West Orange Takes First Place at Jets 11-ON Regional High School Football Tournament 

This week, the Jets hosted the fifth annual Nike 11-ON tournament fueled by Gatorade from Friday, June 28th through Sunday, June 30th at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. The 11-ON tournament was comprised of a traditional 7v7 tournament, as well as a linemen challenge. There were 40 high schools participating from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

West Orange High School won the 7v7 tournament, defeating Butler in the championship game 24-15. West Orange also took first in the linemen challenge. The linemen challenge consisted of strength, agility, and skill based competitions. West Orange will be recognized on-field during the New York Jets preseason game against the Washington Commanders (Aug. 10) – the Jets designated Play Football game, which celebrates youth football on all levels.

“The New York Jets are proud to contribute to giving young athletes the opportunity to compete in what we believe to be the best sport in the world,” explained Jets Community Relations Senior Manager Elijah Hodges. “Through 11-ON and other programs we look forward to continuing to support our community playing football.”

All teams were invited to participate free of charge and participants received a pair of Jets branded shorts and Jets 11- ON shirts, courtesy of Nike.
