The Montezuma Titans will compete in the Young America Football League Super Bowl on Saturday at Bloomfield High School.<\/p>\n
The group of local sixth-graders won the Super Bowl last year and hopes to get a repeat title. They play the Bloomfield Lions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Titans are a great group and have been playing together since the third grade,\u201d said parent Colette Wyatt.<\/p>\n
The Titans had a regular season record of 7-1, and went on to beat Kirtland and Durango in the playoffs to make it to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
They are known for their tough defense, and often prevent the other team from scoring, Wyatt said. They also have a strong running game. The team is made up of 27 boys and one girl.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are super-excited, and there is a good local crowd going to the game to watch them defend their title,\u201d Wyatt said.<\/p>\n
The game starts at 4 p.m. at Bloomfield High School, 520 N. First St., Bloomfield, New Mexico.<\/p>\n
The Titans are coached by head coach Jarrod Wyatt and assistant coaches Keve Goodall and Jason Wayman.<\/p>\n
