An undefeated season

The Southwest Football League sixth grade Jaguars captured the SFL championship with a perfect 11 and 0 season. Made up of sixth graders from The Emery/Weiner School, the team showcased a balanced offense and dominant defense, with two quarterbacks throwing for double digit touchdowns, three players scoring 10 touchdowns or more, and 10 different players reaching the end zone, including one game with six different scorers. The defense added 18 interceptions with eight returned for touchdowns, 57 quarterback sacks, five sack safeties, and opened one game with safeties on the first two possessions.
