SVAYFC kicked off  its annual league scrimmages Saturday August, 26th 2017.   The turn out and the atmosphere was in prime football mode as the four SV Mighty Mite teams got their first look at what the others bring to the table this 2017 football season.   The SV Cardinals showed much promise and stellar defense in all three games.  What these Cardinals lack in size, they clearly make up for it with intensity, focus and lots of speed.   In the first game and the first live series, the Cardinals defense jumped on the board quickly as Jayden Thomas hit the QB and as forced a fumble as Luby Jones Jr. snagged it out of the air and ran it in from about 11 yards for a super quick 6.  The RED SEA defense pressured their opponents viciously throughout the day for 11 sacks and over 70+ yards in total losses.  The defense wasn't the only Cardinals weapon in effect Saturday morning as the Birds offense waqs on point as well with seven Cardinals getting on the ground game.  Amassing over 400 yards on the ground in the shortened scrimmages.  Coaches were excited to see the kids came ready for this season.  Now the Cardinals look to a week of hard practice to prepare for their first gridiron battle on Saturday, September, 2nd against the Cowboys of Willcox.
