Friday will be a special day for the Johnson High School baseball program.
The 1974 team, which captured a sectional title, will be honored.
As many as 11 members of the 1974 squad, along with head coach Louis Peragallo, will be attending.
A pre-game ceremony will take place prior to Johnson’s scheduled 4 p.m. Union County Conference-Mountain Division home game vs. Roselle Park.
All ALJ alumni as well as any former players under Coach Peragallo are welcome to attend.
The team will also be making a special announcement during the ceremony regarding the formation of the Jeff Felter Memorial Scholarship in honor of their former teammate and friend.
Those interested in making a donation of any size in this initial year to get this scholarship off to a great start may e-mail Scott Fritz at [email protected] for more information.
