N.F.L. Punt, Pass & Kick Info for Southern Ohio

[tap in bogey]

For those interested in entering this year's N.F.L. Pepsi PPK contest, you might want to read the following info. Winners of this contest will advance to an October Sectional competition with a chance of competing at a Cincinnati Bengals game in November. It is a great opportunity for the youth of our area. I will also be posting this on a couple of other forums to make sure the word gets out. Note that you athletes may only enter ONE Local PPK competition.
