PRIDE OF THE PREPS IN 2017-18 PAGE C2 The Knoxville Focus December 2, 2019 THE BEST OF THE KNOX METRO YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE EKAA has ‘good year,’ ties Falcons with three titles By Steve Williams

The East Knoxville Athletic Association, in its sixth year of having football, made an impressive showing in the Knox Metro Youth Football League this season. The Runners captured three championships to tie Knoxville Falcons - 9U Champions the Knoxville Falcons for most titles in the nine divi- sions. West won two and Catho- lic one. “It was a good year,” said Willie Anderson, EKAA com- missioner. “Coaches did a good job. That’s what it’s about – good coaches.” EKAA also had a good turnout of fans. “We try to support the kids, because kids play harder when their parents are there to support them,” said Anderson. As for runner-up finishes, the Falcons’ strong program had four, the Roadrunners two, Central one, Powell one and Center City Youth Sports Program (CCYSP) one. “It was a real good year for all the City commis- sions,” added Anderson. “This was our first year in the 6U flag and the 7-year- old division.” This is the sixth year EKAA has had football and about the 10th year overall of the organization, which also offers basketball and baseball.
