The Best 8u Team in The Country is SCARY! (GEA)

Strictly Football gives GEA's tournament weekend the full highlight treatment: a smoke-filled entrance, Halloween masks and an end zone celebration with a prop skeleton.

The channel introduces the Atlanta squad as the country's top-ranked eight-and-under football team. That billing supplies the premise of "The Best 8u Team in The Country is SCARY! (GEA)", but the Short also has plenty of actual football to show between the theatrics.

Khaza King makes a tackle, Nolan McGahee gets the running-back spotlight, and Leveon Akins takes a run all the way for a touchdown. Then comes the skeleton, with players stomping on the prop during their celebration. GEA finishes the featured weekend unbeaten.

The upload had already drawn more than a quarter-million views in seven hours, several times Strictly Football's usual full-day Shorts audience. It is a younger age group than the college prospects and five-star freshmen featured in the channel's other recent uploads, complete with an entrance that gives the title's "SCARY" a literal Halloween connection.

What viewers say

When I played you football if we celebrated we would have to go to the bench mainly a decision from our coaches but it was also a penalty
