Lamorinda Boys Play Tackle Football
Submitted by Tom Godsey
The 2011 Diablo Valley Youth Football season kicked off in Livermore, Saturday, September 10 with the Walnut Creek Marauders battling the Livermore Vikings. Since Lamorinda does not have a tackle football league, some Lamorinda boys have joined the Marauders.
The Junior PeeWees (8-to-10 year olds), coached by Lafayette's own Art Thoms, prevailed in a close game, 26-19.
The PeeWees (9-to-12 year olds) held the lead for much of the game but ran out of gas as the Vikings pulled away 19-7. Moraga's Jackson Reneau, a Joaquin Moraga sixth grader, scampered for the lone touchdown for the Marauder PeeWees behind the blocking of Bryce Henderson, also a Joaquin Moraga sixth grader, and Parker Godsey, a Stanley Middle School sixth grader.
Their full schedule is available at wcyfmarauders.com.
