Brandon Dougan, on the right, is heading into his second year
as Head Coach of the Confederation Secondary School Chargers
football team with a great deal of optimism about the club and
the future of the sport in general. Above he is shown with one of his
community assistant coaches, Pastor Steven Gudrie of the
Valley Pentecostal Church in Hanmer. Pastor Steve is in
charge of the line, a position he himself played during his
younger years. Brandon has several other assistant coaches
helping him mold the team, including Steven's son, Curtis
Gudrie, who
is Youth Pastor at Valley Pentecostal.

Confederation is beginning its 5th year in the 8-team league,
and to its credit, already holds one City Championship which
was captured during its 2nd year of operation. The players
were in training during the week prior to school opening,
going through twice-a-day workouts to get back into shape for
the North-South exhibition game which will be played this
Friday night, September 8, at Queen's Athletic Field in
Sudbury.
|
|
|
|
The six-game schedule doesn't leave much time to play yourself
into shape, so each game must be considered a must-win for the
club. The North-South contest is the only exhibition game for
the club. On that night six of the eight teams will be in action,
each competing in a game equivalent to one-half. Confederation
will start things off at 4:00 p.m. with a game against St.
Benedict.
"Everybody who comes out to practice will make the
team," explained Dougan, who plays as a receiver with the
Sudbury Spartans during the summer. "The coaching staff
is prepared to work with each of the boys to develop their
playing skills and help them enjoy the game. We all have a
background in football and truly believe in the benefits of
being part of a football team."
Dougan also coaches in the Joe MacDonald Football League
and is committed to putting something back into the game he
loved as a young kid. "I remember playing for the Paris
Street Blues in high school under Sid Forester. He helped me
go on to a University career with the St. Mary's Huskies. I
love the game and I saw what it did to help me accomplish my
goals. Now as a teacher, I can look forward to working with
young people all my life."

The Confederation Secondary School Chargers play their first home game of
the season on Friday, September 15, 2006 at 1:30 in the afternoon at
Confederation. Their opponent will be the Secondary School North Stars. It
is a special school spirit game where students will be allowed to take
time off class to come out and cheer on their team. The general public is
also invited to come out and watch high school football being played on
"the best football field in the district" according to Head
Coach, Brandon Dougan. This year Confederation has four home games during
the regular season. When he is not on the field, Brandon Dougan teaches Special
Education at Confederation.
Dougan has played for the Sudbury Spartans for the past ten years and
is recognized as one of the most effective offensive players in the
league. In fact he was named to the NFC All-Star squad thanks to his 2006
season which saw him catch 22 passes for 440 yards, placing him second
overall in the league. He scored four touchdowns.
Dougan will be on the field when the NFC All-Star Game comes to Queen's
Athletic Field on Saturday, September 9, 2006.

Dougan played in the NFC All-Star Game at Queen's

He is definitely looking forward to leading the Chargers to another
great season in hopes of coming out as City Champs.

see as many people from the community at the field to cheer them on as
well. Football is not something that we get much of a chance to see in
Valley East, but it would be extremely nice if we gave our boys the kind
of boost that they get in small towns in the United States.

Confederation Secondary School Chargers Are The Team To Beat This
Year In Varsity Football Team |
|
|
The Confederation Secondary School Football Chargers went
head-to-head with LoEllen Park Knights last week in the battle for first
place. After building up a 21 to 6 lead in the first quarter, the Chargers
coasted to a convincing 44 to 25 victory and now find themselves as the
team to beat this year in search of their 2nd City Championship title in
only six years.
The Chargers have unleashed an amazing offensive attack
and have outscored their opponents by a total of 149 to 58 in only four
games.
This Friday, October 13 at 3:30 p.m. at Confederation
field in Val Caron, the Chargers take on Notre Dame in game five. The players would love to
see as many people from the community at the field to cheer them on. Football is not something that we get much of a chance to see in
Valley East, but it would be extremely nice if we gave our boys the kind
of boost that they get in small towns in the United States.
