Eighth grader Louis Davies and seventh grader Jacob Bystryk hail from Springville and are playing in their second and third years on the team, respectively.Three Springville sixth graders, Jarrett Wolf, Chase Judkiewicz and Jake Galvin, are also a part of the team.“It’s something that we want to keep growing,” said Head Coach Chris Jones, about his team.” This year, I have the most kids on the team that I’ve ever had. It’s really important to us, that we continue to grow the program, so that even if we lose a couple kids next year, we aren’t scrambling to keep our numbers around 20.”The Springville/Pioneer team plays games against Hamburg, Canisius, West Seneca, East Aurora, Alden, Cleveland Hill, JFK, Lake Shore and Orchard Park, to name a few.Jones said...
