The Bronx Warriors : The Story Of A Neighborhood Football Team

This is the story of a sandlot football team; its genesis is in 1948 on the upper East Side. In 1952, the team took on its name, the Warriors. Spanning decades, the Bronx Warriors exists to this day as a Youth Football Organization. This is also the story of one man, the original quarterback in 1948, Jerry "Jay" Demers who never let go of the team he put together. From player/coach to coach to head administrator, Jerry has coached over ten-thousand players and influenced many lives. He has been honored with a proclamation from Senator Jeff Klein and an award from Bronx County for his service to the community and its youth. The story of Jerry Demers and the Bronx Warriors are intertwined. You cannot have one without the other. I do hope that in reading this account will provide you with fond memories and takes you back to your youth.
