Eight teenagers on a Philadelphia youth football team were arrested and charged with felonies after they allegedly stole thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods in Florida — only hours before their championship game.

The players on the United Thoroughbreds team, aged 14 to 15, had traveled to Polk County from Pennsylvania, where they stole items worth $2,296.07 from the store Saturday morning, according to police.

In a press conference, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the eight juveniles Ubered to the store, where they allegedly stuffed 47 items into bags and their pants before leaving the store.

Due to being detained, they were unable to play in their championship game later that day, where they lost to the Cocoa Tigers, 26-6, per police.
