Got to escape the Arizona Summer heat for a while for the coverage of the NYS National Championship Tournament. While our team didn’t make the finals, we had a great time in San Diego and watched some excellent teams compete.
All these boys, win or lose, should feel proud – they all play some excellent ball.

This was the game I’ve been waiting for all season, the Gladiators were matched up against the Spartans pretty equally and had similar records coming into the game, of course only one team would leave the field improving that record.
The Spartans drew first blood after their defense put a stop to the Gladiators first drive, they put on an ariel attack that got them into the end zone. The Spartans held onto their lead into the 2nd half, but the Gladiators got their running game going and got into the end zone twice but missing both the extra points, the Spartans would only need a touch down to get the win. Late in the 4th quarter the Spartans mounted their attack moving the ball down field, but a spectacular interception by the Gladiators put an end to the drive, and the game. And thus the Gladiators left the field victorious, but both teams kids played their hearts out and it was an excellent game to end the season on.
