Congratulations to the Watkins Hornets for their win at the Pee Wee Division 1 National Football Championship! The Hornets were the first D.C. team to ever compete in what is essentially the Super Bowl of Pee Wee football – that’s pretty impressive! They defeated the Florida City Razorbacks from Miami, Florida 22-8 and returned to D.C. on Sunday to a celebratory pep rally with Mayor Fenty.
According to the Washington Post:
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) said he watched the game on ESPN360. He was so impressed that he told the children that the District will give them Super Bowl champion jackets at a future council meeting and also said he will present the head coach, Delante Williams, with a key to the city…
…The Hornets are the first team sanctioned by the District’s Department of Parks and Recreation to win a Pop Warner national championship. The team finished the season undefeated after 15 games.
Many players had never traveled outside of the area. During the season, they took bus trips to play in Delaware and New Jersey and flew to Florida.
The Washington Post also posted this great video of the kids arriving to their pep rally.
