Two Putnam County youth leagues faceoff at Lucas Oil Stadium

On Saturday, September 17, Greencastle Youth Football and Cloverdale Youth Football fifth and sixth graders traveled to Lucas Oil Stadium to play one another where the pros play.  The game was more of a scrimmage, but an experience these young athletes will always remember.

 

“Keeping these athletes engaged and excited about football is our goal.  We want to keep them loving the game.  These kids are our future Clovers and Tiger Cubs.  I am so excited to see them grow as teams and players” Said GYF president Brooke Trissel.

 

The athletes from both teams were full of excitement and smiles as they ran onto the field, with their family and friends cheering them on from the stands.  The game was not about winning and losing, it was about these athletes experiencing something great, experiencing being on the pro field not as two separate leagues, but as athletes from Putnam County showing great sportsmanship, friendship, and the love for football. It is an experience that they will not soon forget and such a magical night for both leagues.
