Westwood had a very aggressive drive to open the game, scoring on a fabulous individual effort …

Weequahic was leading, 20-7, at halftime. I am told it was 7-7 in the second quarter when they blocked a punt and forced the Mountain Lakes punter into shanking another. Both plays led to Indian touchdowns. 

Mountain Lakes came out …

I must say I goofed big-time on Friday night with the streams. I thought I was watching Toms River North host Kingsway. I tuned in and I was thinking Kingsway was going to beat them and was told it was …

In one of the wildest games I’ve ever witnessed, Northern Highlands beat Ramapo in overtime, 42-35 and became the 2022 North Jersey Section 1 Group 4 champions. There were lead changes and big plays, but many will remember this game …

Now that the playoffs are here, we will have sectional champions crowned in another 9-10 days. I wrote about this early in the season and I am revisiting this now. The state semifinals or when the sectional winners begin playing …
