The 2022 Jonathan Law-Foran Thanksgiving Day game was an incredibly memorable experience for the Jonathan Law community.

Not only did the Lawmen win the game and make the playoffs for the second time in school history, but two celebrities were also in attendance.

Logan Paul and Mike Majlak attended the game along with approximately 5,000 spectators. Majlak, a Foran alum, was in Connecticut for Thanksgiving and decided to attend the game with his friend, Logan Paul.

Law Principal Bryan Darcy and Milford officials learned of their impending arrival the week of the game.

“I found out that Monday morning prior to Thanksgiving, and we knew it was a possibility because their people contacted our people downtown and there had to be some logistical things,” Darcy said. “They were coming no matter what, but we had to prepare to ensure that they had security and everyone was safe here.”

When Paul and Majlak arrived at the game, they sat in their own designated seats on the track to avoid energized fans.

“It was a nice experience for me because I actually spoke to (Logan Paul) for about 10 minutes on the field, and I know he’s famous for a lot of things, but we had a very nice, normal conversation,” Darcy said. “He was nice, he was genuine and I when I asked and he was willing to meet students.”

Some students taking photos were also able to have conversations with Paul and Majlak.

“It was unbelievable that they were there, because I’ve been watching Mike Majlak ever since he started vlogs and have told him my appreciation about all the love he gives back to the Milford community,” said senior and photographer Eric Relucio. “Doing what I love like filming alongside them only helped support my passion and the whole experience has given me the determination and confidence to continue to do what I love knowing that anything is possible.” 

During the halftime show, Paul and Majlak came over to greet students who were eager to meet them. Many students had their phones out and some even brought Sharpies so they could sign their phone cases, PRIME drink bottles, and sweatshirts.

“It was-life changing. He held my phone and I’ll never forget that for the rest of my life,” said junior Samantha Chy. “It made my Thanksgiving.” 

Paul and Majlak stayed until the end of halftime before exiting the field. After their departure, the Law would conclude the game by defeating Foran 60-29.

Majlak later posted photos and videos of their appearance on his social media accounts.
