We head to the Pee Wee field for the Winter Season. And for the Season Opener, the Eagles faced off against the Tigers. While the Tigers appeared to be a well seasoned young crew putting the points on the board early, the Eagles put up a heart filled fight – but in the end the Tigers’ experience lead them to victory.
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.

Week 4 of the season and the Spartans square off against the Knights in a very physical football game. There were some big hits by both teams. The first half was dominated by the Knights, whose unconventional offensive set, where their running backs line up shoulder to shoulder with the quarterback and all pose to take the snap, really threw the Spartan’s defense. By the time the Spartans adjusted and started to contain, there were just too many points on the Knights side of the board. A truly excellent battle though.
Week 3 finds the Wildcats meeting the Spartans on the field, and once again the Spartans Defense was on fire, keeping the Wildcats out of the endzone. The Wildcats’ defense also did a good job up front, pluging up any holes and shutting down any hope of running the ball up the middle. But you can only stop what you can catch and that’s where the Spartan’s speed was able to get around to the outside and take 2 to the ‘house’ for win. Great Game guys.
