THE ROAD ENDS HERE!
The 2009 GEFA Championship, Keystone Bowl V, will be held Saturday, July 18th, in Lykens, PA.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2pm. ..
Bayshore Brawlers
The Bayshore Brawlers, now in their fourth season with the GEFA, have made it to their THIRD Championship game. Yes, four seasons and three Championship appearances. Of their previous two Championship appearances, they've won both games!
The 2009 season saw the Brawlers fight their way to a 7-1 regular season record only losing to the Lykens Thunder, division rivals. The Brawlers earned a first round by in the post-season based on their successful regular season record.
Bayshore met with the Middletown Maniax in the 2nd week of playoffs. This was a nail-biter game that truly could've gone either way. The final saw the Brawlers squeak by 28-26.
This win earned the Brawlers a trip to Lykens, PA for the Penn-Jersey Divisional Championship game agains the defending division Champs, Lykens Thunder. This, too, proved to be a classic game between the two powerhouses. After plenty of back and forth play, the Brawlers came out on top 34-28.
Congratulations to the Bayshore Brawlers on their THIRD Championship appearance in four season.
Millville Marauders
The Millville Marauders, in their first season AS the Marauders (a break-off team from the S.V. Stallions), proved to be a largely under-rated group of players. With a regular season record of 5-3, the Marauders had to play all three games of the post-season leading up to this game.
The Wildcard game against the Sunbury Devils was largely a Millville controlled game. Millville won 38-12.
The 2nd week of the 2009 GEFA Playoffs saw the Marauders traveling to the #2 seed Tri-Town Braves (The Braves won the regular season meeting). This was one of those classic GEFA style games. Back and forth, lots of offense and hard-hitting defense. The final score here saw the Marauders hold on by a score of 48-40!
With the win against the Braves, Millville earned the right to host the Divisonal Championship due to their opponent, the Lewisburg Knights (another 1st year team), dethroning the defending league champs, #1 seed Williamsport Wildcats. The Knights got out to an early 14-2 lead but the Marauders came prepared and ready to win this game. Following the talented play of RB Kevin High, 200+ yards rushing, and the holes provided by the offensive line/fullback as well as the stellar defensive play by Jack Dietterick, Charlie Funson and the Marauder secondar, the Marauders came back and pulled away as the Mountain Division Champs, 51-42!
Now, the question is, will the highly talented, First Year Phenoms, keep their momentum and aggressive playing going to win Keystone Bowl V or will the experience on the Big Stage and the extraordinary talent that the Bayshore Brawlers have overcome and payoff for a third time?! Check back here or better yet come to the game in Lykens to show your support for your divisional champion or the GEFA in general as we embark upon our FIFTH successful GEFA Championship game!
Good luck and congratulations to both teams!!!
PENN-JERSEY DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
This was every bit the classic GEFA game as ever. Two powerhouse football teams, with a deep history of competition, going head-to-head. After lots of back and forth, supremely tough football, a 40-minute delay due to Lightning, a stingy-scoring 2nd half, and super-tight score differentials (neither team had more than a 6-point lead all game long!) the Bayshore BRAWLERS held tough on "D" with just over 1:00 to go in the game, and came out with the big 'W' to win the 2009 Penn-Jersey Division Championship.
The Final from Lykens:
Brawlers 34 - Thunder 28
MOUNTAIN DIVISIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Lewisburg Knights made the short trek to Millville to take on the Marauders for the 2009 Mountain Division Championship. The winner would get their ticket punched to go to KEYSTONE BOWL V on July 18th. This game started out strong for the Knights, taking a quick 14-2 lead at the end of the first. After halftime, the points started raining down with lots of big time plays and quick changes of posession. Although the Knights gave everything they had, the Marauders began to pull away in the 4th quarter and sealed the deal by running out the clock.
The Final from Beer Depot Field:
Marauders 51 - Knights 42
GEFA Playoff Tree
THIS SEASON???
The Brawlers once again face their Penn-New Jersey Division Rival. Last time they meet this season it resulted in a humiliating Brawler loss in a winner take all Division title game at home. After a battle royal VS the Maniax in the divisional round. The Brawlers must now travel to the Thunder's home field to face another winner take all situation, this time it’s for a Keystone bowl appearance. Brawlers face the leagues best offense and defense in points scored and points against with a depleted roster. Let’s take a look at how the league views this game.
