Millburn WINS on Senior Night

Friday night's game was the quintessimal definition of "Defensive Battle."

The East Side Red Raiders defensive line was impressive, but our defense was even more so.  Nice to get a shut out and nice to see Robert DeCastro back in scoring position.

For anyone interested, below is the text of the Senior Night Celebration-

MILLBURN SENIOR NIGHT

Welcome ladies & gentlemen.  Tonight the Millburn High School Football community and the Millburn 5th quarter club take great pleasure in honoring those members of the football team who are completing their final year in the Millburn Football Program.

These 12 young men and one young lady have been part of our program since the 4th grade.  They have had the honor of wearing Millburn Blue & White and they have shown themselves worthy of all honors we could bestow upon them, both on and off the fields.

It is with great pride and also some sadness that we take tonight to give thanks to these students and their families and to bid them thanks as well as our best wishes in all their future endeavors.  We know you will always serve Millburn proud as you have always made us proud as we watched you on the fields of football.

As befitting the gentlemen we know these young men to be, I am sure they will agree to honor ladies first:
