EAST ORANGE, NJ – The East Orange Campus High School varsity football team hopes to end the season on a winning note as the Jaguars visit Barringer on Thanksgiving Day in the teams’ annual Thanksgiving Day game. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. at Schools Stadium in Newark.
The Jaguars are coming off a 42-13 loss to Elizabeth in the first round of the state North Jersey Section 2, Group 5 playoffs on Nov. 11 at Paul Robeson Stadium to move to a 5-4 record. Barringer has a 2-7 record.
