What a season for West Central Youth Football!
West Central had two 5th/6th grade teams face off in the Tier 1 (highest division) Championship Game on Sunday, showcasing the talent and dedication of our young athletes.
The team coached by Justin Kubesh captured the championship with a 20-0 victory, finishing the season with an outstanding 8-1 record while allowing only 6 touchdowns all season.
The other West Central team also had an incredible year, finishing with a 7-2 record and allowing just 7 touchdowns throughout the season.
We are proud of the hard work, sportsmanship, and determination displayed by all of these athletes and coaches. Congratulations on an amazing season and representing West Central with excellence!
