The Merrill Varsity Football Team took to the road last Friday night, Sept. 20, 2024, heading to Antigo via Hwy. 64 to take back the trophy in the ongoing “War on 64” rivalry between the Bluejays and the Red Robins … and “The war on 64 trophy is back in Merrill,” said Merrill Varsity Head Football Coach Jason Wadzinski.
The Bluejays completed an absolute shutout game against the Red Robins! Final score: Merrill Bluejays 31-Antigo Red Robins 0.
The key to the win? “We executed the defensive game plan of disguising things to create havoc resulting in takeaways,” he said.
And now … “We’re on to Homecoming Week!” Wadzinski said.
Merrill will play Lakeland this Saturday afternoon in the Homecoming Football Game at 1:30 p.m. at Jay Stadium, but come early right after the Homecoming Parade to get great seats, buy a brat from the Silver M Brat Sale and Tailgating Party, and pay tribute to this year’s inductees into the Silver M Club. Don’t forget to wear blue and white and plan to cheer for the home team. Go Bluejays!
