Tri-Village
wins Jet Tournament; Two teams set two tournament
records
PITSBURG - In 50 years of the Jet Holiday Tournament, a record was
broken Saturday in the championship game between Franklin Monroe and
Tri-Village. The record was for the least amount of points scored in a
game. With the two high-powered offenses unable to generate point
production, 70 points scored would result in a 41-29 Tri-Village
victory, breaking a three year championship run by the Jets. “It wasn’t
pretty but I’ll take it,” said Patriots coach... read
