Crusaders 14 St. Thomas Knights 20
Another great game to be apart of. You Guys played a really good team Saturday Night, and that's what they said about us. I'm very Proud of what you Guys accomplished this season. Character, class, guts, and the will to win, best describes the 2009 Crusaders. You Guys never wined or complained or made excuses, you took responsibility for yourselves and always looked forward. Those are all traits of strong character. Our next goal is to take 3rd!

Crusaders 26 St. Williams 22

Guys,
I've never had so much fun! This team by far is the most exciting team I ever had the honor to coach. With all the problems we had today, you never made a single excuse, and that's why you always had an opportunity to win. No matter what we go through as a team, surrender will never be an option! Enjoy your Victory!

Crusaders 2 Saints 8
Guys,
This was a tough loss. It was a tough one for me to get over. I can say this, we are the better team, but this past Sunday, the Buxmont Saints were. We will get another chance, it's far from over. Saturday is a must win, let's look ahead!

Crusaders 8 St. Gens 0

Guys,
This was a well played game by both teams. Congrats on your first shutout, with a bend but don't break defense.
We played another very good team who's record doesn't reflect how good the are. You Guys came out and showed everybody why the Crusaders are at the top of the standings again. The character and confidence you exude, makes you very hard to beat. Your Coaches and Parents are very proud of you!

Crusaders 15 SASH 14

S.A.S.H. was un-defeated at 3-0, and even though they're a Division 2 team, we cannot chance taking anyone lightly. We found out today why we can't let up, not even a little.  Everyone who has the Crusaders on their schedule, knows they're in for one heck of a game! Great Job! Everyone contributed to this victory, enjoy it , we have a huge game Friday Night at Home vs. St. Gen's.

Crusaders 22 ABVM 14
Sorry it took so long to right this one, it's been a busy week. One word describes your win this week.........."HEART"
"HEART" can only describe the way we bounced back from last weeks loss. Keep your eyes on the Goal, we have a tough one on Saturday.

Corpus Christi 28 Crusaders 6
Guys,
I hate to say this, but I think we needed to lose this game. There were allot of mistakes in this one, Coaches and Players alike. They were a good team, but so are we! We can and will do better. We will discuss the problems I saw on the video and take the necessary steps to fix the problems, because that's what Champions do. They bounce back from adversity. Be prepared to bounce back!

Crusaders 27 Mt. Carmel 8
Guys,
What was important about this game was the way you guys supported each other. When one player made a mistake the rest of the team supported him and helped him to overcome it and move on. But your selflessness must carry over to your everyday life. The difference between a Champion and someone who wishes they were is, A Champion will give of himself even when there is nothing to gain. Are you willing to give all you have for the betterment of the team?........ I believe you are.
Great Game Guys!

Crusaders,
Not to bad for your first game, you guys are further along than I thought. This can be a great season if we keep focused, practice hard, and stick together. Now go watch yourselves on You-Tube!

Scrimmage vs OLV

Guys,
I just finished going through the video of the scrimmage. Although you guys did a fantastic job, there is much to work on. We cannot rely on good fortune to get us back to Villanova, we must execute our game-plan with very few mistakes. We definitely improved from the prior weeks scrimmage.
I would like to add a very important note, we can only be serious about a repeat championship if we all come to practice, we have yet to have a full team at practice. This team needs a commitment from all 47 players.
Keep up the good work!
-Coach Dave

Team Assignments
Crusaders,
We will split up into "Tentative" A & B Teams on Monday. Also most of the Offensive Positions will be announced then as well. We will go over the Blocking rules and start adding in offensive plays. Remember to work hard at your position and be the best you can be, your team is counting on you!

Congratulations Crusaders, this was one of the best games I've ever been a part of. All you guys played an amazing game. For the season to end in that fashion made all the hard work worth it!
Your Parents, Friends and relatives, brought down the house. I couldn't even hear myself think. What an awesome experience!
You Guys always were and always will be, "CHAMPIONS"

THANK YOU!
