UPDATE: Unfortunately, the game has been cancelled. AD Philip Weil, of Vance County High School, said the “game is canceled this Saturday due to the continuous impact and devastation to the East Rutherford community.”  He said, “If people have already bought supplies, we will collect and make sure the Red Cross receives them,” if the supplies are brought to campus during the week. No one will be on site Saturday.
