Local youth takes part in flag football tournament<br />
SUBMITTED BY NORTHSHORE<br />
TREVIANS YOUTH FOOTBALL<br />
Hundreds of students,<br />
parents and family members<br />
gathered for an enjoyable<br />
day of youth football<br />
as the St. Francis Xavier<br />
and Crow Island Elementary<br />
Schools walked away<br />
as champions of the first<br />
annual Northshore Trevians<br />
Youth Flag Football<br />
Tournament, held on June<br />
3 at the Skokie Playfields<br />
in Winnetka.<br />
Ten schools and more<br />
than 100 students participated<br />
across two grade<br />
divisions during the oneday<br />
tournament, which<br />
provided local elementary<br />
schools the opportunity<br />
to compete against each<br />
other to claim the title of<br />
best flag football team on<br />
the North Shore.<br />
The second-grade division<br />
was hotly contested<br />
with three schools — St.<br />
Francis, Wilmette’s McKenzie<br />
Elementary and<br />
Glenview’s Avoca Elementary<br />
— all finishing<br />
round-robin play with an<br />
identical 2-1 record. St.<br />
Francis won the tiebreaker<br />
against the other two<br />
schools by giving up the<br />
fewest average points allowed.<br />
In the third-grade division,<br />
Crow Island (3-<br />
0) defeated Northfield’s<br />
Middlefork Primary<br />
School (2-1) 16-6 to win<br />
the championship game<br />
and take home the winner’s<br />
trophy.<br />
The flag tournament<br />
was organized by the<br />
Northshore Trevians<br />
Youth Football Organization,<br />
which provides<br />
a competitive fall tackle<br />
football program for players<br />
from second through<br />
eighth grade, and a new<br />
fall flag program that will<br />
serve participants in kindergarten<br />
through sixth<br />

“This tournament gives<br />
our community the opportunity<br />
to get together<br />
and enjoy watching our<br />
kids play a sport that they<br />
really love,” said Stacy<br />
Fitzgerald, president of<br />
Northshore Trevians. “We<br />
were delighted to welcome<br />
hundreds of players<br />
and parents to the event<br />
today. The games were<br />
competitive, and the kids<br />
had a great time. We hope<br />
to see many of these players<br />
participating in our<br />
fall programs, and we are<br />
already looking forward<br />
to hosting this tournament<br />
again next year.”<br />
