Acheivements and Stats 2011
Italian High School Championship Winners Italian Federation of American Football (FIDAF) During the Italian High School Championships there were 21 participating teams. As a team we had a ‘Perfect Season.’ We won every game of the qualifying rounds, won every play off match and won the final. We played 10 games in all and averaged at 25.2 per game. I was the Captain of the Defense Team during that tournament. As a result of my leadership we were extremely strong defensively during the championship. We conceded the least touchdowns of any team in the championship. During the Championships I received the accolade of “Player with the best Sport Attitude” which was presented by the coaches.
