Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Offensive Lineman of the Year

The offensive lineman is essentially the savior of the team's quarterback. When teams are relatively small, like the Mastodons, there may only be one lineman at a time, but sure enough they block the defenders and protect the quarterback long enough for a big score. Another big aspect of the offensive lineman is to get the ball to the quarterback successfully. They have to work on their perfection of the snap. The biggest men on the field don't get nearly enough credit for holding the offense together. Here are the nominees for the Mastodon offensive lineman of the year. Vote at the bottom of the page.


Collin Giguere. In the one game that Big Tuna showed up to, he shined a new light on snapping the ball. As the Leicester Wolverine JV football team's starting center, he knows his way around snapping and blocking, almost simultaneously. Tuna boasted three pancakes in his lone game of the season.

Joe Cicero. He snapped the majority of balls for the Mastodons, but he wasn't as much of a blocker. His six pancakes ranked second on the team, but even though he wasn't much of a blocker, you could count him to be successful on the line of scrimmage.

Alex Lach. Immediately named as a strong candidate for a surefire offensive lineman/center, Lach led the team with ten pancakes. His main priority was blocking as he never quite caught too many balls. Alex may not have been the best snapper, but the effort was certainly there.

Kyle is the 2012 Mastodon Secondary Player of the Year

Bolstered by the pick six on his lone interception of the season, Kyle received 66% of the vote to be named the Mastodon Secondary Player of the Year! Congratulations! Well deserved!

Happy Holidays!

The entire Mastodon family would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, whatever you celebrate, we hope you enjoy it!

Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Secondary Player of the Year

The secondary section consists of three different positions. The free safeties, the strong safeties, and the cornerbacks. Each one contributes something different and something essential to a football team and their defense. They're the ones who rack up the interceptions and cover the star wideouts who could make a break for the end zone if it wasn't for them. The elite stars of the defense are finally getting their turn. Vote for the Mastodon secondary player of the year at the bottom of the page.


Kyle Petit. He didn't play too many games with the Mastodons, but his prowess was felt when he did. Two tackles were made by Kyle and only one was assisted. In addition to the tackles, the starting free safety made an interception and returned that pick for a touchdown.

Harry Cocker. Five of his seven tackles were unassisted, good for one of the team's best tackling percentages. Harry racked up three interceptions and actually managed to return two of them for touchdowns. The starting cornerback's two pick sixes led the team.

Alex Bahnan. The team's starting strong safety made seventy tackles on the year, forty-six of which were unassisted. One tackle was for a loss. In addition to this, Alex recovered two of the three fumbles that he forced. For kicks, Alex also made four picks on the season.

Dave is the 2012 Mastodon Linebacker of the Year

Four interceptions, sixty-four tackles, two sacks, a blocked field goal, and six fumbles forced, with three recovered. You unanimously voted Dave Mello as the 2012 Mastodon Linebacker of the Year. Four votes were cast and he received each one. Congratulations!

Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Linebacker of the Year!

Linebackers bring the hurt. Sandwiched between the secondary and the defensive line, they stop the run attack, maneuver around players to bring pressure to the quarterback. Often regarded as the most physical players on the field, big hits are sure to be seen. Linebackers are the key to stopping what could be a big play. You can't win games without 'em. Here are the nominees for the 2012 Mastodon Linebacker of the Year:


Dave Mello. Over the course of the season, Dave barely let people pass him. 36 of 64 of his tackles were unassisted. His two sacks ranked third among the team leaders. Just to bump the stats a bit, he added a blocked field goal and managed to recover three of the six fumbles that he forced. To top it all off, Dave boasted four interceptions. Dave was a force to be reckoned with on defense.

Kyle Splaine. He made 44 tackles on the season at the position of linebacker. Out of Kyle's tackles, 23 were assisted and 21 were unassisted. He also blocked a field goal and added three interceptions with a forced fumble. Whilst on offense, players were afraid to see Kyle looking right back at 'em.

