Gloucester City Mustangs Football Opening Day a Great Success

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.
