Milford Academy, New Berlin kids enjoy Punt, Pass and Kick
NEW BERLIN – The Punt, Pass and Kick competition sponsored by the Village and Milford Academy drew 32 participants Saturday and surpassed expectations, said Mayor Terry Potter.
“It’s been such a good turn out,” said Potter. “All of the kids that have shown up are having a great time.”
Potter explained there were three age groups: 8 and under, 9-11, and 12-15. Children in each age group had two chances to punt, pass and kick the football as far as they could.
In the 8 and under category, Ryan Baker of Norwich took first place with Marcus Proskine taking second and Bryant Switzer placing third.
Dante Dye of New Berlin took first place in the 9-11 age group with Scott Manwarren receiving second and Thomas Parrella third.
For children 12-15, Zan Stewart of Norwich placed first while Matt Parrella and Dante Mills received second and third respectively.
Following each of the competitions, Milford Academy team members put on a demonstration for the audience and signed autographs. Trophies were awarded to each of the winners.
Hot dogs and Capri Sun were also provided and empty Capri Sun containers were collected by members of the Donna Frech School of Dance. Potter explained that it was a fundraiser for the dance school which receives a small reimbursement for each container.
Overall, Potter stated that the competition went well and expressed a hope that the village and Milford Academy will continue to work together in the future.
“We want everyone to have a chance to get to know some of the players,” said Potter. “The students at Milford Academy often go on to play for the NFL.”
Potter posited; “who will be the next Shonn Greene?” referring to the New York Jets running back and Milford Academy graduate.
“It was really a great experience for all the guys,” said Bill Chaplick, director of operations and head coach at Milford Academy.
