Touchdown Club of Southern New Jersey Honors 2026 Scholar-Athletes

The Dr. Warren J. McClain Touchdown Club of Southern New Jersey held its annual Scholar-Athlete banquet the night of November 9, 2026 at Adelphia Restaurant in Deptford.

Top senior Scholar-Athletes from 33 South Jersey high school football programs were honored by the club for dinner and a celebration of their excellence in the classroom.

Each coach provided a message about their Scholar-Athlete that was read aloud at the banquet. Plaques were also given to the honorees.

The West Jersey Football Coaches Association awarded the top two Scholar-Athletes with $1,000 scholarships – Florence Township’s Gerald Bonsu and Shawnee’s Ben Eiferman.

Coaches from 16 schools also chose to honor an Outstanding Player. Each received a framed certificate for contributions to his team.

The Touchdown Club thanks all who participated!
