Spitfires Win Grid Title

​

After spotting the Red Raiders a 6-point lead, the Spitfires roared back to win, 25-6, and capture first place and the title. Red Raider speedster Bob Barrish raced 80 yards with the opening kickoff to give his team the early lead. Later in the first quarter Spitfire Mark Peters twisted his way over from seven yards out to knot the score. After a scoreless second quarter the Spitfires broke the game open when Mike DiLiberato took the second half kickoff and raced 70 yards down the sidelines behind a line of blockers. Later in the third period the Spitfires added another tally when Mark Peters tallied his second TD on the day on an 11-yard run. Dean Gentek scored the extra point. Justin Catanoso of the Spitfires closed out the scoring on a one-yard sneak as his team replaced the Red Raiders as Midget League champs.
