The Elgin Youth Football and Cheer Junior Football team won the Central Texas Youth Football League Championship game Saturday, Nov. 18, as this Wildcats team ended the 2023 season with an undefeated record of 10-0.
Some notable statistics included 322 total points scored and only 33 points scored against. The trademark of this team was their scrappy defense, speed and the “DAWG” mentality. The future is extremely bright for Elgin Football.
This team is made up of fourth and fifth-grade students from the Elgin community. Coaches include Gary Jefferson Sr., Barry Harvey Jr., Jacquemon Wildy, Brandon Kerlin and Justin Waters.
EYFC also announced the kids will compete in a new league during the 2024 season.
“After lots of consideration, we have decided to move in a new direction next fall. It’s official, we’re moving to Tri-County Youth Football and Cheer League,” EYFC Wildcats stated on Facebook. “We are so excited to go back to our roots and compete with some of the best the country has to offer. Thank you parents and community members for all your support this season and we hope to see you participate with us for years to come. Elgin Football and Cheer is definitely on the rise.”
