwack of touchdowns. #68 Cole Godden recovered an early fumble on the play and later went on to show us how the big boys tackle, wearing the Panthers down relentlessly. The Steeler D-Line remained consistent and totally strong with some solid work. Having one of his best games of the season so far was #17, Jesse Helmer who was outstanding; showing us how he likes to multi-task with good tackling, a touchdown run in the 2^nd quarter AND an awesome 45 yard punt in the 4^th!! Also having solid games this day were Lane Ganson, “Rocket” Ryan Leenstra, #62 Chase Harrison and #72 “J-dub”.Williams. Our #43 River “Doc” Jonasson laid down some solid hits during the game, also going on to make an “all of the sudden” interception in the 2^nd quarter!. Red Deer totally owned the rest of the game with Smitty and Pasiuk running in a 45 and a 46 yard touchdown respectively. Ultimately, the O-line ran fast, ducked and weaved, rocked and rolled and generally played hard today. Nice one guys! The Steelers continue to show us just how well they can play and just what they can do as a TEAM!!!!   GO GREEN!

Some tips for the big game next Saturday… tune up the horns, polish up those bells, buy ear plugs for the young ones, gargle with salt water daily to keep the vocal cords limber, dig out those extra large cans of “RAID”(!) and be prepared to cheer our men on LOUD AND PROUD!!!! GO STEELERS!!

HORNETS CAP OFF PERFECT SEASON!!
The buzzer has sounded for the Red Deer Hornets final regular season game. Their 24-0 win over the visiting Sylvan Lake Bears solidified their number one ranking within the division. An impressive 7-0 record became a reality with Cody Paish #5 as wide receiver and Karsten Burton #61 snapping the ball. Both the Hornets offensive and defensive lines would not have been complete without #67 Jared Ferguson's untiring dedication. We also hope to see Aric Dunn #41 return to the line from the injured list. The Bears defense fought hard but Cameron Brown #25, Amren Curtis #36, Sam Vesely #21 and Matthew Brischuk #11 all managed to enter enemy territory and score. The entire defense including Jameel Emery #43, Kade Damant #64 and Tanner Olstad # 10 should take pride in their 3rd straight shutout. Head Coach Corey Pusey along with asst. coaches, Brad Olstad, Duane Brown, Rob Mackie, Robin Curtis and Brad Vonkeman have spent a lot of time and energy turning the Hornets into a winning machine. Taking the liberty to speak for all the parents and players; our thanks and gratitude goes out to all the coaches for a job well done. The first playoff game will be a rematch against the Red Deer Steelers and if the first game was any indication it should be a good one. Go Hornets!!

Week 6

HORNETS STING STETTLER TO IMPROVE TO 6 - 0!!!
Float like a butterfly sting like a Hornet! Saturday's face-off between the Hornets and the Panthers ended with a 44 - 0 win for the visiting Hornets, scoring points on offence, defence and special teams. #36 Amren "FT" Curtis made several key runs, tackles and scored his first touch down of the season. Whoever said a Hornet only stings once? All of #3 Nathan Bergeson's hard work paid off putting 8 extra points up on the score board, with 4 out of 6 successful convert kicks. #12 T.K Kunaka, #72 Troy Stan and #63 Tim Eleason were the keys to the offensive lines ability to move the ball so thoroughly. Tackles by #68 Brayden Posterski, #39 Keegan MacDonald, #37 Lane Lyke, #65 Jayden "Sherman" Vonkeman and #25 Cameron Brown left welts that the Panthers won't soon forget. Next week the Hornets are on their home turf, a word to the wise to the visiting Bears, don't poke the Hive. Fantastic team work Hornets!!!

STEELERS FORCE SYLVAN LAKE BEARS INTO EARLY HIBERNATION!! FINAL SCORE 52 - 0
The Sylvan Lake Bears were just no match for the hard working Green D-line. Combined with some good offensive action, the Steelers showed just how good they can work together as a team. #55 Brayden Docherty started us off with a fumble recovery that set up Owen “Smitty” Smith to run the ball in 28 yards for a touchdown. The ball was then skillfully kicked in for a score of 8-0 at the end of the 1^st quarter. Two more touch downs in the 2^nd quarter set the tone for the rest of the game. With Smitty running in an 8 yard TD and then #17 Jesse Helmer sneaking in a 1 yard TD. Having a hot game today, Zach “Chicken legs” Morgan was AMAZING!. With some excellent tackling proving they certainly weren’t scared of no bears, #41 “Pinky“ Maki, Cole Layden, Carson Stuve, Quintin “Butch” Butcher, Cole Godden and the rest of the D-line were bringing them down left and right! The 3^rd quarter showcased the magic green feet of “Smitty” who broke tackles and ran on the outside for a 20 yard touchdown. One of the best plays of the game goes to Graydon “Monster” Perrot who intercepted the ball and ran a 60 yard touchdown with the cheers of the maniacal Steelers fan base pushing him on! This quarter wrapped up with ever skillful Ben Pasiuk running in a 6 yard TD despite having no receiver and pressure pumping in from the Bears! Noah “Chewbacca” Chu, Offensive tackle Dorian Savard and Offensive guard Tony Morelli played some excellent football showing they have the “stuff” to go all the way and Tarren “T-Rex” Romaniw stomped his way down the line, leaving a path strewn with bears behind him! The much appreciated Duncan “Donuts” Macauley and Lane Ganson showed off skillful moves as well and played some of their best football thus far. Good on you fellas! With so many having their fill of Thanksgiving turkey last weekend a little bit of barbeque hit the spot… #12 Kaden “BBQ” Hall was extra HOT and SPICY, and he wrapped up the game with a smokin’ 7 yard touchdown run! Nice one BBQ!. Another great day of football! Thanks to all who made it possible and see you next weekend!

