Linganore Lancers Youth Football 2009
Last season’s participation in the MMYFCL was smooth and extremely successful. We had 16 teams participate in the league 13 of which were old enough to compete in the playoffs and we had 11 out of 13 qualify for the playoff rounds of competition. Congratulations to coach Garlock and his 10U team for winning the league championship and to Coach Swiger for making it the Semi-Final game at the State Championship. The MMYFCL is very competitive with tremendous parity among its members. As an organization we had a tremendously successful season. Thank you to all the Coaches, Team Administrators, parents, players and volunteers for a very pleasant, productive 2008. We look forward to a great 2009 Season. Go Lancers! Fear the Spear!
