Young Babylon Football Player Named Summer Camp MVP

12-year-old takes home MVP honors for his play this summer.

While attending Offense-Defense Football Camps this Summer in New York, New Jersey, New England and Long Island, Matthew Stetz, 12, of Babylon, received MVP honors, was named an Offense-Defense All-American at each of the Camps.

Stetz was also invited to participate in the 8th-annual Offense-Defense Bowl Week festivities taking place at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, FL.

Stetz, an Offensive Lineman for the Long Island Spartans, was selected for this honor from a group of young athletes numbering in the thousands across the country and played well representing Babylon, easily validating the Bowl Selection Committee's choice in tabbing Matt for the All-Star tilt.

The Offense-Defense Youth All-American Bowl is part of a week-long series of events including the televised, 8th-annual Offense-Defense All-American Bowl, an All-Star football game showcasing 88 of the top high school seniors in the country

The bowl has featured current NFL pros such as Cam Newton, Carlos Dunlap, and Dez Bryant among others before they were collegiate and later professional stars.
