Philadelphia's Northwest Raiders once again are riding high.On Saturday, they won the Pop Warner National Super Bowl Championship in the "Midget" division at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.
It was the second consecutive Super Bowl win for the 11 to 15 year olds, who trounced Baltimore's Old Town Gators, 34-19.
The winning of back-to-back championships isn't unprecedented, but "it's a pretty rare feat," said Josh Pruce, national director of media relations for Pop Warner Football.
He said the game would be televised again on ESPN 2 on Dec. 19 from 9 to 11 a.m.
Pruce said the team was on its way back home and would arrive by bus sometime Sunday afternoon.
