In its 15th season, Fauquier Youth Football boasts an all-time high 844 participants on the 26 teams and their cheerleading squads. The league started with just six teams in 1985. This is the best year we've had. The games on Saturdays represent the fruit of the hard work of FYF board members, coaches and players. The league holds a meeting on every second Tuesday of the month to go over challenges and improvements.
Coaches devote hours into preparation and teams practice two or three nights a week.
And it makes us tough. Back on the gridiron, the Sharks and Raiders continue their battle. After getting the ball first, the Sharks had a turnover. The Raiders move the ball down field, but get stopped for a loss on third down. After a huddle with his team, Kerns returns to the sideline.
