The Class of 2013 pulled off a MAJOR UPSET by taking the 2011 Super Bowl of Reading trophy!

6th grade – 241 yards
8th grade – 197 yards
7th grade – 46 yards

The 6th grade total was just 2 yards short of all 7th and 8th grade yards combined. Way to go, 6th graders!

Congratulations to all MVPs who moved their teams down the field, and a hat tip to 8th grade for coming close to 2 touchdowns.
