Senior QB Montesdeoca throws TD pass in first half, runs for 2 scores in second
KENILWORTH – Brearley put together a couple of time-consuming drives that resulted in touchdowns in the first half, but at least Dayton had the ball a few times and some opportunities. The underdog Bulldogs hung tough for the first 24 minutes, trailing only by a touchdown at intermission. However, in the second half not only did […]
Senior captain Guillaume rushes for 92 yards and 2 TDs
PLAINFIELD – “Discipline, assignments, trust.” That was the theme for Linden this week as the Tigers had to make sure they remained focused for a confident Plainfield team, despite all of the distractions around them. “Discipline meaning how we have to act on the field, assignments meaning how we go about trying to win the […]
Hilltoppers have now won 29 straight regular season home games
SUMMIT – For much of the first half it was a battle of the defenses at Tatlock Field Friday night, with visiting Governor Livingston first stopping host Summit and then the Hilltoppers halting the Highlanders. That went on for four possessions by each team before a bad snap out of the end zone finally resulted […]
While last year was certainly a season to remember for the Linden High School football program, this year has not gotten off to a good start in terms of performance and clean play. Less than 12 months after the Tigers captured only their second state championship in the playoff era and first in 29 years, […]
With five seconds remaining before halftime Friday night, Roselle Park fourth-year head coach Terry Hanratty said, “why not?” So he sent out sophomore Valentino Ambrosio to attempt a 46-yard field goal at Herm Shaw Field. The 5-7, 140-pounder – who was Roselle Park’s varsity kicker last year as a freshman – sought to extend a […]
Panthers lone team off this weekend; Will return Sept. 25 at Bound Brook
Three Union County teams opened with shutout victories last weekend, two on Friday night and one on Saturday afternoon. On Friday night in Mid-State 38 Conference-Valley Division play, Roselle Park opened at home with a 38-0 win over Pingry, while New Providence won at South Hunterdon 34-0. For the Panthers it was their fourth straight win […]
ROSELLE – If Roselle has designs on making another run in Central Jersey, Group 2 two months from now the Rams have a lot of work ahead of them. The good news from Saturday’s season-opener against neighborhood rival Rahway was that Roselle came away with a 7-0 Mid-State 38 Conference-Mountain Division victory. The bad news was […]
Senior WR Patrick Thomas scored Union's lone TD; Davis Sobrosa kicked a 24-yard field goal
UNION – After Friday night I bet teams will think twice about kicking the ball to or throwing a pass in the direction of Phillipsburg senior Manny Romero the rest of the season. But returning a kickoff for a touchdown for the first time and coming up with two interceptions was just some of what […]
SPRINGFIELD – Not many teams in Union County have as many returning starters as the Bulldogs do, with Dayton having seven back on offense and eight on defense. However, since the total number for the program this year is 34, the number of total returning starters – 15 combined for offense and defense – is […]
ROSELLE – What a breakout year it was for the Rams last season, beginning with a win over neighborhood rival Rahway for the first time since 2001. Then the following was achieved: * Roselle won its first playoff game and reached a sectional semifinal both for the first time since 1998. * The Rams won […]
