Wee Arrows start season

On Monday July 7th the Park Layne Wee Arrows kicked off their 2014 football campaign.
Camp started amid a hard outburst of rain, but the staff and the boys toughed it out and got to business running several Offensive and Defensive drills.
President Jeremy Snyder was pleased by the turn out despite the rainstorm.
It has been a long off season and we can't wait to get into the action.
Football has been America's favorite sport for many years now and we couldn't be happier to return to the traditions that have made the Wee Arrows a historic organization here in the community.
If you want to play for the Wee Arrows late registration is available.

All 2013 and 2014 board members should attend along with anyone interested in a board position for 2014. This is an open meeting and all parents are invited to attend as well. Also, anyone who was not able to attend the award ceremony may pick up their trophy at this meeting as well.

As the Wee Arrows move forward with electing new Board members, we would also like to take this opportunity to remember a long-time Wee Arrow member who passed away in 2013. Lester Sandy played for the Wee Arrows as a child and continued his relationship with the Wee Arrows most of his life. He resigned from his Board position as Head Football Coach in 2011 due to health problems. A moment of silence was held prior to start of each game on Sunday, 10/13/13 in his honor. The Wee Arrows will always be grateful for his involvement and Lester's legacy with our group will be felt for years to come. "Once a Wee Arrow, always a Wee Arrow." Thank you Lester

Future Arrow Bowl Played by Cubs and Wee Arrows

     On Saturday, Oct. 6th, the LMRVL rivals New Carlisle Cubs and Park Layne Wee Arrows faced off in the first ever "Future Arrow Bowl."  It was held under the lights in Spitzer Stadium at Tecumseh High School.  The games were a special event designed by the New Carlisle Cubs to give the football players, cheerleaders, coaches and parents the "Big Game" experience.  It was the first time the teams have gotten to play under these circumstances.  Middle school coaches met with 6th graders after the Varsity game to discuss playing next year for TMS.
     The Apache squad started off the day playing against the Pee Wee Cubs.  One touchdown was scored by the Apache squad. Playing hard, the Apache defense could not keep up against the Cubs.  The final score of the game was Cubs 27- Wee Arrows 6. 
     The Junior Varsity squads faced off in the next game.  The one-two punch of Easton Lewis and Alec Hall's touchdowns, capped off by Zeth LeMaster's 2 point conversion, were too much for the Cubs defense.  Not to be outdone by the Arrow offense, the Arrow defense managed to shut the Cubs down.  Final Score:  Wee Arrows 33 - Cubs 0.
     The Varsity game was played later in the evening so that the future THS Arrow players would be able to play under the lights.  The Wee Arrows Varsity Head Coach, Josh Sowders, with his assistants Travis Rowe and Russ Wooley, spent all week prepping their squad to come out and dominate the game.  The players did not let their coaches down.  Multiple Arrows scored touchdowns.  Regular Wee Arrow machines Davey Berner and Jordan Crane were joined by Drew Sarihan (who also kicked a field goal), Travis LeMaster, and Brandon Henn.  The Wee Arrow defense totally controlled their side of the ball led by Gavin Wasson's "Pick 6" interception.  Final Score: Wee Arrows: 55 - Cubs 0.
     The Park Layne Wee Arrows would like to thank the New Carlisle Cubs for creating and organizing the "Future Arrow Bowl." The Wee Arrows look forward to continuing the tradition between the two teams by hosting "Future Arrow Bowl II" next year!

WEE ARROWS HIT THEIR TARGET!


The Park Layne Wee Arrows hosted the Rolling Hills Bears on Sunday,October 30th in the first round of the Little Miami River Valley League's Post Season Tournament. The Wee Arrows Apache squad fought hard, but were outmatched in their game against the wee Bears. Losing in a 36 to 0 shutout.
The Wee Arrows Varsity were looking to avenge a week seven loss to the Varsity Bears,and upset the undefeated season champions.
The Wee Arrows Defense, led by Nathan Franklin ( who made several key tackles and caused a game changing fumble in the Bears red zone) held the Bears Offense to just 12 points. With the Defense getting the job done, the Wee Arrows Offense were able to take the game over. Darius Quisenberry led the Arrows to victory,scoring 4 touchdowns adding to an already impressive season. Final score: Park Layne 32 Rolling Hills 12.
The Wee Arrows Junior Varsity took the field next putting their own unbeaten record on the line. In a very defensive game the Arrows Jordan Crain was the only player to score in the first half. Crain broke out of the backfield and ran 45 yards to daylight and a touchdown.
At the half the Wee Arrows led 6 to 0. After a scoreless third quarter, Arrows Quarterback Will Sowders threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, the first a 50 yard out pattern to Receiver Ethan Adams, followed by a 35 yard pass to Gavin Watson to put the game away for the Arrows. Final Score: Park Layne 20 Rolling Hills 0.

Wee Arrows JV Achieve Perfection


On the chilly, Sunday afternoon of Oct. 23rd, Head Coach Josh Sowders and his staff of assistant coaches brought their team of young men, the Park Layne Wee Arrows JV squad, to face the Enon Knights in the LMRVL's last game of the 2011 season. After watching the Wee Arrows Apache squad lose in a heart breaking 7-6 contest followed by the Wee Arrows Varsity coming from behind to end their game with the Knights in a 22-22 tie, the Wee Arrows JV squad knew the Knights were aiming to end their unbeaten record.

Unfortunately for the Knights, the Wee Arrows executed Coach Sowders' game plan very effectively. Quarterback Will Sowders took his team down the field early and often in the first half leading the Arrows with his 2 rushing and 2 passing touchdowns. At the halfway point in the game, the Arrows led the Knights 27-7. The second half of the game belonged to Gavin Watson who caught a 70 yard touchdown from Sowders, then scored on 2 long runs to completely seal the game. Final score: Wee Arrows 45 - Knights 0.

This is the second consecutive year that the Park Layne Wee Arrows have had an undefeated squad. In 2010, the Wee Arrows Varsity won the League Championship with a record of 7-0. Next up for the Wee Arrows is the LMVRL Tournament. The Wee Arrows will host the Rolling Hills Bears on Sunday, Oct. 30th in the first round of the tournament. Visit the Wee Arrows website: www.leaguelineup.com/tecumsehweearrows. The Park Layne Wee Arrows are proud of all of our football players who have worked so hard this year. Congratulations on a fantastic 2011 season!
