Minneapolis youth football team wins national championship
Minneapolis youth football team wins national championship
A youth football team in Minneapolis is celebrating a national championship win.
The Phelps Falcons are based out of Phelps Park, which is about a block away from George Floyd Square. Twenty players made up of fifth, sixth, and seventh graders, are fresh off a plane ride back from Las Vegas, where they were invited to compete in a national youth football tournament.
"We didn't have the tournament planned already, but then we got a last-minute donor, and then we went to Vegas," said Cordell Givance, a 7th grader on the team.
The Phelps Activities Council brought in donations totaling $10,000. The non-profit is dedicated to changing the lives of young people in south Minneapolis through organized sports and activities.
