Malcolm X Shabazz High School Football had a historic season that instilled Bulldog pride in everyone in the Newark community. After winning six consecutive away games, the Bulldogs made it to the Group 2 State Championship game against Rumson-Fair Haven at Rutgers SHI Stadium in Piscataway – an outstanding accomplishment for the team and the school community.
The District congratulated all of the student athletes on the team, Athletic Director Noel Colon, Head Football Coach Naz Oliver, Coach Nasir Gaines, and the entire football coaching staff who have worked to develop their players’ character as young men and their skills as athletes. They also thanked and acknowledged Dr. Atiba Buckman for her leadership as principal, her tireless efforts on behalf of all Malcolm X Shabazz High School students and families, and her enthusiastic support of the Bulldogs football team.
