BERLIN — The Androscoggin Valley Gladiators Football Team copped the 2019 Independent League Football Championship this past Saturday, with an 18-0 shutout of the Aroostook Huskies, before a decent but cold crowd.
At Memorial Field in Berlin, the weather and field conditions were “normal” for a mid-November game, with bright sunshine (for the first half), shade (thanks to Mount Forrest) in the second half, a cool, steady breeze and a semi-frozen tundra of a field. The local recreation department had done an outstanding job in clearing the field of the snow that had fallen earlier in the month. Hopefully, my notes written in freezing cold temperatures, with gloves on and a partial brain freeze will end up being correct as I report on the game.
