Everyone who participated in the Junior Mounts organization @®: year received a trophy and members of the B team were pre- sented with Super Bowl plaques. The Junior Mounts defeated the Kingston Township Raiders, 46-6, to win the Super Bowl title. The Delinda Atkins Award is presented in memory of Delinda Atkins who passed away in Janu- ary 1999 at the age of 30, leaving behind two daughters, Jessie and Nancy. Atkins was the cheer advisor for many of the Junior Mounts squads. She organized separate fundraisers for the girls to offset the cost of new uniforms. It has been said that, four out of five days, Delinda could be found feeding dinner to her chil- dren on a blanket on the Junior Mounts practice field because they had just returned from dance lessons or reading at the Back Mountain Memorial Li- brary. Whenever the Dallas Junior Football Association needed something, Atkins was there to help, regardless of the time com- mitment. The Casey Zalenski Award is named for the young man whose life was cut short when he was gunned down in November 2002. A graduate of the Junior Mounts A team, Zalenski was considered the “team clown” as he always loved to have fun. He would never back down from playing a joke on someone as he was always looking to set the pace for a good time. Zalenski continued his love for sports as a student at the Dal- las Middle School where he was also a member of the wrestling team. He would have graduated from Dallas High School in 2003. Erica Luzetski is the daughter of Sherry and Andy Luzetski of Dallas. She is an eighth grade student at the Dallas Middle School and has been cheering for the Dallas Junior Mounts for seven years.