PENN-JERSEY DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
Bayshore BRAWLERS at Lykens THUNDER. Here are, ostensibly, the two "bullies" of the Penn-Jersey Division! The BRAWLERS are two-time Champs ('06 & '07) and the THUNDER have twice vied for the chance to go to the KEYSTONE BOWL (in '08 and now THIS year)! The Jersey Boyz got a little dinged up two weeks ago, and were glad for the lay-off over the July 4th Weekend. If they come to Lykens with 90% - 95% of their guys loaded up & ready to play, look out! An efficient offense...a defense that pursues and attacks the ball and ballcarrier. That's pretty much what you get when the BRAWLERS are firing on all cylinders (and even when they don't). Now, the THUNDER, on the other hand, have been, dare I say, "En Fuego" (that's spanish for "On Fire" for those of you from the Shickshinny/Moquanaqua area of PA). Offense, Defense, Special Teams...it matters not. Good variety on the ground and thru the airways on "O" ... bone-crushing hits and lots of going after the ball on "D". And, on and on and on! The word "juggernaut" is not inappropriate! Coach Tom's Red Storm is rumblin' REAL LOUDLY in Lykens. And, the home field thing can't hurt!
The BARREL HOUSE Prediction:
THUNDER 35 - BRAWLERS 32
DIVISION ROUND RESULTS:
Brawlers 28 Maniax 26-

WOLFPACK 13 - TIGERS 8
The 'PACK hold tough against a VERY capable TIGERS Team, who did some "roaring" all season long. The WOLFPACK will move on to the Division Semi's at LYKENS on Sat., 6/27.
MANIAX 40 - CYCLONE
The 'AX are hitting their stride as they move through the Post Season. The CYCLONES should be stoked that, as a first-year team, they made playoffs! And, buidling for '10 is key. The MANIAX go to NJ to face the BRAWLERS in the Divisional Semi's on the 27th.
The MOUNTAIN DIVISION
MARAUDERS 38 - DEVILS 12
The MARAUDERS were on the ball...literally...until the final play with Charlie Funson took a fumble back 45 yards for a TD. They move on to play the Tri-Town BRAVES in Mongomery on the 27th. The 'VILS will begin to re-tool for 2010.
KNIGHTS 42 - DUTCHMEN 6
It WAS, indeed, "Knight Time" in Lewisburg today. A MUCH-IMPROVED KNIGHTS knocked the D-MEN back to Millhiem. BUT, look out...they'll be a LOT better in 2010! Meanwhile, it's off to Billtown on the 27th for the KNIGHTS as they face the WILDCATS in the Divisional Semi's!

THUNDER 39 - BRAWLERS 12
Great offensive play and heady defensive play by the THUNDER...along with nine (yes...NINE) BRAWLER turnovers) equated to the THUNDER Road Win in NJ. Both will get the 1st Round/Wildcard Weekend BYE. The THUNDER go in to the Post Season as the PENN-JERSEY DIVISION's #1 Seed and the BRAWLERS are the #2 Seed
BRAWLERS 34 - CYCLONES 13.
This was actually a closer game than what the score would indicate. Nearing halftime, the BRAWLERS were up 21-0. A bad snap by the BRAWLERS resulted a 1st and goal inside the 5 for the CYCLONES! The BRAWLERS gathered themselves, and, well, the rest is history. Week 8 has the CYCLONES at the WOLFPACK as the BRAWLERS host the THUNDER (Another good one!)
BRAWLERS 19 - BRONCOS 0
The Bucks County BRONCOS had a HUGE opportunity today. An opportunity to get Win #1! They've been coming together and giving it their best. The BRAWLERS, as they often do, just didn't travel well. About 10-12 made the trek from the Jersey Shore. BUT...that's all they'd need. They did their thing while the BRONCOS are still working on "their thing." Week 7 hasa the BRONCOS coming to Millville to play the MARAUDERS. Meanwhile, the BRAWLERS are on the road again to play the Mt. Joy CYCLONES.
BRAWLERS 54 - BRAVES 14
WOW! Once again, the BRAWLERS come out to Penns Woods a few players shy. BUT, they, evidently, brought their best...or the players who made the trip brought their A-Game...Or BOTH! One of the "Best of the West" got beat while that old "Beast from the East" did what they do best: Turn it up when they have to. The BRAWLERS should be a shoo-in for the win in Week 6 against the BRONCOS, while the BRAVES go up the street to battle the WILDCATS in Williamsport.
