The cheerleading squad led a pep rally for the West Haven Seahawks, who played in the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Florida on Friday.
WEST HAVEN,CT — (Pictured): Members of the West Haven Seahawks cheerleading squad lead a spirited pep rally Dec. 8 in the Bailey Middle School auditorium for the Ray Tellier Midget Football League’s West Haven Seahawks junior varsity team.
An enthusiastic assembly of students, teachers, faculty and staff, joined by Mayor Nancy R. Rossi, watched the Seahawks live on ESPN3 — via a giant projection screen on the rear of the stage — as they competed for the national title against the Westchase Colts of Tampa Bay, Fla., in the Pop Warner Division II Junior Varsity Championship at the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
The Seahawks, ages 11-13, lost 28-0. However, in addition to finishing No. 2 in the nation, the Seahawks are the New England Region Pop Warner Division II Junior Varsity champions and the champs of the Southern Connecticut Pop Warner Football Conference.
