Good morning, Sports fans! It’s your ol’ pal Davey Mac here and we’ve got a fun, first Sports Report of the week for ya! We got the baseball! The basketball! The hockey! And more! But first!
Did you see what Giants quarterbacks Eli Manning and Daniel Jones were up to over the weekend? They were in Manasquan, New Jersey on Saturday at the Shore Girls Flag Football camp! And we’ve got the footage for ya!
Organized by Middletown South football coach Steve Antonucci, the program teaches female high school athletes the game of flag football. Said Eli about flag football: “It’s a great game that girls and boys can all play and it provides an opportunity to go on.”
