Platinum champions

The pouring rain did not stop the Memorial 7on7 Saints football team, who came out victorious for their fall season, playing their final game in rough weather. The team went undefeated 14-0 and won the varsity platinum championship game the first weekend in November. The team was made up of sixth-grade boys from various schools, many of whom have played together on the team for years. Their final game against the Cowboys was a nail-biting finish to their season, with a score of 30-23. Pictured (standing from left) are players Finn Beddingfield, John Wylie, Beau Teare, Charlie Amis, Matthew Hodge, Dylan Harvey, Terry Boffone, Brady Harting, Stefan Mathew; (front row, kneeling, from left) Andy Koch, Reid Crosby; and coaches (back row, from left) Corey Warren, Blake Beddingfield, Danny Harvey, Travis Koch, and Terry Boffone.
