Shoutout to senior Mathew Resende (#8) for starting the Bears’ win against Highland Park — Go Bears! More shoutouts to Joseph Squillaro (#12) and Monroe Passmore (#21) for recording two rushing touchdowns against the South River Rams to secure that win. Also, a final shoutout to Rocco Federico (#5) for recording four sacks against Dayton to help Brearley reach the playoffs. It was an amazing comeback year for the football team; the improvement fans saw in every game was incredible to watch. Watch them next year in the 2026 season. Go Bears!
