Rahway Varsity Football Team Extends Record to 4-1 with Win at Madden Field

RAHWAY, NJ — It was a nostalgic affair on Friday for many of the Rahway varsity football players, as the team took on North Hunterdon (1-4) at Madden Field. Madden Field is the location for many of the city's youth programs, including Pop Warner and the cheerleading program.

The team regularly plays on its home field at Rahway River Park but decided to switch up the venue last week for old time's sake.
