MURRIETA – The 9U Blitzhawks Pop Warner team from Murrieta made their way to play in the Wescon Pop Warner Super Bowl in Orlando, Florida last week. The Blitzhawks, who went undefeated with fourteen wins and zero losses through the season, up to the semifinals of the Super Bowl tournament, competed in the D1 National Championship bracket.
On Sunday, Dec. 3, the Blitzhawks won their first-round game 38-7 over the SoCo Warriors from Colorado, setting the stage for their semifinal game where they faced Richmond Heights, playing out of Ohio. That game took place Wednesday, Dec. 6, and ended in a 6-0 loss for our local hometown team.
In a post on Facebook the league had this to say, “Congratulations to our 9U Blitzhawks on the most incredible season! They came up a bit short in a hard-fought game. We are so very proud of all these boys and coaches! They became National Semi-Finalists after the most amazing undefeated season!”
Murrieta Valley Pop Warner had a few cheer teams compete last weekend at the JAMZ Holiday Showcase Cheerleading Competition in Anaheim. The Division 12 Lady Warhawks had a big win by not only placing first but receiving the giant bear for the most spirited award too.
In another post on Facebook the league had this to say, “Way to go girls, we are so proud of you!! Go Hawks!”
