SECTION X
NORTHERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
2016
FOOTBALL TABLE OF CONTENTS
A note from the ‘Coordinator’
CANTON
05 11 15 26 31 35 38 GOLDEN BEARS
Welcome to the 2016 Section X Football season. We are pleased to partner with Sun Community News & Printing to bring you this great leaguewide, game-day program. As the upcoming season approaches, I think of all the great history that North Country football fans have experienced for over 100 years. This time of year brings out football fans of all ages.
GOUVERNEUR
WILDCATS
FRANKLIN ACADEMY
Last season, Malone led the Northern HUSKIES Athletic Conference (NAC) with an undefeated season. The Huskies beat Beekmantown in the first round of the NYSPHSAA Class B Playoffs, before falling to eventual state runner-up Schuylerville . Gouverneur outlasted a highly-competitive division to claim the Section X Class C banner. The Wildcats defeated AuSable Valley in the first round of the NYSPHSAA playoffs, before falling to eventual New York State Class C runner-up Greenwich. Tupper Lake also represented Section X in the NYSPHSAA OGDENSBURG Class D playoffs.
BLUE DEVILS
The Canton Golden Bears enjoyed a highly-productive 2015 regular season as they garnered the top seed for the Section X Class C playoffs. The St. Lawrence Central Larries had one of their most successful seasons in several years as they elevated to the Section X Class C final. Massena, O.F.A. and Potsdam will be eager to build on their experiences from last year, as they all look to have an impact during what promises to be a very exciting NAC season in 2016. The eight competing will tangle for the regular-season NAC championship and then break off into classes for NYSPHSAA playoff purposes. This season’s Section X classification breakdown includes Class A Massena, Class B schools Malone and Potsdam, Class C schools Canton, Gouverneur, Ogdensburg and St. Lawrence Central, as well as Class D Tupper Lake.
POTSDAM
STANDSTONERS
ST. LAWRENCE
LARRIES
Throughout the 2016 NAC football season, players from across Section X will strive to create their own memories and have a lot of fun in the process. Some players will undoubtedly make their marks for future generations of North Country football fans to reflect upon. I hope you all enjoy the football and appreciate TUPPER LAKE the hard work and dedication that these players have invested LUMBERJACKS in their seasons. The coaches and players appreciate the outstanding support that they receive from their communities. I feel very lucky to live in northern New York. Please be a great fan and enthusiastically support your team, while respecting each opponent.

TEEN CONCUSSION
A PARENTS GUIDE STAYING HYDRATED By Shawn Ryan
feedback@suncommunitynews.com Across the North Country, the dreaded two-a-days, or in some case just plain old long and grueling single practices, have shaken our local athletes out of their summer induced ennui and started the process of whipping them back into playing shape. While coaches go over everything from cleats to practice drills to bus schedules, one thing that should be in the forefront of their minds is proper hydration for young athletes. Even with the dog-days of summer largely behind, the need to drink enough fluids during a workout is essential for not just the performance of the athlete, but for their health as well. According to the Mayo Clinic: “Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated.” While symptoms of dehydration can range from the simple to acute, high school athletes have actually died from severe dehydration during grueling practices in recent years. The debate often arises as to what type of drinks hydrate the best; water or sports drinks. Theories abound. “For most outdoor activities, good old fashioned tap water does the trick,” says an article at Web MD. “If your activity lasts an hour or more, either fruit juice diluted with water or a sports drink will provide carbohydrates for energy plus minerals to replace lost electrolytes in your sweat.”
22
Somewhere in this mix falls the newest kid on the hydration block: “Fitness waters,” which are lightly flavored waters which claim to be fortified with vitamins and minerals. According to Web MD, they fall somewhere in the middle between water and Gatorade or Powerade. But the general consensus seems to be, if the flavoring of the water gets the athlete to drink more, then fitness waters are a good thing. But how much is enough?
Right now, what may seem like “overkill” will help ensure that your teen has the best chance to heal and rejoin the team safely. After all we all want what’s best for our kids both today and for a lifetime.
S
ports should be an integral part of the life of every teen. It teaches teambuilding, sportsmanship and dedication. However, concussions are sometimes the unwanted result of sports participation.
A concussion may also be referred to as a “head injury” or “mild traumatic brain injury”. A concussion is not a bruise to the brain; it’s an interruption of how the brain works. A concussion results when the athlete is strongly bumped or jolted causing the brain to move or twist inside the skull. Only 10% of concussions result in the athlete losing consciousness. Anyone can get a concussion, however, the fact that they are still growing makes it that much easier for children and teens to experience brain movement. In most cases, hits to the head do not result in a concussion. That is because the brain is protected by the skull; a very hard covering made of bone that works like a helmet. Hit hard enough, such as a high impact helmet to helmet hit, the brain can be shaken around inside the skull causing a concussion.
Most experts agree that pre-hydrating with about two cups of fluid an hour before the workout is essential. During the activity, four to six ounces for every 15 to 20 minutes of exercise will keep the muscles hydrated during the workout. Taking breaks during practice to drink is critical as well, rather than trying to make it all up after practice.
Concussions and other brain injuries are fairly common. About every 21 seconds, someone in the United States has a serious brain injury. One of the most common reasons teens get concussions is through a sports injury. Contact sports such as football, pose a higher risk of head injury, even with the use of protective headgear. According to the Institute of Medicine, high school football players are nearly twice as likely to get concussions as college counterparts or high school athletes playing other sports; as many as 20 percent of athletes who get a concussion have symptoms that linger more than two weeks.
Also, an athlete should not wait until they are thirsty before stopping for a drink. By then, dehydration has already begun, and re-hydration can take a while to take hold.
What can I as a parent do?...As parents we must be the advocate for our teen athletes. Too many times everyone is caught up in the excitement of the game and the athlete will try to “tough it out”. This can result in the athlete suffering what is called Second Impact Syndrome. This is when an athlete suffers a second concussion before the first one has had time to
On one point all the experts agree — energy drinks should not be part of the hydration mix. While athletes might think they are getting an energy boost after consuming an energy drink, the exact opposite is true. That’s because energy drinks containing large amounts of caffeine can cause dehydration, which can lead to fatigue, and increase body temperature and heart rate, which can compromise performance. Whether it’s water, sports drink or vitamin water, drinking an adequate amount is critical at this time of the year for young athletes, and it’s up to both coaches and athletes to keep the athlete safe.

