Brick, NJ – Mayor Stephen C. Acropolis and the Township Council will honor three (3) Brick Pop Warner Dragons teams that competed at the National Competition in Walt Disney World this past December.  The Dragons Pee Wee Cheer team captured the National Championship while the Junior Midget Cheer Team took second place and the Junior Midget Dance Team placed third.

“We are so proud of these teams,” said Mayor Acropolis.  “They went down to Florida and represented our entire community and did so in tremendous fashion.”

Pop Warner is the largest youth football program in the world and is the only youth sports organization that has an academic requirement.  “In addition to being champions on the field, these athletes are champions in the classroom,” said Mayor Acropolis.  “The emphasis on educations is one of the best aspects of the Pop Warner program.”

Mayor Acropolis honored each team by proclaiming a day for each team and presented each team member with a certificate of commendation.

The Township Council issued resolutions congratulating the teams.

Mayor Acropolis also has words of congratulations for the entire organization.  “These young people were able to succeed because of the dedication and support of so many people including coaches, volunteers and parents.  I would like to congratulate all of those people for their efforts.”
