Honoring Javarius Gus-Williams- JV players present the family of Javarius with commemorative jerseys and a helmet autographed by each of the JV players for the 2025 season that kicked off today.
Before the start of the JV game on Saturday, the Batavia Bulldawgs held a moment of silence in memory of Javarius Gus-Williams, 10, who passed away during the offseason after a house fire on Vine Street in February.

Javarius would have been a part of this season’s JV team, and he is deeply missed by his teammates, friends, family, and everyone in the Bulldawg organization.
During today’s tribute, the Bulldawgs presented a commemorative helmet and jerseys to Javarius’ family. In his honor, all Bulldawg players will wear a #97 decal on their helmets this season, and the CheerDawgs will proudly display his number on their cheer bows.