Week 5

STEELERS WIN THE TURKEY BOWL... FINAL SCORE 44-0!
Coming off of last weeks tough loss to Lacombe, the Steelers worked hard all week in practice, and it showed today against the Strathmore Spartans! A few more of our rookies got starting nods today, due to a few of our regular starters being away for the Thanksgiving Holiday. This included back-up quarterback, Jesse Helmer, who led a potent Steelers offence to a stunning victory. The Steelers defense also tightened up, and played tremendously! Led by D-lineman, Brayden Docherty, they caused 4 forced fumbles. The first, coming right off of the Spartans first possession, at their 45 yd line, which was recovered by Graydon "Monster" Perrot. Running back, Owen "Smitty" Smith, had a great game, scoring 3 touchdowns, on 5, 11, and 23 yd, runs! Smitty also had a phenomenal kick return for 60 yd, where he was forced out of bounds at the Spartans 15 yd line. On the ensuing play, "Monster" ran it in 15 yd for the major score! Late in the 3rd quarter, Brandt "Wee-man" Burzuk, moved over to running back, and kept the sticks moving on numerous runs. The "Wee-man" showed everyone just how versatile and DANGEROUS he is, not only on defense, but on offence as well! In the 4th quarter, Kayden "BBQ" Hall, recovered a Spartan fumble, which somehow magically landed in his hands. Then with some great blocks, BBQ found some running room and rumbled it in for a TD! Rookie cornerback, Josh "Brownie" Brownell, played his best football yet, containing well out on the corner, and making a thunderous tackle to end a Spartan drive! "Smitty", was once again given kicking duties, and made 3 of 4 conversions after the TD's! Of Special note....The ENTIRE O-line, centered by Brayden Wagenaar, who opened up some big holes for our running backs to bust through!! Many thanks to all the parents who made the LONG drive, to enthusiastically cheer on our boys!! GREAT GAME STEELERS !!!

HORNETS: 5 - 0!!!
Mother nature set the scene with frosty temperatures and slick snow covered ground which the Innisfail Cyclones and the Red Deer Hornets struggled to over come. The battle was hard fought but the visiting Hornets prevailed with a thrilling 30  - 0 win. Reminiscent of roman legionaries the offence which included Jacob Purdue # 71, Cole Week #60 and Lloyd Ritchie # 42 moved in perfect formation paving the way for Sam Vesely #21 to break through the defensive ranks and score. Equally inpressive was the Hornets defense including Troy Stan # 73, Kade Damant # 64 and Jamell Emery #43. They managed to hold the course refusing to give up a single point to the home team. Although I can not mention every team member each time I do write ups ( they only allow me so much space ) ha! ha! I would like to take the opportunity to compliment the players and coaches on all of their hard work this season. Keep up the good work guys!! Go Hornets Go!

Week 4

HORNETS IMPROVE TO 4 - 0 ON THE SEASON!!!
Cooler weather could not dampen the spirits of the Red Deer Hornets as they went head to head with the Olds Huskies. The final score was 30 - 14 with all five touchdowns being scored by the Rocketman Sam Vesely #21. Tanner Olstad #10, Keegan MacDougall #2 , Taylor Vida #17, Desemond Surerus #4 were all brought down by the hard hitting Huskies but quickly bounced back and rejoined the game, proving when the going gets tough the tough play football. Jayden Johnston #66 and Lane Lyke #37 rang a few bells of their own making several bone crunching hits throughout the game. Achieving teeth jarring tackles did not satisfy Cameron Brown #25 who had a fourth quarter interception which raised Hornet fans off their seats. In the words of our commentator Dave Laplante, "TSN turning point"? Perhaps. The Hornets next game is in Innisfail, and since there is nothing better than a weekend of football and pumpkin pie, I expect all to be there. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Hornets' family and friends.

