Leesburg Youth Teams Compete in NFL Flag Football
Tournament at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore
Leesburg, VA (November 5, 2010) – Four Leesburg-based youth flag football teams competed
in the NFL Flag Football’s Baltimore Regional Tournament on Sunday, October 17, 2010, at the
Baltimore Ravens’ M&T Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Leesburg was represented by two teams in the 9-11 year old age group and two teams in the
12-14 year old age group. All of the Leesburg teams performed well at the tournament, but
one of the 9-11 teams, the Leesburg Raiders, had a tournament record of 4 wins and 1 loss,
losing only in the championship round.
“It was a remarkable experience for all of us,” said Raiders coach Scott Kallivokas. “We were
playing against travel teams with much more experience in tournament play. Our boys really
held their own. I can’t imagine how nervous I would have been as a boy playing in a NFL
stadium in front of several thousand people.”
Leesburg Raiders team members, pictured below, were Mark Cotton, Zach Garrett, Thomas
Irving, Tyler Judd, Nicholas Kallivokas, Mason Price, Jeremy Roach, Jalen Thomas, Ryan Thomas
and Hassan Turner. The Raiders were coached by Scott Kallivokas and Richard Thomas.
