Cape Vikings Pop Warner sees postseason in 2021

The Cape Vikings 8U and 10U football teams both found themselves playing in the postseason this year.

The 8U head coach, Barry Barlow of Lewes, alongside a fantastic group of assistant coaches, led the team to a perfect 7-0 season. The 8U athletes held their opponents to an average of six points a game while scoring an average of 33 points each game. The team was awarded a bid to compete in the Eastern Regional Championship, where its season came to an end.

The coaches were impressed this season, as so many of the athletes were playing their first year of football. The camaraderie was evident throughout the season, and many are already talking about their next season.

Coach Keith Dickinson and his group of assistant coaches took their 10U team to the Henlopen Conference Championship at Lake Forest High School Nov. 12. The team lost to Snow Hill, which was the team’s only previous loss all season. Dickinson also commented on the number of new players and how great it was to be back on the field again after a season off due to the pandemic.

All the Cape Vikings Pop Warner families will be celebrating the season with a banquet in February 2022, and registration for football and cheer for the 2022 season will begin in April. Email capevikingspw@gmail.com with any questions about the upcoming season.
