Century Village East hosted its first Quarterback Throwing Contest on February 4, drawing 23 men and women for an afternoon of friendly competition and Super Bowl–week excitement.
Each participant was given 10 throws at a designated target, testing both accuracy and arm strength. After a spirited contest, Pat claimed first place, followed by Jose in second and Brian in third.
Organizers credited the event’s success to the many volunteers who helped coordinate and run the competition, including Jim, Joe, Norman, Sheila, Henry, Valentina, Iris, and Cindy, along with several other supporters.
With such a strong turnout and enthusiastic response, organizers announced that the Quarterback Throwing Contest will become an annual event, held each year during Super Bowl week.
Interest in expanding football activities at CVE was also evident. Residents were invited to express interest in forming a Flag Football League, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Henry Pascar is currently working out the details, with plans to launch the league next fall.
Participants and spectators alike enjoyed the lighthearted atmosphere, with organizers joking that football scouts were even in attendance searching for the next starting quarterback.
