Liam Siegler is a seventh-grader who attends the Island Trees Middle School. Siegler is a top-notch student, who is also an amazing athlete and person. He has been named by the FBU (Football University) as one of the United States best seventh-eighth grade football players.
As such, he has been named to the All-American Games and he will participate in the 2012 National Football Tournament held at the San Antonio’s Alamodome. This will take place in early January.
The FBU has been organized to enable the nation’s top football athletes to compete against one another. This organization feels that this competition and opportunity helps prepare the nation’s top student-athletes for the rest of their lives both on and off the gridiron. The FBU feels that Siegler is one of these top student-athletes. This is the first time in the history of the Island Trees School district that we have had someone named to this prestigious event.
Siegler has been an important member of the Island Trees Youth Football team that was coached by his father, Mike Siegler. Coach Siegler was a key lineman who played for the Island Trees varsity football team in the late 80s.

He closed his eyes for a second and was transported back in time to 1981, and for a brief moment he remembered that once-in-a-lifetime feeling of being a member of the Generals Nassau County Championship baseball team. Suddenly, the crack of the bat jolted his eyes open and he watched his son successfully rip his third hit of the game.
