With the help of some strong assistant coaches, Coach Eckels led the Granville Navy team to an undefeated season in The Licking County Youth Football League. After a 6-0 regular season, including five straight shut-outs, Granville Navy beat two Licking Heights teams in the playoffs before beating Watkins 20-19 in the Championship Game at Newarks’s White Field. Granville’s last championship was 2004, in the second year of the League. Navy was one of three Granville 5th-6th grade teams in the League.