THESE SIGNS INCLUDE: Physical
• Lack of energy, slow-moving
• Headaches
• Blurry or double vision
• Fatigue, seeming tired, trouble staying awake
• Sensitivity to noise or light
• Trouble sleeping
• Dizziness, feeling lightheaded • Nausea

heal. To be a victim of Second Impact Syndrome the athlete doesn’t even have to be hit very hard. The brain is already vulnerable so even a sight hit to the head or even the chest can result in uncontrollable swelling of the brain, very often resulting in long term disability or even death. It’s important to recognize the signs of a concussion and help the teen understand that going back too soon could have lifelong consequences.
IF YOU THINK YOUR CHILD MIGHT HAVE A CONCUSSION IMMEDIATELY CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
trained in spotting and treating concussions. Some good websites to visit that might help both of you understand the severity of the event. kidshealth.org/teen/safety/first_aid/concussions, talks to teens about what to expect, or heads up parents.org has video interviews with teens describing their experience with concussion; click on the resources tab.
Healing time for a concussion should not be hurried. Along with sitting out a few games and practices probably the hardest part of a concussion for your teen will be, “No video games, no texting, no using the computer, and no watching TV,” says Tracey Covassin, PhD, an athletic trainer and concussion expert at Michigan State University. Even though games, texting, and watching TV seem simple, your teens’ brain has to work to keep track of what’s happening on the screen. These activities should be avoided for about 7-10 days, in most cases. Of course, your doctor has the last word on exactly how much time you need. Depending on the severity of the concussion your teen may experience difficulty with school work and maintaining the busy schedule teens keep. It may be necessary to miss or curtail school for a few days; again your physician and your teen will help you make these decisions. As long as your child is having any symptoms caused by the concussion, it will be very important to prevent Second Concussion Syndrome (see below).
Thinking (Cognitive)
Emotional and Behavioral
• Not remembering how the concussion happened
• Becoming easily annoyed or angry, seeming cranky and irritable
• Becoming easily confused
• Feeling worried or nervous
• Slowness in thinking, seeming “foggy” or “zoned out”
• Seeming emotional, crying more easily than normal
• Difficulty paying attention
• Not seeming like himself/herself, personality changes
• Forgetfulness, memory problems • More difficulty at school than normal
Published by Sun Community News & Printing
My child has been diagnosed with a concussion…Now What? Be alert for symptoms that worsen. In the first 1-2 days after the injury, you should watch your child very carefully. You know your child; you should get immediate medical help if your child: • Loses consciousness
• Is very confused
• Is extremely sleepy or drowsy and can’t be awakened
• Has trouble talking or slurred speech
• Vomits repeatedly
• Has a seizure (arms or legs shake uncontrollably)
• Gets a headache that worsens, lasts for a long time, or is severe • Has weakness, numbness, trouble walking, or decreased coordination • Has difficulty recognizing familiar people
• Cries nonstop and cannot be comforted • Has any other sudden or unusual change in thinking or behavior Resources: WebMD, Concussion in Children and teenagers: information for Parents and other Caregivers (2006), by Michael W.
