The 2008 season brought about the return of twelve-man football for the Plainsmen. The RMFL was split into two divisions with the Plainsmen, Parkwest, Vincent Massey and Neelin playing in the twelve-man division and Dauphin, Southwest, Neepawa, Virden and Stonewall staying in the nine-man division. 2009 brings the Plainsmen back to the Winnipeg High School Football League.

So they decided to spread some cheer at Christmas time by delivering goods for the Westman and Area Traditional Christmas Dinner committee and hampers for the Brandon Westman Christmas Cheer Registry. “I decided to volunteer and do something for Brandon,” said Brett Fry, a 15-year-old Grade 10 quarterback and defensive back with the Plainsmen. Fry was one of 30 volunteers from the junior varsity and varsity Plainsmen football squads taking time from their high school studies to help out. He also plans to help set up chairs and tables for the Traditional Christmas Dinner at the UCT Pavilion at the Keystone Centre. “I spend Christmas with my family every year and this year I decided to do something differently to help out Brandon,” Fry said. “The team will be out doing that.” Half of the volunteers were placed on delivery detail, where they assisted the Brandon Westman Christmas Cheer Registry in delivering some of their hampers on Monday. Sandra Wray, chairwoman of the Brandon Westman Christmas Cheer Registry, told the Brandon Sun they will deliver 994 hampers this year. The other half helped the Westman and Area Traditional Christmas Dinner committee, picking up donated turkeys and foodstuffs from Heritage Co-op and delivering them to the Keystone Centre. Both units will volunteer for parts of three days. Blaine Moroz, the head coach for the Plainsmen junior varsity football team, said it wasn’t hard to find winning volunteers. “It’s a life skill,” Moroz said. “It doesn’t really have anything to do with football. It’s the fact we have an opportunity to take some kids and help where help is needed.” The lessons learned away from the football field are designed to teach the merits of being a good citizen and volunteering for good causes. “It’s a great selfless act to see the kids step up,” Moroz said. “It’s a ton of work and I’ve been involved with it in the past. Whatever we can do to take the load off of someone else, it’s the right time to do it and the right reason to have it done.” kborkowsky@brandonsun.com |
