LONGMEADOW – The Westfield Youth Football Senior Bombers are going big time.
For the first time in recent memory, Westfield is headed to regionals where a national championship berth is on the line.
This was made possible by Westfield’s thrilling 6-0 win over Longmeadow last week in the Suburban Amateur Football League Super Bowl at Berte Field.
Westfield quarterback Matthew Adamites connected with Mike Collins on a 30-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter for the game’s only score.
“We couldn’t get our run game going,” Westfield Senior Bombers coach Mike Slingerland said. “We caught them off guard with a nice pass. It was very close. It was a very good game. We just happened to outplay them that day.”
Westfield has been rewarded with a trip to regionals. Their journey begins Friday afternoon with a game against the Badgers at The Fields Sports Complex in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m.
“We got here on hard work, dedication, and heart,” coach Slingerland said.
