KAPLAN — The Peter Russo Memorial Trophy will remain in Abbeville for another year after the Wildcats claimed a 14-13 win over Kaplan on Friday night.
The trophy, which is named in honor of a 1941 AHS graduate who died while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1944 during World War II, has been given to the winner of the Abbeville-Kaplan game every year since Russo’s family established the trophy in 1961. Abbeville won the trophy in 2021 for the first time in 16 years, and retained it with Friday’s down-to-the-wire win.
North Vermilion's Cameron Hebert (17) and Noah Stelly (22) helped the Patriots win on Friday.
