Falcons Pee Wee Cheer team place 4th in the Nation
The Falcons Pee Wee Cheer team completed their amazing run this year by placing 4th in the nation at the Pop Warner National Cheer Championship in Orlando, FL. Coach Anthony Hubert had the team really sharp for this event and only 2 points separated them from taking a 1st place finish. The team started off the year by winning taking 1st place at the Lake Station, IN tournament and went on to win 1st place at the Mid America Cheer championship.
FALCONS HISTORY
The Southfield Lathrup Falcons organization was established in 1955, and became a member of the Jack E. Lowther Little Football League. The League was established through an endowment contributed by the widow of Jack E. Lowther who wanted to continue the work of Mr. Lowther who perished in a motor vehicle accident.
The 1980’s and 90’s witnessed the development of the Falcons as a “powerhouse” within the league emerging as “champions” year after year!
In 1994, the Falcons joined the Suburban Youth Football Conference. The Falcons have been the recipients of the Suburban Youth Football President’s Award for ten consecutive years and has won it more times than any other team.
In 2005 the Falcons will be joining the Southeast Michigan Pop Warner Football League. By representing a national organization the Falcons hope to broaden it’s influence as it will now compete against teams on a Regional and National level.
The Falcons of 2011 will continue to be strong as an organization and our youth continue to demonstrate athletic and academic excellence in high schools and colleges across the state and country. Falcon’s football players and cheerleaders standards are high, goals remain focused, and education is equally emphasized. This combination as reflected by our high achievements creates a successful organization.
