Gloucester City Mustangs Youth Football Opening day (Saturday September 15) was a HUGE success and the weather was just perfect.

 
Mayor James played the bagpipes. The organization dedicated the field for 2007 to Gloucester Catholic High School Coach Dougherty for his past and current contributions.

 
Example: this year Coach Dougherty arranged for the Gloucester Catholic High School buses (a total of three) to take all 159 players to weigh- in at 6:00am.

 
The field looked great thanks to the City employees from the Public Works Department for their help.

 
There was a large crowd in attendance at last Saturday’s ceremonies and the crowds stayed to watch the games which lasted into the evening.

 
The Mustangs will be following suit with Gloucester City High School and have retired Marc Ryan’s # 19 jersey in his remembrance.

 The Mustangs play the Jersey Pines (Hammonton) at the Johnson Blvd field on Saturday. Family and friends of the players are urged to attend.

The Mustangs are members of the South Jersey Independent Youth Football Association.

Greg Schiano has been as fiercely protective of his personal life through the years as Rutgers\’ offensive line has been with Mike Teel. His family almost never gets touched.

So it was interesting to see his reaction after practice on Wednesday when the Knights\’ head coach was asked what he thought about pictures of his new house being posted on the internet. The house, under construction, is a Kenny Britt fade route from Rutgers Stadium. And there it was, shown from three different angles, on rivals\’ Rutgers football message board.
