UNREAL HISTORY OF THE MCADOO FOOTBALL LEAGUE
By: Adam Yelito

The McAdoo Football League began on a cold day back in 1988 with a Nerf Turbo Football and a dream. The dream was to create the most hardcore and extreme football action ever seen.

The hardcore action all began at the St. Patrick's Field, which hosted the first MFL game in front of a small crowd. When the action got too extreme for the St. Patrick's Field, the need for a new field was required and the action moved to Fr. Martin's Field, where the first Thanksgiving Day Game was played in front of a standing room only audience. But as MFL grew, the action could not be contained at the Fr. Martin's Field and the need for a new home with more seating was needed. So again MFL packed its bags and moved to its new home at McAdoo Veteran's Memorial Field, which is more commonly known as The MFL Field. The MFL Field hosts weekly contests between two teams in front of capacity crowds. Unfortunately, MFL shares this field with other organizations and the weekly games sometimes are moved to the Alternative Field, which is only down the road from the MFL Arena. And even though the games are at the Alternative Field the games defeat the competition as the fans back the Alternative Field to see what has become the most extreme football action in Northeast Pennsylvania.

The extreme football action known as MFL was started by some players, who are 4 Life, and some players, who have retired. The players, who have been retired for a long time now are Jason Bonko, Jeff Avilion, and Brian Richards. The reasons for retiring are many, like jobs, alcohol, and the action got just too hardcore, in any sense the contributions are few but the help in forming the MFL are not mention less. Now the players who are 4 life, contributed in countless ways and are the key for the formation of the MFL and developing it to everything MFL has become and stands for. Some of these players are Nick Perhonitch, Chris Perhonitch, Mike  Bielen, and Adam Yelito. As MFL grew so did the stable of players who have all brought their own contributions and style to MFL. And with the list of players constantly growing and now including players outside of the McAdoo boundaries, who are known as the "Outsiders", it seems MFL will continue to grow and gain strength well into the next millennium.
