On September 10th, 2021, the varsity football team played against West Babylon High School, with a final score of 24-13 in Newfield’s favor. It was incredibly well-matched, and after Newfield scored in the first quarter, not giving a chance for West Babylon to come back, no one scored for all of the second and third quarter. When West Babylon finally scored, things got tense, but Newfield came out on top.

The Blackout game was one of the first games that allowed in-person crowds since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many band students present playing music to cheer on the football team, which was the first live music performance in Middle Country since COVID hit.
