Youth football director stepping down after 7 years

Eric Spady retiring after 7 years of running league

After seven years of heading up the Bayfield Young American Football League, Eric Spady is hanging up his cleats.

He's coached a lot of practices and games, heard from more than his share of grumbling parents, and also has helped celebrate five Super Bowl championships won by Bayfield teams over the years, including this year's third-grade team.

"It's always been about the kids," he said Sunday at a surprise party thanking him for his seven years of work running the league.

A board is taking over Bayfield YAFL, headed by Justin Ross, Kristina Serrano and Shaun White, with assistance from other volunteers.
