A Day With Coach Barry Rizzo

On Saturday, November 19, 2022, we spent the day with the legendary Coach Barry Rizzo at the home of Matawan football named after him, Barry Rizzo Stadium. It was a great day for Matawan Football and a great day for all Huskies.

 

Below are some pictures from this incredible day. Please also click the button below for many more pictures and videos from our event!

Coach Leon "Butch" Britton

The Matawan Football Alumni Foundation along with all those who ever knew the man are very
saddened about the passing of Leon Butch Britton. Mr. Britton was a staple in the success that
Matawan Football had under the rein of Coach Barry Rizzo. Mr. Britton was the defensive coordinator for Mr. Rizzo’s championship teams and led the Huskies to some of the best defensive play in the shore Conference and the state. Mr. Britton will always be remembered as a fun loving and inspirational coach.

 

We all want to give our condolences and prayers to the family, and let them know that he will
always be remembered in the minds and hearts of the Husky Nation.
