New Jersey vs. Texas high school football is finally happening.
Don Bosco announced Thursday night at its team banquet that the Ironmen will open up the 2025 season against Melissa High School at Kenny Deel Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 29 in Melissa, Texas.
“It’s Texas football,” Ironmen coach Dan Sabella said Friday morning. “Texas is one of the hotbeds for high school football in the nation. I don’t really have to say more than that.”
The game is part of the 2025 Wipe Out Kid’s Cancer Football Classic in Texas, with all proceeds going to pediatric cancer survivors and their families.
