The 2026 North East Kingdom 7v7 Tournament, Strongman Competition, and O-Line Challenge were a tremendous success for everyone involved—players, coaches, parents, officials, volunteers, and spectators alike.
Our student-athletes had the opportunity to showcase the skill, strength, and commitment they developed throughout the summer. The level of competition was outstanding, and it was rewarding to see their offseason work on display.
A special thank you goes to our football parents, who operated a very professional and courteous concession stand while serving hundreds of attendees throughout the day. Their dedication and countless hours of volunteer service played a significant role in making the event possible while reflecting great credit on themselves and our program.
The combination of all these elements created a tremendous showcase for St. Johnsbury Academy, and all the students, faculty, staff, and community contribute to the North East Kingdom.