Nick Young. Nick played two games on defense, but still managed 11 tackles and 6 of them were unassisted. He didn't have any forced fumbles, sacks, blocks, or interceptions, but Nick was an imposing player on defense. Had he stayed in America a bit longer, his stats would definitely been crazier.

Joe is the 2012 Mastodon Defensive Lineman of the Year!

Congratulations, Joe! Those sacks and tackles numbers sure were something else! Joe received 80% of the vote, 4 votes. Paul received the fifth vote. It was well deserved, Joe, congrats!

Vote for the 2012 Mastodon Defensive Lineman of the Year

The defensive linemen are some of the biggest, toughest guys out on the field. They don't always get the sacks, but they're the soul of the defense. They attempt to penetrate the offensive line to bring the pressure to the quarterback. Without them, the defense would be lost. They are crucial. Here are the Mastodon nominees for 2012's best in this category:

Paul Pepin: Paul never played in an actual practice or game for the Mastodons, but we definitely know how much of a factor he would have been. He played on the Leicester Wolverines with multiple sacks and excellent blocking on the season.

Joe Cicero: Joe was an absolute beast out on the field. He had the highest amount of tackles on the season, by far, with 111. 10 of those were sacks! He was an animal, a monster! He struck fear into the hearts of his opponent. 76 of his 111 tackles were unassisted. If he had 76 tackles total, it would still be the highest on the team. To add to this, three of his tackles were for a loss and he recovered all 10 of the fumbles he forced.

Alex Lach: His numbers weren't as incredible as Joe's might have been, but the pressure that Lach put on quarterbacks was unparalleled. He had 4 sacks on 27 tackles, 9 of which were unassisted. He added a fumble recovery and a blocked field goal to the stats.

Harry is the 2012 Mastodon Kicker of the Year!

The award goes to the punter! He never kicked during a game, but that punting practice was sure something! Congratulations!

Vote for the 2012 Kicker of the Year

The mark of a true kicker is an art. He can make a drive worth three points if you can't manage a touchdown. He dots the I if you do manage to score. He's clutch when it matters. He provides distance on kickoffs and punts to put the pressure on opponents. It's fitting to honor the kicker with an award all his own. Without further ado, the three nominees for Mastodon Kicker of the Year.

Harry Cocker:
Harry was never in on the field goals or extra points, but he was a supreme punter for the Mastodons. Named the starting punter earlier in the season, he excelled and showed that the punter position is worthwhile.

Kyle Splaine:
Kyle provided the extra point workload. He never attempted a field goal, but did attempt numerous extra points. Through the season, he scored seven points with 87.5% accuracy. This means that he made seven out of his eight field goals.

Alex Bahnan:
Alex was the only one to attempt a field goal that was not an extra point this season. He was also the only to make a field goal. He was one for one on those attempts for 31 yards. Extra point wise, he made twelve out of fourteen for 15 total points.

2012 Mastodon Season Comes To A Close

Practice was unable to be held today and with that, the 2012 Mastodon season will end. We planned to keep going, but a lot of factors deterred that. No need to worry Mastodites! This site and the other three will still be up and functioning throughout the offseason. We have plenty of fun stuff planned this winter to keep the fans into it! There will be awards, recaps, and much more. It's going to be a good offseason. Mastodons resume play on Sunday, February 24, 2013. Keep coming back to the site until then! Mastodon Might!

No Practice This Weekend

It's the owner's father's birthday and the general manager's niece has been born. Along with many other prior requirements from the players, practice will just not take place this week.

One Poll Closes, A New One Opens

The poll that asked where Joe was most dominant has closed. The winning category? Defense! Nice job to the defensive juggernaut, Joe. A new poll will open. Do you consider Alex Bahnan to be an elite quarterback? Vote!

Player of the Week: 10/8 - 10/15

It was a close battle for this week's honors, but Alex Bahnan has pulled out! Don't think that this was only because there were four players playing. He earned it! He had an 82% completion percentage while throwing for 2 touchdowns over 167 yards. His quarterback rating was an astounding 128.5! He also rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, caught three passes, kicked three extra points, and recorded fourteen tackles. One of those tackles forced a fumble! Very nice game for Alex to earn himself the Player of the Week honors!

