The 12-and-under “Ida Lee Fast and Furious,” coached by Eric Johnson and Dave Sorrell, had an outstanding tournament, going undefeated and allowing zero points in pool play, earning them the #2 seed out of 36 teams. Ultimately, they fell just short in the semifinals in a hard fought game. The 10-and-under “Ida Lee Gamer’z,” coached by Brian Dean and Mike Scarnato, also had very successful pool play. The Gamer’z finished pool play undefeated and only gave up 6 points, earning them the #3 seed out of 28 teams. Despite a valiant effort, they lost in the second round of playoffs against a tough Boston team. Both teams were comprised of players from the Leesburg NFL Flag Football League and are looking forward to continuing their growth through future seasons at Ida Lee Park. This coming spring season, the Leesburg Parks & Recreation Department will offer a “House League” for ages 6-14 and an “Elite League” with four divisions for 10-and-under, 12-and-under, 14-and- under and 18-and-under.
