San Clemente Times

According to www.popwarner.com, 425,000 kids suited up to play Pop Warner Football across America in 2012. Of those 425,000 players, 35 seventh graders were selected as members of the first team All-American Scholars. San Clemente’s Riley Croft was one of those elite members selected to this year’s 2013 team.

In order to be selected to the All-American Scholars team Croft, 13, had to have a cumulative 96 percent GPA or higher. The Bernice Ayer Middle School student was recognized at the Pop Warner opening ceremonies at San Clemente High on August 22, where he received a special jersey and a medal for his achievement.

Croft, who will begin eighth grade next week, plays outside linebacker and left guard for the Midgets Black Team.
