We hosted the 1st annual Jr. Industrial Bowl with our 9 and 10 blue team and our 11 and 12 blue team this past Saturday. We had an excellent day for football as we had 6 games during the day. I would like to thank the Portland Youth Football League and the Celina Youth Football teams for committing to this bowl. I'd also like to thank the MCHS cheerleading squad for working the concession stand and all the parents who allowed their child to play or cheer on our teams. I especially want to thank each young man and woman who played on these teams and I want to let you know that you will always be winners in life. Thank you for playing your hearts out and I hope to see all of you next year playing football again.
