Local football players earn regional title

Posted

This past weekend, five local players participated in the 8th Grade Football University Tournament in Middletown as a part of team Rhode Island. The local group helped its squad secure victories over New Jersey, 36-12, and Connecticut, 18-6, en route to Rhode Island earning the regional championship.

After staking claim to the regional title, Rhode Island will now advance to the Elite 8 with an opportunity to move on to the national championship round on the line. If the team were to make it to the national bracket, tournament play would take place from Dec. 17-22 in Naples, Florida. Standing, from left to right, are: Teshawn Campbell, Ryan Schino, Coach Brian Iafrate, Hunter Remington and Dimetri Iafrate. Kneeling in front is Jake Lincourt.
