Washington Township Falcons Win 'Super Bowl'

The Washington Township Falcons senior team, made up of seventh- and eighth-graders, won their league championship in River Vale Saturday.

The 35-member football team beat Lodi 21-14 to grab the top spot in their league.

This group, who finished their season with an 8-1-1 record, also won their league championship in 2010. They are the first team in town history to win the "Super Bowl" twice.

Coach Eamonn Twomey said he was proud of the team.

"It was a great season," Twomey said. "We challenged the kids from the beginning of the year on and they responded."