Practice Summary 10/14

Only four players were able to play, but they made the most of it! Mastodon 1 won 42-24. Dave Mello, injured, reffed the game. Stats and Player of the Week to come.

Injury Report

Our primary wide receiver and safety, Dave Mello, was sidelined for today's practice and may be sidelined for the next five. He could be back as soon as this coming week. He was out today due to the possibility of a ruptured spleen.

Tomorrow...Practice!

Mastodon Might! 12:30, Memorial School, Practice!

Player of the Week 10/1 - 10/8

Joe was a beast this week! He really got it done! Over the course of two scrimmages, Joe rushed for 134 yards and had 141 yards on returns along with two touchdowns. That's only the beginning! As a receiver, Joe had 510 yards over 34 receptions. He caught seven touchdowns! On defense, Joe was an animal. 59 tackles! 4 sacks! He was in on 15 fumbles AND showcased 4 touchdowns on D! That's a total of 13 touchdowns this week. Nice job, Joe!

Mastodon Theme Song

Here's the story of the Mastodon theme song poll. All I Do Is Win and I Am A Paleontologist both landed one vote. My Way was a dark horse and put together three votes. In the final minutes, Remember the Name trailed by one vote and they got it. And then some. I thought that Remember the Name had defeated It's Time by a vote, but apparently you have to manually remove each poll. This led to It's Time scrapping one more vote. A total of 17 votes were cast. More than is on the team, so our fan base is growing. But, it's a tie. What do I do now?

Great Practice Today!

I forgot to alert the website that there was a practice today. It was very awesome and high-scoring. Joe's little brother, Anthony even joined in on the fun. He rushed for two touchdowns! The final score may have been 102-27 in favor of Joe, Alex, and Dave, but it was a great practice. The field was slipper and Alex Bahnan slipped many times. One even in Charlie Brown like fashion. We're geared up for our first game this Sunday. Stats, and Player of the Week to come.

Harry's A Captain!

Congratulations to Harold William Cocker for being named our sixth team captain. We will have a maximum of six captains. Nicely done!

This Is Big

We're going to aim for two practices for this long weekend. But there's something big happening. We have our first scrimmage against a different team. A makeshift squad wants to play us. We are capable of winning, but we have to prepare. Let's go!

Practice Cancelled.

Joe couldn't go, adding to the list of absences. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Poll Closed

The poll on what should be the Mastodon theme song has closed. 14 people voted. The results will be announced at today's practice.

Practice Today!

A quick reminder there will be a Mastodon practice today. Don't worry about the weather, the rain will stop by 11. See you there!

Shift of Practice

So far, we've normally had practices on Saturdays at 12:30, but we're going to change it to Sundays at 12:30. Mainly because Harry and Kyle S ref soccer games on Saturdays and it seems that Sundays will work well. So, yes, that means there is a practice this Sunday at 12:30 at the Memorial School. I promise that the video will be made this time. See you there!

Player of the Week 9/16 - 9/23

At Nick's final practice he took control. He was not only motivated, but dominant. He rushed for 22 yards on 3 attempts, made 11 tackles, returned 2 kicks, one for a touchdown. That was only half of it. His receiving stats were crazy. 22 receptions, 233 yards, and 9 touchdowns! He said before the practice, he didn't want it given to him, he wanted to earn it. Earn it he did. Congrats!

Practice Recap 9/23

Jerseys were handed out and a ceremony was held for our moving teammate, Nick Young. His number was retired and sad Mastodon noises took place. But back to business, the scrimmage went well and it definitely a high scoring game at 58 to 72. However, according to Joe, the other team took steroids, so it will be marked as a 58 to 0. With an asterisk. Statistics and Player of the Week TBD.

