Congratulations to P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School for winning Asphalt Green’s fall 2014 Flag Football Community Sports Leagues! P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School faced off against Harlem Village Academy M.S. for the championship spot on December 13 at Asphalt Green’s Upper East Side field. More than 100 people including coaches, teachers, family and friends came to support and watch the two teams face off.

The game brought lots of excitement and plays right up to the last minute of the game! With less than two minutes left in the game, the Harlem Village Academy M.S. team had two chances to score and take the lead. However, P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School team’s defense was too much for them. P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School’s Khaliik Haynes forced two incomplete passes and secured his team’s victory. P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School was crowned champion after a well-played, evenly matched win over Harlem Village Academy M.S.

After the championship game, we held an awards ceremony and pizza party for the top four teams in the league. P.S. 007 Samuel Stern School received the league trophy with their team name on it. The team gets to keep the trophy for a year at their school. (Next year, it is passed on to the next season’s championship school.) Each player received a participation medal. Plus, every team in the league got to nominate one MVP, sportsmanship and student athlete award to one deserving athlete. This player received a trophy to recognize their positive efforts.
