PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Lee Youth Football program turned in a pair of dominating performances at BCC on Sunday night to earn Berkshire County Youth Football League crowns in the Junior and Senior Divisions.

 

Lee’s Juniors blanked Adams-Cheshire, 12-0, in the opener on Gene Dellea Field.

 

In the nightcap, Lee downed Dalton, 18-0, in the Senior Division Super Bowl.

 

Fittingly, Lee’s final points of the season were scored by its defense when Tom Lucy intercepted a pass in the backfield and scored with Dalton backed up on its 5.

 

“We only gave up six points all season,” Seniors coach Pete Newton said. “That defense, they come to ball every day. Flying around, they don’t give up.

 

“It’s truly, truly a special group of kids.”

 

Lee got all the points its defense needed late in the second quarter.

 

A 40-yard pass play from David Kirchner to Mitch Keenan got the ball to the Dalton 15. JayDee Reber eventually went in from the 3 to make it a 6-0 game.

 

In the third quarter, an interception and 37-yard return by Seamus Cooney set up Reber’s second TD, this time from the 5.

 

Coming on the heels of Saturday’s appearance by Lee High in the state tournament, the twin wins on Sunday night made a strong statement about the community’s football program.

 

“The high school, give them credit,” Newton said. “They had a helluva season. Unfortunately they came up just short yesterday. But the juniors came out tonight, and we watched the juniors game. They won a shutout victory against Adams today. Hats off to them.

 

“Two Lee youth programs bringing trophies home is why we do it. It’s unbelievable.”
