Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. is pleased to present this week’s                               “Gridiron Gamer of the                               Week” award to                                      Schulyer Frazier of                                Buffalo High School.

The Buffalo Bison                                  football team has had                                   a slow start to the                                   2008 season. The Bison went out to a 1-3 record, but fought back to have their current record at 3-3 going into this past week’s game against Clay County.  Buffalo, a single-A team, went into the game as the underdog against the AA Clay Panthers.  The Bison showed that they were not scared of any school as they outscored the Panthers 25-0 in the first quarter, and cruised to an easy 44-20 victory on the road. 

Schulyer Frazier led the explosive attack with 3 catches for 144 yards.  Each of those 3 receptions where also touchdowns.  When asked about his success, Schulyer said, “Our line did a good job.  Other receivers blocked well downfield and allowed me to get into the end zone.  Our defense played well, especially our linebackers, and we came together and were able to get the win.”  Head Coach Mike Sawyer agrees with his receiver.  “Schulyer had a good week. He has had an up and down season due to some injuries, but he came out and allowed us to jump on Clay County early.  He has developed into a fine all-around receiver this year,” says Coach Sawyer.

The Bison are not done with the 2008 season, and Schulyer hopes to help his team get into the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.  “We want to win out, which may allow us to jump high in the standings and get us into the playoffs.  There is also a chance we might be able to play at home for the first game, which is what we want to be able to do,” says Schulyer. 

Head Coach Mike Sawyer concurs. 

“We want to be able to play well at the end of the year.  I don’t think our record right now is indicative of how good we are.  We want to come out and play hard, take it one game at a time, and hopefully be in a position to get into the playoffs at the end of the year,” says Coach Sawyer.

Look for Schulyer and other local area high school athletes to be named next week’s Gridiron Gamer of the Week sponsored by Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc.
