Joey Russo Helps Northfield Cardinals Score Against Ocean City

It was a beautiful September Saturday in Ocean City, a perfect afternoon for football.

The sun was shining and spirits were high as the Northfield Cardinals faced the Ocean City Red Raiders.

There was added excitement for the young players, as the well-known Gillian's Wonderland Pier Ferris Wheel sat in perfect sight.

The extra-point attempt began with a great handoff from quarterback Brady Blum to tight end Joey Russo.

Great fakes from the elusive running backs and excellent blocks from the mighty offensive line, gave good shape to this misdirection play. Joey alluded two Red Raiders and crossed the goal line for the extra point.
