Knight Riders football team honored at City Hall


Coconut Grove's Knight Riders Pee Wee league football team received special commendations at City Hall last week to mark the team’s championships at the state and regional levels.


Above, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff congratulates one of the players as Mayor Tomas Regalado, looks on.

This fall, the Knight Riders PeeWee team won the Sean Taylor Classic Pop Warner Bowl for Division 2, making the team the 2010 Southeast Regional Champions. That win allowed the team to move up and compete in the 2010 Pop Warner Super Bowl national championship in Orlando this past December.

The hard work and perseverance of the players, their coaches and their parents is exemplary, as is the team's dedication to academic achievement.

“I’m proud of the achievements of the team and equally proud of the outpouring of community support for the boys in their effort to compete in the national championship,” said Commissioner Sarnoff.
