The sixth, seventh and eighth grade physical education classes at St. Ignatius Loyola School have concluded their flag football unit. The excitement of the competition was only surpassed by the students' enthusiasm. All of the students learned the basic skills of football and competed in games during their physical education classes. The unit culminated with class playoffs and a "super" game. After the final whistle blew, a class champion was declared.

The sixth grade champ was the Eagles, including Captain Carlos Lizama, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mackenize Klein, David Lavan, Joseph Matthew, Heidy Taza, Wade Walker and Decin Younghans.

The seventh grade champ was also the Eagles, including Captain Max Spettman, Armelle Charles, Erin Costello, Amy Katan, Andrew Kennedy, Thomas Stackpole and Meghan Whittaker.

The 8-1 champ was the Colts, including Captain Sean Egan, Nicole Delle Donne, Jacqueline Di Chiara, Samantha Kilada and Lauren Russo and the 8-2 champ was the Bears, including Captain Michael Stippell, Mariah Adam, Devin Coyle, Duckette Gregoire, Shirley Salazar and Joung Min Yoo.

The winning teams in each grade were rewarded with a special dress down physical education day. Congratulations to these teams and kudos to all the students who gave 100 percent as they learned the rules and skills of the game of football.