STEELERS FIGHT TO THE END IN LACOMBE NAIL BITER!!
Final score 26-16. The game ended with the Steelers down but what a game it was! Gordie Walls started the day off with a sweet catch made even sweeter by attaching the first touchdown of the game to it. Hats off to Ray-Ray, “is there any other way?” Sewalt, for showing us exactly how to block. Owen “Smitty” Smith then topped it off by kicking it in and at this point many of the Steelers fans lost their minds and one unnamed parent fainted dead away. To close off the first quarter, the Steelers made a nice fumble recovery on the Lacombe 20 yard line. Other skillful fumble recoveries today were by #33 Graydon Perrot on the Explosion’s 27 yard line and another by River “Doc” Jonasson on their 22 yard line.  Graydon also made some fantastic runs for yardage in the last quarter. Way to play Gray! There was some outstanding tackling going on by Jesse Helmer, “Matt” Partridge, Cole Godden, Brayden “the Tank” Wagenaar, Zach “Chicken legs” Morgan, Curls Hawkes and Bryce “Pinky” Maki. (Got to wash these socks someday, Pinky!) Again standing out on the “Wee”-fensive line was our #2, Brandt Burzak! Way to play guys!. These Steelers have to be mentioned for having one of their best games so far: “J-Dub” Willliams, Carter O’Donnell and Cole Layden. Way to play y’all! Thanks to the entire Steelers GREEN TEAM, our coaches and the fans for some fine football today. See you all at the Thanksgiving game in Strathmore!

Week 3

STEELERS - BYE WEEK

HORNETS IMPROVE TO 3-0 TO START SEASON!!
The Hornets third game of the season ended with a 22 - 0 victory over the visiting Strathmore Spartans at Great Chief Park. A huge welcome back goes out to Keegan MacDonald who returns to the line up fully recovered from a knee injury. #11 Matthew Brischuk shined making several key runs all afternoon wearing down the Spartan defence. The entire offensive line rose to the occasion magnificently forming a unbreakable blockade around all three Hornet quarterbacks, giving Ben Holmes, T.K. Kunaka and Taylor Vida ample time and space to effectively run the offence. Thanks to incredible tenacious blocking, wide receivers Nathan Bergeson #3 and Cody White #15 both had outstanding catch and run plays dicing and dodging through the Strathmore defence, with Cody White scoring from 23 yards out. Nathan also proved size does not matter when you've got the moves, effectively running through the Spartan defence to catch a touchdown pass in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately it was called back on a holding penalty. CFL coaches take note!!!! Our resident Sherman Tank, Jaydin Vonkeman #65, had 16 quarterback sacks throughout the game! The Hornets are back in action next Saturday against the visiting Olds Bulldogs at Great Chief Park, see you all then. Go Hornets!!

Week 2

HORNETS - BYE WEEK

STEELERS SHUT OUT WETASKIWIN WILDCATS 42-0 IN GAME 2!!!
An amazing day weather wise was made even better by the GREEN TEAM playing some amazing football!!   A final score of 42-0 tells the whole story. Owen Smith started us off with the first touchdown of the game and the crowd went wild! Some excellent tackling skills were noted with Graydon Perrott, Gordie Walls, Carson Stuve, Joshua Brownell, Bryce Maki and Cole Godden all
having EXCELLENT games. Good work guys! Our #62, Chase Harrison was in fine form with some slick moves as was Brandt Burzak who ran a very good block and recover. Who loves you Wee Man? “WEE” do!   A huge thank you to the entire Steelers Team for some very good football today. And in the words of our very wise team manager, “IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN FOOTBALL?” I think not. GO GREEN!!!

Week 1

HORNETS START SEASON WITH A WIN!
With enthusiasm bordering on fanatical I welcome everyone to another year of Hornets football. A beautiful day highlighted a final score of 46-38 in favor of the visiting Hornets. The Steelers defence was unable to stop Sam Vesely from running an impressive 392 yards for all 7 touchdowns. Travis Derksen had a quarter back sack which was one of many great plays effectively stopping the Steelers offense. Ben Holmes refusing to be outdone completed 2 field goals picking up an extra 4 points for the Hornets. If this game was any indication this season should be fantastic! Go Hornets!

STEELERS FIGHT HARD IN SEASON OPENER!!
The amazing green team fought their hardest against their hard running rivals the Hornets in the first game of the season. After the opening jaw-dropping 51 yard touchdown ran by the very good Sam Vesely, the Steelers fought hard to hold them with some impressive work by the entire team! The Steelers showed they were a force to be reckoned with when they responded with a "right back at ya" touchdown ran by Gordie Walls. A superb Defense was again led by captain Cody "Curls" Hawkes with Curls getting 2 sacks, Defensive end River "Doc" Jonasson was out early in the game with a leg injury but defense still had bodies of those pesky yellow Hornets flying through the air! Ben Pasiuk showed off his amazing moves when he led a 4th quarter drive to the Hornets 12 yard line. On the ensuing play he realized he had no receiver. With the Hornets defense pressing hard Ben scrambled to the outside, escaped the Hornets tackler and rumbled in for the touchdown! Owen Smiths feet were a fast moving blur of green as again, he showed off his skillful moves. Good Kicking Owen! The Steelers cheering section themselves were a force to be reckoned, with many wrist injuries noted from exuberant cow bell ringing and the sales of throat lozenges skyrocketing to ease the pain of strained vocal cords! Thanks to the players of the entire Steelers team and their working hard together for a good game. To the Steelers parents for getting them there and most of all to our much appreciated coaches for EVERYTHING they do! You are very appreciated!
