5 Youth Football Players From Tolland Picked For Prestigious FBU Team

TOLLAND, CT — Five eighth-grade youth football players from Tolland were picked to represent Connecticut at the FBU regional championships. It's one of the top showcases for youth players.

Tryouts for the team included players from Connecticut, New York, Maine and Pennsylvania and Team Connecticut will be playing New Jersey on Saturday.

Tolland is being resented by Zackary Laws, Paxton Neyers, Brodin McKinstry, Colt Lumpris and Devin Hollenbach. They finished their youth football careers losing just five games in eight years, with head coach Luis Lumpris and coaches Todd Hollenbach and Lou Graham.

If the team wins against New Jersey, it will square off against either Massachusetts or Rhode Island. Two wins will send the team to Naples, FL.
