All of the purple in the stands must have paid off. Mahwah High School seniors closed out their final football season with a 55-20 victory over Fort Lee Friday night.
The T-Birds and their fans in the stands were decked out in purple, observing pulmonary hypertension awareness month. The team's "mascot," an eight-year-old who battles the condition, inspired the purple pride.
Vinny Accurso, who has a brother on the team, watched from the sidelines as the team played in his honor.
