La Costa Pop Warner Midget Team Wins Division 1 Championship

The La Costa Canyon Mavericks Midget Pop Warner football team finished their undefeated season with a 38-0 win over the Rancho Bernardo Broncos on Nov. 1 – clinching the Palomar Conference division title and qualifying them for the Regional Championships, which will be played against the Rancho Santa Margarita Eagles on Nov. 22 in La Mirada, CA.

The team has had an amazing 10-0 season, recording 6 shutouts and scoring 334 points, while allowing only 28 points to be scored against them.

If the team wins the Regional Championship game, they will be one of only eight Division 1 Midget teams in the nation heading to Florida for the 2014 Pop Warner Super Bowl Championships, which will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex ™ in Lake Buena Vista during the first full week of December.

Comprised of 22 boys, ages 13-14, from Encinitas and Carlsbad, the LCC Maverick Midgets are currently seeking community, corporate and individual support to help offset travel expenses for their anticipated trip to Florida.

The team is part of the nationwide Pop Warner program, founded in 1929, that continues to grow and serves as the only youth football, cheerleading and dance organization that requires its participants to maintain academic standards in order to participate. Pop Warner’s commitment to academics is what separates the program from other youth sports around the world. In addition, Pop Warner is the only youth football program that sets and enforces a strict age and weight matrix that reduces the risk of injury by insuring that participants compete with kids of similar age and size.
