Wave Football Makes SportCenter

Wave Football Makes  SportCenter

Chris Whelan, Sports Editor

Recently, the Wave football team appeared on national television. In a decisive 22-21 victory for the Green Wave, Sam Johnson, a senior tight end, kept hopes high for the Delbarton faithful on one of the last drives of the game. As the Green Wave trailed with barely any time left, Johnson laid out for a one-handed grab over his shoulder, mirroring the poster-like catch of Odell Beckham Jr. last season for the New York Giants.

Despite Poly Prep’s tight defense, the Green wave converted on that same drive and emerged with an 8-2 record. As fall sports draw to a close, the Wave Football squad will look to forge ahead in the post-season and make the most out of an impressive journey so far. Plays similar to Sam Johnson’s are what separate Wave football from the rest, and the consistently high work rate of each player will carry the team even further.

Make sure to check out Sam Johnson’s highlight on SportsCenter’s Top Plays, and stay tuned in to Green Wave Football as they look to cap off the season on a high note.
