By Anonymous The Empire Football League is proud to announce the Glens Falls Greenjackets as the 2003 EFL Champions.
The Glens Falls Greenjackets wiped out 26 years of frustration Saturday, October 18th by defeating Watertown 30-6 to win the Empire Football League championship. More than 3,000 fans came to Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds on Saturday hoping to see something that had not happened in Watertown in 23 years. What they saw was the Red and Black throw everything it had against the Glens Falls Greenjackets without much success. Quarterback Kevin Siska threw for 126 yards and seven ball carriers collected 153 yards as the Jackets won their first EFL title since 1976.
The win highlighted a remarkable season in which the Greenjackets cleared a number of hurdles. To get to the championship game, the Jackets had to beat Orange County, which had beaten them last year in the title game. And to win the league crown, they had to win at Alex Duffy Fairgrounds in Watertown, where they hadn't won since 1986.
The EFL is also proud to announce their All Star Selections for 2003 click http://www.eteamz.com/empirefootballleague/files/2003AllStarSelections.doc
