Our league was started back in 1965. Over the years, thousands of Mt Pleasant Area boys and girls were given the opportunity to play football and cheerlead at a young age. They have used this experience to develop their skills for the next level of play with the Mt Pleasant Area Vikings. Some experienced the thrill of winning a WPIAL Championship at Three Rivers Stadium and others just experienced the joy of participating in the sport that they love. One thing has remained the same in that the Mt Pleasant Area Junior Football League has been the cornerstone for local boys and girls of our community to learn the fundamentals of team work, honesty, and good sportsmanship.
Over the past 51 years, the league has grown and overcome many obstacles. This past year was very unfortunate for the kids of our community to have to witness and have their seasons cut short. They work extremely hard week in and week out to develop their skills to perform for us when given the opportunity. We as a community need to support these young athletes and not let our tempers get in the way of what truly matters for these kids, and that is having fun. Ultimately, they were the ones that suffered the most through this and we need to see to it that this does not happen in the future.
Remember, we are all VIKINGS!
