Canton Youth Football 7th graders reach Super Bowl
By Canton Citizen
It was a season to remember for Canton Youth Football’s seventh grade team, which advanced all the way to the AYF Super Bowl for the first time. Led by head coach Jeff Eckler and assistants Mark Thomas, Pat Hurley, Rick Darr, Dennis Crowe, Jay Baldiga, Chris Kennedy and Jack Connolly, the Bulldogs went 8-1 against a tough slate of Hockomock League teams before meeting their match against North Attleboro (also 8-1) at Dedham High School last month.
Team members included Ryan Crowe, Alex Darr, JJ Eckler, Abel Kesselman, Richie Savery, Declan Anastasia, George Max Kimball, Mike Simone, Rowan Hurley, Max Thomas, Anthony Pazini, Jordan Blair, Sean Kennedy, Colton Baldiga, Tommy Foley, Rory McDonald, Kam Camillo, Ronan French, Jax Son, Brian Flannery, Luke Erhard, John Joyce and Matthew Dutkiewicz.
The Bulldogs would like to thank the high school squad, who came down to run live plays against them, the eighth-grade team for all the scrimmage time, and Ed and Keri Mantie from Mantie Strength Academy for preparing them to be “stronger, bigger and faster!”
