Six local youth, who were winners in Pittsfield’s local NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition, took part in the Sectional competition hosted by the city of Westfield on Monday.
These youngsters earned honors in their respective age groups:
* In the girl section, Madysen Pelkey of Washington finished first in the Age 6-7 category and Kaitlyn Olds of Hinsdale finished second in the Age 12-13 category.
* In the boys section, Brady Hebert of Pittsfield finished first in the Age 6-7 category; Jaden Keefner of Pittsfield finished first in the Age 10-11 category; Tanner Hill Dalton of Dalton finished first in the Age 12-13 category; and Patrick Butler of Peru finished first in the Age 14-15 category.
At this time, Madysen Pelkey and Patrick Butler have received notification that they have qualified to compete at the New England Patriots Team Championship at Gillette Stadium on Oct. 26. The others who placed first are still waiting to hear if they have also qualified to move on.
“It is an exciting opportunity for these youngsters to compete in Gillette Stadium," Pittsfield Mayor Daniel Bianci said. "Patriots fan or not, we Pittsfield will be cheering for Madysen and Patrick on October 26."
