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!

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.
MFAF member Christian Dapolito interviewed long-time football coach Butch Britton before he passed away. Below is an audio file of his interview. Rest in peace Coach Britton.
Many thanks and congratulations to our 2021 HOF Honorees, Coaches, Players, and the rest of our Husky Family for another successful Matawan Football Alumni Foundation Banquet!
