What are the
| The Blackmen consists of
6th through 8th graders. Athletes are more skilled in
this league and games can be quite intense. There are
also play-offs and athletes undergo
longer practices than the other Dolphins. After all a
state championship is involved! Most important they are
prepared for many things that confront them not only in
football, but also in life. The next step for a Blackmen
is high school football for which they will be very well
prepared. |
