Week Four: Video Highlight of the Week

We had three very good video highlights sent in this week, but definitely need more!! There is a great highlight from the Midget’s Mountain Crest and Logan game, where “speed kills.” Also a great highlight from the Jr. Mites Ogden and Roy game where #33 makes a big hit and allows his teammate in for the score.  This week’s winner features the South Weber Knights and Washington Terrace Titans, with a big hit from #27.  Check them all out on our WFFL YouTube Channel! (If we can get more entries, we will start awarding a “Hit of the Week” and a “Highlight of the Week.”

Our Newest Association – South Weber Knights

The newest association to join the WFFL, the South Weber Knights, is the association of the week. With dreams of having their own program in the city of South Weber, the community rallied around local organizers to see it to fruition. Naysayers said there would be no way to field teams given the small community, and statistics showed they would have 50-60 players on the high end.

In October of 2008, they set out to prove the naysayers wrong. Through a grassroots effort of fund raising and awareness, the Knights raised over $25,000 with $1900 from city funds. The majority of the fund raising did not come from corporate sponsorships, but through the efforts of future football players, parents, grandparents, and community members by auctions, dinners, and various door-to-door fund raising endeavors.

The South Weber Knights fielded 5 teams: Jr. Mites, Mitey Mites, Jr. Pee Wee, Pee Wee, and Midget in their first year and have 113 active roster players.

We welcome the Knights to the WFFL and wish them the best in building their program.
