KENILWORTH – The one thing that Brearley needs to do to win – its blueprint according to head coach Scott Miller – was halted by a Holmdel team that did its homework. Brearley’s running game was held in check pretty much for the entire game, while Holmdel – which didn’t rush the ball that well […]
UNION – The Farmers played their game-scrimmage at Summit with the utmost confidence. They scored on offense – guided by the passing combination of sophomore quarterback Andrew Sanborn to senior wide receiver Andy Martin – and they ran to the ball carrier on defense – led by senior linebacker Temilou Adanlawo’s athletic solo sack of […]
CLARK – The Crusaders were right there last year. They were – perhaps – just a play away from playing for a trip to the Central Jersey, Group 2 state championship game.

Accentuating the Brearley backfield is senior tailback Khalid Bonnet, who in his first year as a starter a year ago ran for […]
LINDEN – There aren’t a whole lot of starters back, but the Tigers do have several players who can make a big impact where it doesn’t matter if they have experience or not. “On offense we’re trying to get back to basics and minimize our mistakes,” third-year head coach Al Chiola said. “We’re talented on […]
CRANFORD – Not since 2008 have the Cougars had as few returning starters as they have this season.
