Stockton Trojans are back!

Owner Marty Santini and his Stockton Trojans are back after a year off to take on a new league. After spending their first three seasons of existance with the now defunct NCAFF (Northern California Amateur Football Federation) the team will now compete in the NCFL(Northern California Football League).

As members of the NCAFF, the Trojans went on to claim three division championships and a trip to the NCAFF Championship game. All told, the Trojans accumulated a 21-2-1 record including two undefeated seasons.

Due to health problems, Coach Santini was forced to put the team on hold for the 2009 season, but thanks in large part to the urging of his players and his overwhelming love of the game, Santini once again decided to put a team back out on the field.

Both Coaches and players look forward to competing in the NCFL where they will play in the American Conference alongside teams like the Eastbay Outlaws, the Bay Valley Xpress and theNorthbay Rattlers who are nationally ranked #1 by the MLFN (Minor League Football News).

Here is a sneak peak at this year's Stockton Trojans filmed during their first team practice at Grupe Park:

Regular season games for the NCFL begin in March. For more information on the Stockton Trojans or the NCFL visit the links in this post. All Trojan home games will be carried live and on demand on the Internet.
