1969 Football Team

2017

Football

The 1969 Manasquan Football Team was one of the most dominant squads in Warriors history, going 8-0 under head coach Bud Neylan to claim the Shore Conference Class B Championship. The Warriors outscored their opponents 206-84 on the season, a margin that reflected the team's complete dominance on both sides of the ball.


At the center of the offense was running back Lenny Warwick, who won the 1969 Peter Blocksom Roetzel Award as MHS's top student-athlete. The team also featured future Hall of Famer George Clark, as well as Jared Landfried — whose grandson Jax Landfried would later earn his own Hall of Fame induction.


The Warriors were ranked as high as #3 in the Shore Conference at mid-season and finished the year ranked #64 in the entire state of New Jersey by the State Ledger. The 1969 team's perfect record and championship banner were celebrated with their induction into the Manasquan Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017.
