As the 2024 regular season comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on the hard work, dedication, and growth shown by all of our football teams this year. It has been an incredible season filled with memorable moments, team bonding, and individual development.
We are proud to announce that six of our teams have advanced to the Chicagoland Pop Warner playoffs! Congratulations to:
- 8U - Coach Kojzarek
- 9U Purple - Coach Ackerley
- 11U Black - Coach Bentley
- 11U Purple - Coach Navarro
- 12U Purple - Coach Majcher
- 13U - Coach McCarthy
Your commitment, teamwork, and effort have brought you to this exciting next step, and we look forward to watching you continue to compete at the highest level in the postseason.
While Pop Warner does not keep score at the 6U level, prioritizing development over competition, Coach Tiffany's boys have done amazing in both learning and growing in the game they have come to love. They will be playing one last Bowl Game this weekend to end their season.
At the same time, we want to recognize the dedication and growth of the following teams, who may not have qualified for the playoffs but showed tremendous heart and improvement throughout the season:
- 7U - Coach Morreno
- 9U Black - Coach Ramierez
- 10U - Coach Finn
- 12U Black - Coach Mueller
Each of you has contributed to the strength of our program, and your development as players and as teammates is something we are incredibly proud of. We can’t wait to see how you build on this experience as you continue your football journey.
Congratulations to our 13U team on an incredible final season with the Hampshire Jr. Whip-Purs! It has been a privilege to watch you grow and develop into outstanding athletes and teammates over the years. As you age out of our program and take the next step in your football journey at Hampshire High School in 2025, we wish you all the best of luck in this postseason and beyond. We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and can't wait to see what the future holds for you on the high school field and in life. We know you will continue to make all of us proud!
This season has been a success on many levels, thanks to our talented athletes, dedicated coaches, and supportive families. But as an organization, we know that there’s always room to grow. We are already looking ahead to 2025 with a focus on enhancing our program, building on our successes, and offering an even better experience for our players.
Thank you to everyone who made the 2024 Hampshire Jr. Football season a success. Let’s continue to push forward, support one another, and strive for greatness—both on and off the field!
Go Jr. Whips!
