One of the most successful youth football teams in the area in 2012 received rings Thursday to commemorate their historic season.
The Turkey Creek Trojans Junior Varsity team went a perfect 17-0 last fall, beating the Plant City Dolphins 34-8 in the Super Bowl before capping the season off with a 24-21 win over the Nuccio Jaguars in the Gameday of Champions, held annually at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This was the fourth time the Trojans JV have played at Raymond James and the third consecutive year, but it was their first win in the Gameday of Champions.
Members of the team, coaches and parents gathered at the Trojans home field off Connell Road in Plant City Thursday for the ring presentation. The top of the rings say “Superbowl Champions” and the sides read “One Team One Goal 17-0” and “Gameday of Champions 2012.”
