“The Deptford Spartans had an amazing season,” Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said in a press release. “We are proud of their determination and teamwork.”

Added Freeholder Deputy Director Frank J. DiMarco: “Along with their undefeated status in the League Championship, the team also won the title of 2018 World Youth National Champions at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. These boys have done great things and will continue to grow and learn and we look forward to their bright future.”
