We are saddened to hear the news of George Sypniewski’s passing. Coach Sypniewski led the football program from 1976-89 and was instrumental in our program and all of Johnston Schools. Our thoughts are with his family and he will be greatly missed.
Not the way we wanted the season to end but what a season it was! Kids fought hard all game it just wasn’t our night. This Dragon team accomplished something no team before it had and sets a standard for the teams to follow. Thank you Johnston for your support tonight!
Big honor for Coach Merrick! Congrats to Coach Merrick for being named Honorary Captain! He is a tremendous coach, leader, and mentor to our players and this is a testament of his impact everywhere he goes
