Inglewood Blackhawks Now Back-to-Back National Champs
Our hometown, Minor League football team has done it again!
In December, the Inglewood Blackhawks defeated the unbeaten California Raiders with a 44-24 score in the 2012 National Football Events/Western Football News National Championship Game. This game gave the Blackhawks their 39th straight victory.
It also made the Inglewood Blackhawks back-to-back National Champs.
In 2011, the Blackhawks defeated the New York Predators (34-31) in Deland, Florida, for the National Championship.
The Blackhawks finished this season with a 17-0 record. Our team has not lost a game since October 2010, and their record stands at an amazing 48-1. In addition to being undefeated this season, the Blackhawks broke the national scoring record (903 points).
Not content to rest on their laurels, on 16 February, 12 new players were signed.
Among them, are proven champs Marques Kelley, a defensive standout, and All American Mark Anderson. These two have been national champions before, when they played for the Foothill Firehawks.
Adding to the luster is Tony Reid. Early February brought word that Tony was selected by the writers and voters of the LCFL as 2012 Owner and Coach of the Year. This is the first time in league history that an owner has won both awards in the same year. This achievement marks the sixth time that Reid has been named Owner of the Year.
More good news came to Inglewood in February when Tony Reid accepted the title of Head Coach at Inglewood High School. He is sure to work his magic with the Inglewood Sentinels on the field in coming seasons.
The Blackhawks go into the 2013 season being 10-time Conference Champs, 5-time League Champs, and 3-time National Champions. To celebrate and support the Blackhawks, get a “Three- Peat” Championship t-shirt for $10 by calling the team office at .
