The Little Brown JUG

Fast Facts

  • The Little Brown Jug Game is an annual football game between the Pirates of Pearl River High School and the Golden Knights of Nanuet High School.

  • The winner of the Little Brown Jug Game is presented with the Little Brown Jug Trophy, donated by Patsy and Lil Veltidi, founding members of Nanuet High School's Black & Gold Club.

  • The Little Brown Jug has produced some nail biting, gut wrenching games over the years, with Nanuet holding a clear edge in the series.

  • There have been 23 shutouts in the Little Brown Jug Game, including a 0-0 tie in the 1975 match-up, a rare dual shutout.   

  • Since the start of the Little Brown Jug Game in the Autumn of 1961, the teams did not play each other 6 times (1979, '80, '81, '82, '91 & '15).​
