Pop Warner Little League Football Champs! (S.T.A. Raiders)

[JRidge]

Congratulations goes out to the Success Through Athletics (S.T.A. Raiders) for their outstanding 2011 Season!  All 4 teams made it to the Pop Warner Area Championship Finals and the Flag, Mitey Mite and PeeWee teams came home with 1st Place Trophies!  The Junior PeeWee team lost to the Beaumont Crusaders by a touchdown after a questionable penalty from the Referee for Raiders having 5 men in the backfield in a pro-set! The play was a 60 yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak with 2:00 min left to play in the 4th quarter, after the line judge spotted the receiver as being lined up properly!  I think they got us after I checked out his job duties!

[color=red]Definition: The referee is the official that has control of the game and is generally the final authority in all decisions. Among his duties are:
• Announce all penalties
• Explain penalties to the offending team's captain
• Explain penalties to the head coach of the offending team and inform him of who it was called against
• Position himself in the backfield, approximately 10 yards behind the quarterback, before each snap
• Monitor illegal hits on the quarterback
• Watch for illegal blocks near the quarterback
• Determine whether the yardage chains should be brought on the field for a measurement

You can tell the referee from the other officials because he is the only one that wears a white hat. All other officials wear black hats. [/color]

This program is only in its 4th season and will be playing for an opportunity to play in the National Championship Tournament at Disney World in Orlando Florida!

They will play against the College Station Raiders on this up coming Saturday in College Station Texas! Wish Them Luck!  Between the 4 Raider Teams they have lost a combined 3 games total with the Mitey Mite and PeeWee Teams going undefeated!

WAY 2 GO RAIDERS!

What city is your team out of?  We used to play with the Beaumont Crusaders(2007-2009), but only had two other teams locally to play against, the Port Arthur Bees and Port Arthur Cowboys.  It got old playing the same two teams over and over.

Good Luck to yall!
