Firecrackers enjoy Success at Northeast Elite Showcase

Three Firecracker teams enjoyed good success playing out of state at the Northeast Elite Showcase at UMass, Amherst. Both the 14U and 13U teams went unbeaten, and the 12U went 2 and 2 playing in the 13U division. The results included the 14U team convincingly beating Connecticut Storm. The Storm are the defending CT state champions and placed fifth at Nationals last year. The game was won at the defensive end, as solid team defence held the Storm to just 23 points
