IMAGE GALLERY: Amherst Patriots Defeated in Title Game

The final score was 25-6 at Saturday's New England Championship game in Worcester, Mass.

The Amherst Patriot Pee Wee's came in with an 11-game winning streak, but were overcome by the Mount Hope Cowboys from Providence, R.I.

The young players made it to the New England Championship game, which would have qualified them for the 55th Pop Warner National Super Bowl tournament in Florida, according to New Hampshire Football Report. The last time a New Hampshire team competed in the Pop Warner National Championship Tournament was in 1997 with Plymouth.

The Patriot's had no points for most of the game, but managed to pull in a scoring drive in the fourth quarter.
