Wall PBA Donating New Scoreboard At Football Stadium

WALL, NJ — Wall Township High School will be unveiling a new scoreboard dedicated to the victims of 9/11 and their families when the Crimson Knights kick off their high school football season next week.

The dedication ceremony is set for 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7, at Wall High School.

The new scoreboard was paid for by funds raised by the Wall Township PBA Local 234 through its Always Remember campaign, which included participation in a charity football game supporting the families of 9/11, and donations from Wall PBA, residents and local business owners, said Wall Police Capt. Greg Carpino.

Among the 2,977 people killed as a result of the 9/11 attacks were the following people with ties to Wall Township: James L. Cooper; John E. Connolly Jr.; Robert W. O'Shea, Christopher E. Lunder and Alfonse Niedermeyer III. There were 147 Monmouth County residents killed in the attacks.

The scoreboard is at the football field, which is used for several sports, officials noted.

The football game against Lakewood begins at 7 p.m.

The Wall Township Police Department and the administrative staff of Wall Public Schools have fully supported this benevolent initiative by the Wall PBA, Carpino said.
