I’m very excited to deliver this week’s interview because I don’t know if many of you listening even were aware of the football legend we have living right in our backyard in Morris County. John Giannantonio, or better known as Johnny G, from who spent his playing days at the now closed Netcong HS, holds several major national high school football records - including yards rushed in a season, yards rushed in a game and average yards rushed per game for the season. In 1950, Johnny G rushed for an amazing 4,756 yards and 41 touchdowns. Oh yeah, and that is only in an 8-game schedule. In case you are trying to do the math, that’s 594.
