North Atlanta 2nd Grade Bears Win North Metro Championship

The greatest accomplishments are often achieved through struggle. The North Atlanta Football League (NAFL) Bears started the season with 18 boys who had never played tackle football before. For 4 months, the players and coaches came together as a team – never quitting on the field or on each other. Heading into the playoffs with a 0 – 8 record in the regular season, the NAFL Bears brought home the trophy after knocking off the top 2 ranked teams and beating the Starrs Mill White Panthers on November 14th, with a score of 26 – 19.

Coach Campbell and the rest of his coaches couldn’t have been prouder: the players worked hard to improve and didn’t let the disappointment of their losses stand in the way of their goals. Coach Campbell shared the team’s motto: “Yesterday doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is right now and we must do our best.” The Bears showed a lot of heart and tremendous character all season – and their dedication and perseverance are to be admired just as much as that championship trophy. Congratulations, NAFL 2nd Grade Bears!
