Colts Pee Wees Finish as Super Bowl Runner-Up

Colts Pee Wees Finish as Super Bowl Runner-Up

Our Pee Wee Colts made it to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, but unfortunately, walked away with runner up trophies.

Coach Chuck’s squad battled hard all season and definitely continued to improve with time as evidenced by their 25-0 trouncing of the top-seed Giants to gain their birth in the TBYFL Super Bowl.

Their effort did not go unnoticed by the parents and the players were cheered and celebrated as they left the field yesterday. “That’s OK,” said Coach Chuck. “We’ll win it next year.”

Colts Cheerleaders Impress Everyone at TBYFL Cheeroffs

Colts Cheerleaders Impress Everyone at TBYFL Cheeroffs

The Westchase Colts cheerleaders returned to the top of the TBYFL world last night as they walked away from the 2011 Cheeroffs with 4 first place tropies, 1 second place trophy, and a division grand champion trophy.

Our Mighty Mites started the long day off with a bang and nailed their routine to the cheers of the packed stands and earned first place for their efforts. Pee Wees performed another perfect routine to finish in first place in their conference, along with the Super Midgets and Varsity. The Midgets looked amazing and worked their way to a second place finish.

The highlight of the night was watching our Super Midget squad being announced as the division grand champion as the screams and yells from every Colt parent, cheerleader, and coach echoed throughout Sickles High School.

Congratulations to all of the Colts cheerleaders and coaches as they once again proved that the Colts are the best organization in the Tampa Bay Youth Football League!

10th Anniversary Homecoming a Big Success

10th Anniversary Homecoming a Big Success

It seemed every parent was eager to see and photograph their kids posing in front of the Colts horseshoe at halftime yesterday. The excitement was huge and the kids did not disappoint.

After a long day of battling the Brandon Ravens at Skyway Park, it was time for everyone to get their groove on at Ruth Eckerd Hall. DJ Woody & Luke Entertainment kept the floor busy and Outback Steakhouse kept everyone full. The light rain didn’t dampen the mood at all as the raffle baskets were once again the big hit of the night.

The Colts once again thank Luke Entertainment and Outback Steakhouse for making the 10th Anniversary Westchase Colts homecoming one to remember.

Pictures from the kids at halftime are available on James Broome Photography’s website.
