Another Notch In the Belt For New London Youth Football Juniors

New London's Junior B team beat Westerly 26-0. The next game will be at Plainfield on Sunday.

New London Youth Football Junior B team played Westerly last night and came away with another victory. The final score was 26-0, with great passing from Thomas Manual, great catching by Elijah Martinez, and some powerful running from Jo Jo Lucas, Elijah Robinson, and Niko Briggs. In the 3rd quarter, Elijah Martinez had a great 50-yard pass from TJ Thomas Manual for a touchdown. Leilani McClellan, the only girl on the team, had a interception run back 45 yards for a touchdown.

"I was very proud of my kids today," writes Head Coach Calvin Fort. "They showed that they wanted to play hard and did not want to stop or give up. They make me so happy!"

The next game for all the Juniors will be Sunday in Plainfield at noon. The game was originally scheduled to be played in New London but was switched due to bleacher construction.