BRAWLERS 39 - STALLIONS 19
The BRAWLERS did their thing...capitalizing on miscues and then making the most out of them in a hurry. That, coupled with hard-nosed football got them up a couple/three scores fast. The STALLIONS travelled with only 13 and "slept" thru the 1st half. The 2nd half was a different game where the STALLIONS adapted, adjusted and overcame! But, the 2nd half was not different (or long) enough. This was a good game...always is with these two! Oh, and the BRAWLERS' win is dedicated to Denise Strollo, Dave "Grandpa" Strollo's sister who's battling cancer. Best to you, Denise...we're ALL with you in the G.E.F.A.!
BRAWLERS 74 - WOLFPACK 16-
Call this the "Welcome to the G.E.F.A., WOLFPACK" game. While true enough that the 'PACK had some swagger, this week...against the 2-Time Champs...would truly be a test of skill. The test results are in: the BRAWLERS still have the skills they need to be a serious contender for post season. The WOLFPACK now know how the top-echelon teams do it around the G.E.F.A. Watch for both teams to make a run at the playoffs. The question for (at least) one of them: should they make it, how deep will they go? Right now, one team has an edge. The other could get it, but it remains to be seen. Stick around! Week 4 has the BRAWLERS hosting the STALLIONS, while the WOLFPACK are in Lykens against the THUNDER...another top-tier team.
Week 2 Maniax 27 Brawlers 32
Brawlers Cage Maniax in Final Seconds
The Bayshore Brawlers, 2006 and 2007 Great Eastern Football Association champions defeated their Keystone Bowl Two competitors the Middletown Maniax in the final seconds of their home opener at the Laurence Harbor Little League on April 25 th. With Ty Bedel, the game’s most valuable player, crossing the pylon with less than ten ticks left on the clock the Brawlers took a 32-27 lead. The Maniax were unable to pull off a special team or deep pass miracle in the remaining seconds as the Brawlers improved to 2-0. The Maniax lost their second heart breaker in as many weeks as they continue to search for their first victory.
The Brawlers offensive charge was lead by all-league tight end Marques Haynes who caught touchdowns and extra points during the early going of the matchup. Joao Huerta, Claud Jones, and Monquell Conway, all first year players, contributed throughout the matchup with their dazzling speed, excellent hands, and tremendous hustle. First year offensive lineman Antoine Hudgins continued to impress coaches, fans, and the opposition with blocks that lasted seconds past the whistle. Veterans Manny Foy, John Mulligan, and Junito Torres played steady throughout the game and have been major contributors in why the Brawlers have begun the ’09 season undefeated.
The defense of the Brawlers were put in tight spots early on in the game and showed some uncharacteristic sloppiness in stopping the run and gaining consistent pass rushing pressure. The defensive line rotation of Jeff Greenberg, Stephon Hickson, Jay Smith, Mike Delafuente, and Antoine Tolbert eventually settled down and didn’t allow the Maniax’s offense the ability to run their inside runs or bootleg passes. Linebackers JJ Morgan and Tim Steeger applied bone crushing hits throughout the contest. The Brawlers secondary was able to stop the Maniax’s potent passing attack with the likes of Sy Patterson, Franklin Dean, and Dan Fort.
The Brawlers will play their second home game this Saturday against the up and coming Wolfpack Saturday at 3pm at the Laurence Harbor Little League Complex. Admission is always free of charge and remember to bring your lawn chair!
April 18, 2009- Brawlers 28 - Tigers 26
Brawlers pull out a heartbreaker this Sunday. Almost blowing a 16 pt halftime lead. In the second half a fumbled Brawlers snap in the end zone gave the tigers a quick 6. This was followed up with several dropped passes stalling the brawler’s offense. The defense then failed on several key tiger possessions fueling Tiger momentum. A heroic offensive effort by the brawlers brought the score to 28-20 late in the game. These heroics where almost erased by a rainbow thrown by the tigers QB which turned into a jump ball in the end zone that was pulled down in between several brawlers defenders, with two minutes left in the game. With the Tigers having no timeouts left, the Brawlers elected to kneel on the ball and run the clock out solidifying the win.
