Two Philly Area Teams To Compete In Pop Warner Regional Championship

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Eagles are headed to the championship game! Seriously.

They're just a little bit smaller than the Philadelphia Eagles.

These two Philly area Pop Warner teams -- consisting of 10 to 12 year olds -- represent the best two squads from Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
