Football season is right around the corner and the Wakeman
Boys & Girls Club in Bridgeport is searching for some more players to join
the Cowboys.
The youth football team is entering its second season. Coach
J.B. Brown says he’s excited to get back at it.
"Football is a gateway to open up anything -- not just
athletics," he told News 12. "Everything we do is more about
maturation than just wins. It’s bigger than just football, it's about what are
you going to do after football.”
Team members also get tutoring and a warm meal after every
practice.
The team is also looking for more cheerleaders.
