Bandits Week 8 Schedule, 4th Grade Day, Trick or Treat, and a 7th Grade Triplehader

OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - Oct. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- The Wisconsin All-American Youth Football League has finalized and published the AAYFL Week 8 schedule for games played on October 31, 2015.   The final two weeks of the season pose scheduling challenges for the league including site conflicts with the WIAA High School Football playoffs, the AAYFL 8^th grade playoffs, and ensuring that repeat games between two teams in the same season are avoided.

TRICK OR TREAT

The final week of the season will be another busy one for the Bandits program.   For the second consecutive season the Bandits are inviting all children up to 12 years old to come in their Halloween costume and to come on the field at halftime of each game (1 trip per day please) to receive a Trick or Treat gift from the Bandits!
