LC Youth Football League President Kenny Muncy
LEAGUE PRESIDENT’S COMMENTS
“… It was a tough one man.”
“…Saturday was a huge day for our league. Our C team played a phenomenal team to a very tight game and just couldn’t get it done, but they have a ton to be proud of and we have a lot to build on there for the future.”
“… The A team just deserved to win. They have been in our league for 5-6 years and have had plenty of ups and downs, but for them to be able to put it together and leave on top was awesome. To see things come full circle for Tom and that group of kids was great.”
