X-Dawgs Flag Football

X-Dawgs Flag Football X-Dawgs Flag Football The X-Dawgs history is one of accidental happenstance. A young man wanted to play football with a bunch of his friends.

He didn't know then that the team would still be running, and winning, 10 years after that time. Steve Gayman brought the idea of the X-Dawgs to fruition in 2002. In the years following high school, many of his classmates either returned to the Newville, PA area or never had left. A close knit group of individuals that enjoyed sports, they longed for a common field to play alongside one another. A

lmost the entire roster that season was a graduate of Big Spring High School. The mascot at Big Spring was the venerable Bulldog. It seemed a simple transition to name the team after such a common thread. Being ex-students of Big Spring, and thinking they were a lot more hip than they really were, the nomenclature of X-Dawgs was born. They found a small community league in Shippensburg, PA, one town over, in which to play. That first year was their first championship. In the year following the initial one, Steve relinquished control of the team to two of its more prominent members, Zach James and Matt Eisenberg. Good friends for years and teammates on the football field for just as many. Both had gone on to Juniata College to further embrace their football careers in 1997. Taking the reins of a team of headstrong football players, that varied greatly in age, was no easy task for the young men, but their knowledge of the game helped them lead. With a cast of characters that changed throughout the years, they led the X-Dawgs to an unprecedented string of success in Shippensburg. The X-Dawgs won 5 league championships in 6 years and never lost more than 1 league game from 2002 to 2007. Also during this time, Matt and Zach decided to start playing in tournaments to prove the X-Dawgs team mettle against a different class of opponents. While sometimes overmatched in tournament play, the X-Dawgs were able to reign in 2 tournament titles as well. At the end of the 2007 season, Zach James moved to North Carolina for a job opportunity and left the X-Dawgs in the hands of Matt Eisenberg. Zach would still join the team in tournaments for the next few seasons, but his days as a guiding force to the team had come to an ending. Though he was no longer present in body, his influence is still seen on the team to this day. The 2008 year started like many others, with a trip to Ocean City, MD for the annual tournament. The main difference of this season though, was a change of league venue. Long feeling unchallenged in the Shippensburg league, the X-Dawgs switched leagues to the Washington County Flag Football League in Hagerstown, MD. Having seen some of the teams in the league in tournament play over the years, the X-Dawgs were convinced that this was the challenge they so richly needed. This new chapter was daunting at first, as the X-Dawgs suffered losses in their second and third games of that season. This means they started their new league by already having a worse regular season record than they had ever before realized. They soon found their rhythm and went on to win yet another championship. It would be the first of four straight Washington County Flag Football League Championships as of the end of the 2011 season. It would be the 9th championship in 10 years of existence. Entering that 10th year, the X-Dawgs had a small set of goals for themselves that season, to win their 100th career game, win their first major tournament championship, and win that 4th straight championship. They quickly realized their goals with two wins in their first action of the 2011 season to give them 100 and then, in their next tournament, brought home the major tournament championship that had eluded them. The X-Dawgs finished the year with regular season records totaling 85-12, with an overall record (including tournaments) of 115-46-1. The X-Dawgs hope to continue their dominance well into the next decade as well.
