Granite Bowl Flag
Football Tournament
The NSFFL took a
9-11 division all-star team to take part in the Granite Bowl at
SNHU. The team included Spencer Persson, Devon Allen, Cameron
Loizides, Nick LePore, Caesar Lopez, Jordan and Tyrese Joseph.
The NSFFL is still looking for ALL-STAR players for the NFL
Regional tournament this fall and so far from scrimmages and
tournaments the league has selected 4 players to represent the
league they are Devon Allen (Peabody), Spencer Persson (Peabody)
and Henny Vlaun (Salem) Jake Gustin (Peabody).
The All-stars had a tough start to the day as they drew Red
Storm from Pelham, NH in the first game. The all-stars came out
firing and scored first but the well coached Red Storm answered
back quickly. The game went back and forth with not many stops
on Defense and at the end of regulation the Red Storm took the
victory 26-19. Persson and Allen combined for the Peabody
points, with Allen intercepting the ball once and Jordan
intercepted 2 extra point conversions by the Red Storm. |

In the second game
the All-stars played another team from Pelham but this time it
was the NHFFL Bills. The All-stars defense stepped up a notch
with 4 interceptions from Allen, Lopez and Loizides and and shut
out the Bills 27-0. Scoring came from Persson, Allen, Joseph and
Lopez. In the final round robin game the All-stars faced the
North Kingstown Thunder Birds from RI. At half time the
Thunderbirds were leading the game 13-12, but with TD's from
Allen X2, Persson and 2 interceptions returned for TD's by
LePore and Cameron the All-stars won the game 33-13.
In the Play-offs the All-stars received the #2 ranking and faced
the Bills again, this time the Bills were stronger on defense as
they kept the score 0-0 at the half. In the second half the
All-stars played with a little more energy as they scored twice
from a Jordan pass to LePore and another interception returned
for a TD by Allen to win 14-0. The Championship game saw the
All-stars face the Red Storm again and like the first game the
All-stars scored first with a Jordan pass to Allen for a TD,
Loizides converted the extra point but that would be the only
scoring the All-stars would do as the Red Storm ran away with
the game 34-7, the only other highlight was another Allen
Interception.
The All-stars played well all day and QB Jordan received MVP
Honors for his several TD passes and leadership, the team also
received runners up medals.
The team will be holding more "Try-outs" over the summer through
scrimmages and tournaments. Thank you to everyone that made the
trip north and we are looking forward to going back next year to
do it all again.
