The sixth, seventh and eighth grade physical education classes at St. Ignatius Loyola School recently concluded their flag football unit. All of the students learned the basic skills of football and competed in games during their physical education classes.
The unit culminated in class play-offs and a super game. After the final whistle blew, the following winners were declared:
Sixth grade: The Steelers, including Captain Justin Rodriguez, Curtis Allen, William Burdo, Jared Estrada, Catherine Kilada, Connor Klein, Regina Lacsa and Katelyn Tuzzol.
Seventh grade; The Giants, including Captain Caleb Sims, Jashaun Allen, Ariana Catania, John Matthew Coppola, Julio Escobar, Stephanie Joseph, Nicole Ki, Janine Meurer and Tamarra Segers.

8-2: The Giants, including Captain Larry Schembri, Michael Crayne, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kelly Kim, Joseph Oddo, Heidy Taza and Zachary Wimbiscus.