Today's Agenda

1. Visit Nick's Yard Sale
2. Hand Out Jerseys
3. Take Videos For Montage
4. Nick's Ceremony
5. Drills and Training
6. Scrimmage

Mastodon Might, let's go!

Practice Tomorrow Instead!

Today's practice was cancelled and thanks to the suggestion of Kyle Splaine, it will be held tomorrow at 12:30 at the Memorial School. Nice suggestion, Kyle! We're also gonna try to have the practices on Sundays rather than Saturdays now due to prior engagements with some of the players. Hope to see you there!

New Poll!

This past week's poll regarding Harry's shining moment has concluded. The voters said that being named as the starting punter was his best. Nice!

A new poll is up to decide the Mastodon theme song, not fight song. Listen to the choices:

Vote!

TODAY'S PRACTICE CANCELLED

We're sorry to say that due to lack of sleep by some teammates on the previous evening and tiredness, Joe has made the call to cancel today's practice. We are sorry. Jerseys will be handed out next practice. Commercials will be made next practice. Nick's ceremony will take place next practice.

"Jerseys"

Jerseys (t-shirts with marker) were scheduled to be made today, but due to an unforeseen turn of events, they will be made tomorrow. There's still time to change your number if you'd like! Here's what the back of the jerseys are slated to look like. Comment on this post if you want to change something.

Lach - 22
Bahnan - 9
Cocker - 33
Petit - 7
Cicero Jr. - 55
Splaine - 24
Vann - 87
Young - 99
Pepin - 15
Mello - 84

Yes, Another Saturday Practice

As expected, another Mastodon practice will be held at 12:30 on Saturday. Hopefully it will be at the Memorial School, but if soccer games are taking place there again, then we'll settle for the Middle School. We strongly encourage everyone to attend because CALEB is going to try to make it. I know, I know, he told me he would definitely be there, but now he said he MIGHT go. Come on, Caleb. Please make it, no matter what plans you have ;), as there will also be a ceremony for one of our players.

Player of the Week 9/9 - 9/16

Congratulations to Harry! He is this week's Player of the Week. In yesterday's scrimmage, he scored every touchdown for his team! Here's one more quick look at his stats:


Quarterback: 2-6, 33%, 61 yards, Long of 20
Rushing: 2 attempts, 83 yards, 41.5 per, Long of 60, 2 TDs

9/15 Practice Recap

We started off with the telling of important news. There was some good news. Kyle Splaine, Alex Bahnan, Joe Cicero, and Dave Mello have all been made captains along with the original captains, Alex Lach and Kyle Petit. However, there was some bad news. The Mastodons will be unable to play any official games this year, due to missed deadlines. However we are going to practice, get better, and be dominant come next August. The practice went well with some drills, play practice, and a scrimmage. Check out the Team on Three website, located at the bottom of the page. Username: DaveMello. Password: waffle.

Starting Quarterback Announcement

The owner, Joe, and I made an executive decision on the starting quarterback today. It was a tough choice because we wanted to have the best chance to win and we felt that the quarterback we were going with may not be the man for the job. We deliberated and have decided to have an in-game rotation. Alex will start the game at quarterback, but when the second quarter comes into play, Kyle will come in. In the third quarter, Alex, and the fourth quarter, Kyle. We felt that Alex had been awarded the starting job and maybe he just had an off day, but Kyle's day was far from off. So, yes, there will be a rotation. Congratulations to both Kyle Splaine and Alex Bahnan.

Today's Practice Recap

We started the day with an obstacle/conditioning course. Then we began a 5 on 5 scrimmage. The team which featured both Kyles, Alex Bahnan, Joe, and Dave won 7-3. We then practiced a few plays and then played a 3 on 3 scrimmage as four people left. The score of this was not recorded. The day concluded with miracle drives and a quarterback drill so we can discover our true starting quarterback which will be released later on today.

Headshots

Look sharp because we're gonna try to do headshots tomorrow for player profiles and a new header.

Hopeful Practice

We're gonna hope to get a practice in on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 at around 12:30 PM at the Memorial School Field. You best be there.
