John Jay Wins Big Over Eastchester
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti A great beginning to the 2025 season already, the John Jay offense did start pretty slow on Monday, April 7 at Contest Field. Two sputtering drives, the girls had the luxury thanks to the defense. “Playing aggressive, putting pressure on the quarterback, forcing errors, that’s what we’ve been doing,” said Head Coach Jimmy Clark.
