St. Paul Minnesota, Concordia University, head football coach Mark Mauer has announced that Fillmore High School’s Quarterback Corey Cole has officially signed with the Golden Bears. Coach Mauer commented on the team’s overall recruiting class, “We are excited about our incoming class; we filled our position needs while bringing in a very talented group of young men.”

Corey will be the backup quarterback to Senior Spencer Ohm for the 2011 Season. He will be joining an elite group of athletes which for the 2010 season finished 8-4 overall. The Golden Bears finished with the third ranked passing attack in their conference and the offensive line protected it's skill position players to the point where the offense committed only 13 turnovers in 12 games. Only nine teams in the nation (151 teams) committed fewer turnovers on the season than Concordia football.

An All-CIF Quarterback, All-County MVP, Team Captain and Team MVP, Corey has been invited to play in this year’s All-County Football Game in June. He will leave for Concordia in July to join the Golden Bears as they prepare for their upcoming season. Corey is the son of Craig and Lynn Cole and the younger brother of Concordia’s starting offensive guard Curtis Cole.

Dear Flashes Baseball Supporters:

My name is Matt Suttle and I am once again the Head Baseball Coach at Fillmore High School. I am extremely honored and privileged to return to this program that has such a rich baseball tradition. Fillmore has won 22 league titles, four CIF titles and countless Junior Varsity championships. I understand what it means to wear a Flashes’ uniform having been a member of three league championship teams during the early 1980’s. I am looking forward to carrying on this proud tradition at my alma mater. The success of our program on the field throughout the years has been a joint effort with our local community; together we’ve been a great team!

Budget cuts in our schools make it difficult for our program to operate. I believe in providing our athletes with the best safety equipment and supplies. I want our athletes to feel good about who they are and where they come from. Therefore, I am extending this invitation for your organization to join our sponsorship program. The sponsorship program will help defray the costs of equipment for more than 30 athletes in our program as well as facility upgrades.

The Diamond Club sponsorship program will allow your organization to directly sponsor one of our student athletes. A full player or position sponsorship is $75. Sponsors may purchase the full sponsorship or a partial sponsorship ($25). Each player may have up to four sponsors. The sponsor’s name will appear in The Fillmore Gazette along with the name of the player and his position. Players of the week will be selected throughout the season. A picture of the player and their sponsors listed below them will appear in the local newspaper.

If you would like to participate in the Diamond Club sponsorship program please make your check payable to “Fillmore High School Baseball” and mail it to:

Matt Suttle
555 Central Ave
Fillmore, Ca 93015

For more information, please call me or leave a message at (805) 625-2639. On behalf of the entire Flashes Baseball program, I want to thank you for your time, your consideration and your generous support.

Thank you.
