CLYFL Teams Win 3 of 4 Matchups in the 2021 Spring Championships
The Central Loudoun Youth Football League reigned supreme in the Loudoun Youth Football Association’s Spring Championship games. Teams from three leagues participated. The CLYFL was well represented with 5 teams competing in the 4 final games. “It was epic,” says Alan Siek, a CLYFL coach and board member. “Our athletes played so well and really demonstrated the fundamentals, teamwork, and sportsmanship we teach every day.”
The A8 Giants defeated the Jaguars from the Lower Loudoun Youth Football League with a 6-0 win. “We wish all these talented young men well as they move on to high school!” says Melissa Martini, a spokeswoman for the league.
Our A7 champions, the Jets, also racked up a 6-0 victory over the Steelers from Lower Loudoun. Their power-packed defense impressively shut out their opponents!
In one of the most rewarding matchups, two CLYFL rivals, the Mountaineers and the Cornhuskers, battled for the B league championship. Their defensive struggle ended in a 7-6 victory for the Cornhuskers.
In our C league, the Hokies fell to the Upper Loudoun Packers 26-8. But every one of the team’s 13 players deserves special recognition for playing both ways all season long. Way to go, Hokies!
The Spring Championship games brought the teams, players, and families back to the fields after the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly aborted the 2020 season. The entire league celebrated the chance to get our athletes back to the game they love.
The League will be returning to a full roster of games in the fall of 2021. Registration for both football and cheer is open through August 1. If you would like to give your child the opportunity to learn from the best, visit www.clyfl.org . “Playing football with best friends is by far the best experience you can give a young child,” according to Dennis Martini, the League’s Director of Equipment. “Don’t pass up the chance to teach your kid skills and values they will use forever.”
