This past Sunday a former founder of NFMJFA passed away. Doc Lillard served as President of NFMJFA and Midget Head Coach for many years. In 1991 he lead his Midget team to become Peace River Conference Champions. At the beginning of the Midget game Saturday we will have a moment of silence to honor him.


Coaches Comments

Mitey Mite Black: We sure did show Lehigh what NFM is all about! Our boys played awesome. They got out there and played their hearts out. We made some changes with our positions on offence and defense and it made a big difference. Our offence got out there and kicked butt by scoring 4 touchdowns. Our defense dominated by not letting Lehigh score at all. In fact they only got one 1st down the entire game! Way to go MMB. Lets show Riverdale what they get when they come to NFM!!!!!
Mitey Mite Red Knights: 34 Naples Titans 0: This was our first road game and we showed up ready to play, just ask the Titans. From the offense to the defense everyone gave 100%. The defense only gave up one first down, that make three total first downs given up for the year! Way top go Big "D". Special teams looked great! Now we have to prepare a very, very, tough Port Charlotte Bandit football squad. Please come out and support the Mitey Mites and the rest of our teams this weekend at home, we will need the fan support!
Jr Pee Wee FB: Brett Billman, Nick Guffey and Morgan Foreman each scored a touchdown in our 20-0 shutout of the Naples Titans. Dustin Dobbins had a monster game with 2 sacks, a fumble recovery, a fumble caused and an interception. Jonathan Pogue scored a safety and two tackles. Defense was strong with tackles from Josh Morrison, Robert Hraha and Dakota Bechtol. Tyler Upmann had another fumble recovery to add to last games along with Brett Billman (who also recovered an onside kick). Eric Huddleston and Matthew Vigne were impressive in the running game. Just like to congratulate Brett Billman for a 100 yard rushing game on six carries. Good luck this week.
Pee Wee FB: The Pee Wee Knights came back strong after a tough loss 2 weeks ago by dominating the Naples Titans 29-0. The red defense & white defense did not allow a 1st down and 18 players got to run the ball behind outstanding blocking by the white & strong offensive lines. Great Job by ALL! It will be a much tougher game this week vs Port Charlotte but we will be ready!
Jr Midget FB: 46 - Titans 0! Touchdowns by Josh Guffy(3) Daimin Rye(2) Trell Neal(1) Zane Lapaurh(1). Extra points by Trell, Zane, Darrin, Josh. Everybody did a great job said Coach Bill. Now the defense - We did super said Coach Rick. We had one breakdown but we’ll fix it. GREAT JOB. Great Job by our cheerleaders said Coach Bill. We play Pt Charlotte this week and their good. GO KNIGHTS BEAT PT CHARLOTTE!
