2018 Elmwood Park Tigers Summer/7on7 plans

We will host our 2nd annual 7 on 7 at EP at the end of July

Did you know...that Elmwood Park made the 2017 UHSA state football playoff field for the first time since 2012. The last time before the Tigers made the state playoff field? 1991.

Keep an Eye on: Elmwood Park senior FB/DE Luciano Martino (5-foot-10, 235 pounds). Martino has been a standout two way starter for the Tigers and head coach Dylan Mack over the past few seasons. Look for Martino to draw increased recruiting looks and attention this fall. .

EDGYTM's Way Too Early Regular Season record prediction for the Elmwood Park Tigers? 5-4/4-5
