Congratulations to Black C - 2011 AYFCL CHAMPIONS!

2011-12-04T12:26:00.000-08:00

On October 30, PYFC's Black C team bested the Fairport Red Raiders to take home the American Youth Football and Cheerleading League B/C Conference Championship!

The boys played their signature style of no-nonsense, smart, hard nose football on that last Sunday in October. As it was on August 1, it was all business - from the moment they all stepped onto the bus at Harris Whalen Park, until the final whistle in Victor. The entire PYFC organization congratulates head coach John Webster, his staff and the entire Black C Football team for a great championship, and an outstanding season!
