On Friday, Oct. 10 many Andover Junior Football League (A.J.F.L.) players and eighth grade league cheerleaders and football players were invited to the Andover High School’s varsity football game for A.J.F.L Night. Once every A.J.F.L. season the high school showcases all the hard work the kids in the A.J.F.L. put in every week and invites them in for no charge.
The game featured the Andover Warriors verses Billerica Warriors.
Members of the A.J.F.L. include students in the fourth through seventh grades. The 8th grade league is made up of all eighth grade students from all of the Andover middle schools. In the A.J.F.L. there are six teams: the Cowboys, Vikings, Chiefs, Ravens, Panthers, and the Stealers. All the teams were called one-by-one onto the field at half time. The teams were overjoyed when they were called out to the field.
“A.J.F.L. Night was a blast.” said Katherine Barenboim, a former cheerleader. “The (football) team showed great effort,” added sixth grader Alana Miller.
Some of the parents had different feelings about the long game. “I'm loving the game, but its very cold,” said Dylan Archambalt, the parent of an A.J.F.L. football player.
In the end the Andover Warriors won the game 41-17. It was a great victory by Andover and fans are hoping for many more wins this season in all of the leagues.
