Eastie to honor Jermaine Wiggins and John Sousa
East Boston will retirey numbers of Jermaine Wiggins (18) and John Sousa (66) when the team hosts Boston English on Nov. 4. Headmaster Mike Rubin told the Herald logistics haven’t been worked out as to whether the ceremony will take place before the game or at halftime.
Wiggins was a two-time Boston City League All-Star (1992-93), before embarking on a collegiate career at Marshall and Georgia. He spent eight teams in the NFL as a member of the Jets, Patriots, Colts, Panthers, Vikings and Jaguars, earning a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots for the 2001 season.
Sousa starred at East Boston in the mid-1960s, captaining the 1968 squad. He spent 17 years as an assistant at Boston English before accepting the coaching job at his alma mater in 1995. The winningest coach in school history, Sousa spent 15 years on the Jets’ sidelines, winning 119 games and a Super Bowl title in 2004.
