FMF Magazine - covering the central Hunterdon area’s premier youth football and cheer program

THE FMF WAYFor over 45 years, Flemington Midget Football has provided instruction and support to thousands

of successful athletes. During that time, we have developed a unique culture, based around five

core beliefs that guide everything we do. “The FMF Way”, is what al lows us to successful ly

develop our athletes physical ly, mental ly and emotionally while providing them with positive

experiences and memories that wil l last a l ifetime. THE FMF WAY is:

FAMILYOnce a member, always a member

SAFETYAthlete safety first, last & always

TEACHINGCoaching is teaching

TEAMWEH not me

SUCCESSShare the work, share the reward

Team success is a by-product of coaches developing every athlete to their personal potential as

they progress through the program. Good teams become great when coaches view practice as an

opportunity to help their athletes grow and develop and when athletes view practice as an

opportunity to maximize their contribution to the team.

No one can win by themselves. We all have to trust and rely on each other for the team to be

successful. Both coaches & athletes must be prepared to do whatever is necessary for the good of

the team. Great teams are built on Teamwork, Dedication, Effort and Trust. . . lessons that wil l help

our athletes succeed in sports and in l ife.

I t is every coach’s responsibi l ity to teach the fundamental ski l ls and strategies of their sport to ALL

of their athletes. I t is every athlete’s responsibi l ity to put forth the effort to learn. I f an athlete gives

the effort, coaches must do whatever is necessary to help them learn and improve. Athletes that

progress through our program giving honest effort WILL enter high school with a competitive

advantage in skil ls and tactics

The health and safety of our athletes comes before everything else. Parents trust us with their

chi ldren; we must do everything in our power to return them safely. Athletes must let their coach

know if they are injured and must not return to action unti l they are ful ly ready.

Whenever an athlete competes as a Pioneer or Jr. Red Devil , they join a long tradition of

excellence. Many have come before us; we must honor their work by our actions. Many wil l come

after us; we must provide them with a program to be proud of. Once an athlete becomes part of

our FMF family, they wil l forever be welcome here.

Flemington Midget Football is a 501 (c)3 organization dedicated to improving the youth of Hunterdon Countythrough competitive Football and Cheer. One of the oldest youth football organizations in the area, from our

founding in 1 967 through 201 0, FMF teams were exclusively known as the Flemington Pioneers. Since 2009, wehave undergone tremendous growth and have reclaimed our original name of FMF. In 2009, we added our

extended season competition cheer team. In 201 0, with the addition our Hunterdon Jr. Red Devils teams, ourfootbal l offerings were expanded from four football teams participating in one league to ten football teamsparticipating in three leagues. In 201 3 we were able to offer, for the first time, an Extended Season Cheer

Training Squad for girls who were either too young or not yet prepared for the rigors of our Extended SeasonComp. Team. Thoughout al l of our recent growth, we have worked hard to stay true to our guiding principles ,"The FMF Way", and maintain our position as the premier youth football and cheer program in the central

Hunterdon region.

Pioneers Throw Scare into Top Ranked Panthers

Saturday night’s game was a tale of two

halves. The Flemington Pioneers Varsity team

went toe-to-toe with the top ranked Washington

Township Panthers through the first half, but

eventual ly succumbed to the powerful Panther

rushing attack. The Panthers were paced by

superback Taj Morris who came into the game

with a league-leading 1 0 touchdowns through

three weeks of action.

The Panthers jumped out to a quick 1 3-0

lead behind the powerful running of Morris and

expected another easy victory, but the Pioneers

showed a fight not seen by previous Panther opponents. A 65-yard Pioneer touchdown

pass from Justin Torres to his twin

brother Brian Torres stunned the

Panther defense and closed the gap to

1 3-8. After surrendering another score,

the Pioneers mounted a bruising drive

on the ground, with Dan Furmato

running hard behind crushing blocks by

Jeff Anderson, Dylan Campbell and

Jaylaan Taylor. The drive was capped

off by a 7 yard touchdown run by Justin

Torres to bring the score to 20-1 4 late in

the second quarter.

With momentum turning to their side, the Pioneer defense stiffened and began to

push the potent Panther offense backward with group TFL’s by Furmato, Joey Whalen,

Wil l iam Markey, Jordan Cameron and RJ

Thornton but Morris and the Panther offense

couldn't be contained forever and final ly

broke free for a score with under a minute to

go in the half.

The second half saw the Pioneer

defense begin to wilt under the relentless

pressure of Morris and the potent Panther

rushing attack, but the team fought val iantly

of the game played between these two teams. Second-half Pioneer highl ights included runs

by Pasquale Vizzoni and a critical 3rd down pass completion from Alex DiMartino to Taylor.

The Pioneers seek to right their ship next weekend as they travel across the Delaware

JAMES L. "JIMMY" WILSONOur Number One Fan

Jimmy Wilson left a lasting memory with everyone who visited Pioneer Field throughout the 1 980's and early1 990's. While his wheelchair kept him from taking part on the field, it couldn't keep him from being part of theteam. At the end of every summer, l ike the changing of the seasons, Jimmy was there to usher in footbal l

season. He was as much a part of the Pioneer family as the crack of pads echoing through the crisp autumn airand the roar of the crowd on game day. For close to a decade, Jimmy never missed a game, indeed, he nevermissed a practice in al l of his time with us. His love for the game and for the team was infectious and wil l be

forever remembered. In 1 994, after his passing, the organization recognized Jimmy's contribution to our familyby naming the playing field after him and retiring the number one jersey, in memory of their #1 fan.

JOSEPH YASHKAS6/4/85 - 4/29/00 : Forever a Pioneer

Joey Yashkas was a Pioneer through and through. He played football for the program and was a greatteammate and a key member of the team from his peewee days through his eigth grade season. As much ashe loved football and his teammates, Joey also loved racing motorcycles. I t was this love that took Joey from usfar too soon. After the tragic motorcycle accident that took his l ife in 2000, the organization retired his number55 and decreed that in remembrance of Joey and Jimmy, their numbers 1 and 55 be painted in the corner of the

endzone for every home game so that they wil l always be part of our family.
