BYSA especially wants to thank Coach Craig, the high school football program and its coaches for their continued support and patience.
The 2011 Blanchard Little League Football season was again a success. The 3rd, 5th and 6th grade teams all won their first round playoff game and competed in the in A-Bracket of the Deepfork Valley Football Conference.
The 3rd grade, coached by Ty Deaton, took second place in the conference after losing to Prague in the championship. They played hard and had a great season, finishing up with a 10 win 2 loss season.
