Metuchen Pop Warner: MHS Football isn't the only winning team in town!

Pop Warner's Mighty-Mite division recently wrapped-up a winning season. Head coach and football director Sergio Corvil explains the conference does not keep standings for the Mighty-Mite division, but in all 10 games played, they defeated every team they faced for a perfect season.  An instructional division of 7 to 9 year olds weighing a maximum of 90 lbs, Mighty-Mites is open to any child wishing to play.  Participants learn the basic fundamentals of tackle football.  This season took the team of 21 boys and 1 girl to games throughout central New Jersey.  Assisted by coaches Mike Volpe, John Mcpartlan, Steve Epstein, and Brian Pelayo, coach Corvil led the kids to victory with no injuries - all players wear protective gear. 

This year, Metuchen Pop Warner had five football teams and 4 cheerleading teams.  Other divisions in the league are Flag (ranging in age from 5-7 yrs), Junior Pee Wee, the first level of competitive football (8-10 yrs and a max weight of 105 lbs), Pee Wee (9-11 and a max weight of 120 lbs or 12 yr olds who weigh up to 100 lbs) and Midgets, the oldest level (mainly 7th and 8th graders with a max weight of 160 lbs).  Their season starts on August 1st.  Check out www.metuchenpopwarner.com for more information. 

And on November 16^th at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, the Pop Warner Pee Wee Cheerleaders took 5^th place at this year's Pop Warner Eastern Regional Cheerleading Championships.   Competing in the finals against 19 other teams from NJ, NY, PA, MD, and D.C, it's the best finish of any Metuchen Pop Warner squad.  The team is comprised of 13 girls in grades 4 through 6.
