Sean Coughlin carries for a HUGE, and much-needed, First Down! The GCAA Thunder 8 Maroon enjoyed an active game on Sunday, Oct 22nd against the surprisingly talented Franklin Square Warriors at Franklin Square. Despite a loss, the Thunder boys played well and had a great time, playing in real "football weather" conditions.

As always, a big "Thank You" to our well-deserving coaches: Larry Schmelzinger, Steve Schick, John Coppola, and Kevin Guarino. Their tireless efforts with our boys are very much appreciated!
