Extremely sad news to share with the Minutemen Football Family - long time assistant coach & mentor Will Fennal passed away this morning. Coach Fennal was more than a coach - he was a significant part of our TWP football family! We’re devastated by the news...RIP 🔴⚪️🔵
In a year filled with bad news - we finally have great news! Our very own 2020 grad

Congrats to 2014 Twp grad, Andrew O'Neill for being honored as the TD Club of Southern NJ College POY! O’Neill is one of the best football players to come through the Minutemen program! He just finished his career at Sacred Heart University!

Minutemen players & coaches took a trip to Walmart tonight to shop for underprivileged kids in the community. The coaching staff raised $1,200 to help support the TWP Toys for Tots!

2 Covid shutdowns - 1 game cancelled due to covid - 29 days between games and only the 4th game of this crazy season...most would complain, quit, or blame others - not these guys! Thankful to have the opportunity to work with a group of dedicated young men! 🔴⚪️🔵
TWP got a visit from Rutgers Head Coach Greg Schiano this afternoon! Coach Schiano landed the Rutgers helicopter on campus and got a chance to meet members of the Community and have lunch with Rutgers Commit John Stone and members of our coaching staff and Police Department!🔴⚪️
Unfortunately, the Minutemen lost 2018 grad Michael Cressen-Pardo. Pardo was a staple in the Football program, he was a program kid that played football not for the glory on Friday nights but the BROTHERHOOD! RIPMCP
PRIDE - Amazing to see the difference in our facilities over the last few years. District, Alumni, Booster Club, Family, Friends, and Coaches have INVESTED in the program! Weight room, storage garage, coaches office, & team meeting room UPGRADES!
Congratulations to 2022 grad Jo'Nathan Silver on his commitment to University of Delaware! Jo'Nathan received a FULL scholarship! On top of being an All South Jersey Running Back, Jo'Nathan has a 4.0 GPA! He is the total package! Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Congratulations to Senior John Stone on receiving the Touchdown Club South Jersey Offensive Lineman of the year! Stone was a 3 year letter winner, 2X All WJFL, 2X All SJ, & All State Selection. More importantly he has a 3.8 GPA and is attending Rutgers on a full scholarship!
To be a champion, you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning & losing; it's about every day hard work & about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end & not being afraid. Proud of our effort today. Back to work Monday!
Congratulations to 2023 OL

0-2 to start 2019...most would surrender & quit but NOT the Minutemen. The players made a decision to put their head down and work! Proud of our program, school, and community! Looking forward to the second half of the season!

When football coaches recommend wrestling for players in their program, this picture describes why. It teaches toughness, discipline, competition, and handling adversity. Not surprised by the success the

On average 7% of High School football players participate at the college level. The 2021 Minutemen have 30% of our graduating class playing collegiate football at the next level! Hard work in the classroom and on the field has provided them great opportunities!
@WTHS_Athletics
25 Minutemen players, coaches, and alumni took a visit across the bridge to check out the Eagles at practice! Great evening with great people! Thank you to Dan Levy from the Philadelphia Eagles Staff for hooking us up with sideline passes! 🔴⚪️🔵 🦅
Not the result we wanted last night on Senior night but I wouldn’t trade any of these Seniors for anyone! A group that has been through their fair share of tough times but continued to show up and work everyday. I’m extremely proud to be involved in each one of their lives!
