The 2009 Del-Valley Pop Warner Champions have been crown this past weekend. Good Job to all of our 2009 participants and CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners of the 2009  and cheer season.

On October 3rd Del-Valley Pop Warner held its first cheer competition at Upper Darby High School. It was a tremendous event and all of the young ladies that took part had a wonderful time. The Children Advancing Toward Success (CATS) had their tiney mite squad participate in the demonstration division the young ladies were well received and put together a wonderful program. In the mitey mite division the YAP Trojans young ladies performed well with their routine in demonstrating flips, hand stands cartwheels and stunts. That was a great job by both of our demonstration squads. In the jr. peewee division, the Dynasty Dragons were outstanding in their routine with filps, motion and movements. They were really one of a kind. The Saints were another outstanding, these girls really put together a show for eveyone to admire. There were smiles and loud chants along with good movement and the crowd really enjoyed the Saints. As the saying goes in New Orleans, the Saints really came marching in. In the midget division it was a real battle between two great teams, the CATS and the Trojans. The CATS put together a great routine that encompassed jumps, chants and a little dance. They were really good and performed well in their routine. The judges were pleased with their routine.  The Trojans performed and really set a new standard for Del-Valley Cheer. The women of Troy put together great jumps, dances and pyramids were breath taking. In the end the Trojans were the champs in the midget division followed by the CATS. 

THANK YOU TO ALL THE COACHES, PARENTS AND ESPECIALLY THE PARTICIPANTS FOR MAKING THIS FIRST CHEER COMPETITON A GREAT SUCCESS.

In the fashion that has been their trademark all year, the Dynasty Dragons jr. peewee and the Chester Township Cougars fought tooth and nail in this championship game. On a rainy muddy day their wasn't too much outside running one could do but the Dragons were able to score a touchdown at the begining of the fourth quarter when the mandatory play rule took effect and the Cougars were trying to get their players into the game.  With the Cougars having the football they fumbled on their own 2 yard line and the Dragons picked it up and took it into the endzone for a touchdown. The extra point was good. Later in the quarter the Cougars drove the ball down field and on a sweep left they were able to got into the endzone from 40 yards out to make the score 6-7.  A penalty on the extra point try cause the Cougars to miss their extra point and the game ended with the Dragons winning the championship 7-6. Now They will meet the Enon Eagles on Wednesday November 3, 2009 at Bill Gambriel Field home of the Frankford Chargers. The game will start promtly at 6:30 PM.
