While many Nassau County football players went to bed early last night before their first day of practice, Roosevelt didn't waste a single minute getting ready.
Since 2013, the Roosevelt Rough Riders have celebrated Midnight Madness and the community has joined them in the festivities at 12 a.m.
This year, Roosevelt's late-night practice was their first on their brand-new turf field.
Roosevelt starts their 2018 campaign Sept. 8 against Floral Park, and then opens at home a week later against Hewlett.
