Mount Hope Preview

For the second year in a row Coach Sean Smith and his staff have a team one win away from a trip to Florida.   The Amherst Patriot Pee Wee’s will compete for the Division 2 New England Championship this Saturday at 10:45AM on Foley Stadium in Worcester, Mass against the Mount Hope Cowboys from Providence, RI. (winners of the Ocean State League, for tournament brackets click here)

Mount Hope and Amherst both held off very tough opponents in the Semifinals for the right to this rematch of last year’s Jr. Pee Wee Championship game. The game will feature many of the same coaches and kids from last year game. The Patriots lost to the Cowboys 25-6, so as if getting to nationals wasn’t enough, the Patriots are looking to settle the score. These two teams play very different styles of football.  The Cowboys known for speed and pizazz, the Patriots for playing old school grind it out football. This should be a great game!

Winners of the New England Regional Championships will advance to the 55th annual Pop Warner Super Bowl at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex™ in Lake Buena Vista, FL, Saturday, Dec. 3-10. The last time a New Hampshire team competed in the Pop Warner National Championship Tournament was Plymouth, NH in 1997.
