Ridgewood 47 Ramapo 42

Ridgewood knocked off previously unbeaten Ramapo, 47-42, in a thriller. Besides the offensive fireworks, each team scored on a blocked punt with special teams having a hand in the scoring for the evening.

Bull Session Week Eight  

We are getting into the stretch run before the playoffs and I always preferred having four groups in the public schools, as opposed to the current five. There are too many average and below-average teams …

We’re in the last two weeks before playoffs and here is where I am headed:

Friday:

Ramapo at Ridgewood

Saturday:

Bergen Catholic at Seton Hall Prep

I would love to go to one of the South Jersey games on Saturday, …

Public Groups 1-2  

The top six remain the same and some changes begin after that. Delaware Valley losing has them moving down a few spots and there are no new entries in this poll. As I have said before, I …

Public Groups 3-4-5 

The top three remain unchanged; but there are changes underneath. Overall, it’s pretty stable. The fourth and fifth-ranked teams both lost, which generated some movement. As I have said before, I generally do not penalize teams for …

Catholics  

DePaul’s loss to Don Bosco moves them down a little, while Bosco and Seton Hall Prep move up. The top two teams will face each other this week in Bergen Catholic and Seton Hall Prep, while Bosco and St. …

Bergen Catholic 21 St. Joe’s (Montvale) 10

After a scoreless first half, Hasbrouck Heights scored twice to go in front 10-0 and hang on for a 10-7 win. 

First Quarter: After a Becton punt, Hasbrouck Heights had the ball on their 45 …

Sneak Peek at Next Week 

We have heard about all the games coming up this weekend. I was going to do something similar, but I thought of something else: next week’s games. Here are some potentially big games to see …

Bull Session Week Seven  

What a game for Hackensack’s Curtis Whiting, scoring seven touchdowns against Passaic in their 49-12 win over Passaic….Also having a big game was Cherokee’s Brandon Boria; known as Bam, he rushed for 334 yards …

Clifton 17 Eastside 14  

Clifton’s defense made a stop on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line with sixteen seconds left in the game to beat Eastside, 17-14. Eastside was down 17-7 in the fourth quarter and fell one yard short of …

This is the three day week for me.

Thursday night:

Clifton at Eastside

Friday night:

Hasbrouck Heights at Becton

Saturday:

St. Joe’s (Montvale) at Bergen Catholic…

Public Groups 1-2  

The Top 9 remain the same. The biggest change comes from Caldwell beating Cedar Grove and they generally flip-flop with one another. There are some changes in the order, while two teams exit and two enter. 

1 …

Public Groups 3-4-5 

There are some changes. I flip-flopped Northern Highlands and Woodbridge; Woodbridge did not do anything bad, it was just a gut feeling. They may end up seeing one another in the playoffs and that would solve things. …

Catholics  

There is some change with Don Bosco and St. Joe’s (Montvale) moving up. I am fully aware of the situation at Donovan Catholic and have been. The way I look at it, they won the games on the field …

Don Bosco 31 Delbarton 10 

After allowing a Delbarton touchdown on the game’s opening drive, Don Bosco took over the game on both sides of the ball and won, 31-10.  

First Quarter: Delbarton opened the game with a seven-minute, 15-play …

Caldwell 30 Cedar Grove 23   

Caldwell jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never trailed, defeating Cedar Grove, 30-23. While Cedar Grove stayed within striking distance, Caldwell controlled much of the game.  

First Quarter: Caldwell’s first possession began on their …

Sneak Peek at Next Week 

We have heard about all the games coming up this weekend. I was going to do something similar, but I thought of something else: next week’s games. Here are some potentially big games to see …

Hip hip hooray! The Giants won! So did the Jets. Both in overtime. The G-men will have a hard time with Dallas, this week, though….Khiri Summers, a junior, for South Brunswick had a big game, catching 4 for …

I will attend two games this weekend, one working public and catholic. I look forward to the Friday night game, as I have not seen either team in a few years. And when I do a poll, I like to …

Public Groups 1-2  

There is a change in the order with Woodstown beating Penns Grove decisively. Bernards moved down some after being beaten by Delaware Valley. There is also a new entry with Hawthorne, whose only loss was to #23 …

Public Groups 3-4-5 

It was generally stable last week. I moved Cedar Creek up a few spots after beating Holy Spirit. I also dropped Colts Neck, but they didn’t fall out entirely because one of their losses was to Donovan …
