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.
