At Woodbridge High School on September 6th, at John F. Kennedy High School there was a whiteout game held for football.
As the end of the season approaches WHS celebrates one of the most anticipated games of the season. The game ended with a 56-0 score. Declaring a big win for Woodbridge.
Mr. LaSala, coach of The Barrons football team states the main goal was to “go out there and win. We knew that was a game we were supposed to win, so we didn’t want to have any letdowns. And for the most part, we were able to handle our business.”
There were no regrets from the team or LaSala. With the final score being 56-0, senior football player Jack Brenner at WHS states that he believes that everyone contributed to the game, and the win as a whole. “Not only this week but every week whether it be during games or in practice just going hard and keeping that energy going into Fridays is the reason we have been able to do this as of late.”
Throughout the halftime show, JFK introduced their mystery Mustang mascot, Joe Lepinski. Best known as “Jersey Joe” he is a former alumnus, performing a dance as the Mustang. He performs TikTok dance videos with around 1.7 million followers.
