OT: 2023 NJ HS Football Season

The wing t is so easy to stop, so so easy to stop. I say this as someone who was a qb in the wing t.

We lit up scoreboards vs teams. We lost 4 games in my 3 years of ball, went 32-4. But allllll teams have to do is play an eagle front and dent the last surface in each side and it’s toast. Any team that did that to us had success and we were a top 10 ranked team in NJ amongst public and non public
You can play even fronts ans well and have DTs maintain gaps while DEs contain Waggle, Sweeps, Belly, etc. LBs have to attack RBs while DBs make sure their WRs and TE/WBs don’t sneak by them.

Just don’t chase any ghosts like Shabazz Ends were doing last night.
 
Crazy how these basic wing t’s are whacking the teams with athletes coming out of their ears
It’s an equalizer vs defenses who will run balls deep into the backfield and chase ghosts. It’s flexible that you can also run power football, option, and even a passing game.

But its hilarious that there’s coaches out there who REALLY hate this offense ONLY because it’s not what you see on ESPN.
 
Delsea vs West Essex. A wing t group 3 state final. Gonna set football back 3 decades but will be a rock em sock em 14-7 type game
Apparently you have never seen Mainland play, averaging 40 a game. Should be a great one when they play Ramapo in the G4 Finals.
 
I know this isn’t the most popular Turkey Day Game amongst the majority here. But with both schools going into this years game ticked off they way both got knocked out of the playoffs, 2023 game should be a classic.

ANY OTHER TURKEY DAY GAMES THATS STILL AROUND THAT SHOULD GET GET LOVE AS WELL???

 
Here’s the HS fb Finals schedule for the next week at MetLife and Rutgers…

Sunday, Nov. 26 - at Rutgers

Group 1: Mountain Lakes vs. Glassboro, 11 a.m.
Group 4: Ramapo vs. Mainland, 2 p.m.
Group 3: West Essex vs. Delsea, 5 p.m.


Monday, Nov. 27 - at Rutgers

Group 2: Westwood vs. Rumson-Fair Haven, 5 p.m.
Group 5: Passaic Tech vs. Toms River North, 8 p.m.


Tuesday, Nov. 28 - at MetLife Stadium

NP-B: Red Bank Catholic vs. DePaul, 5 p.m.
NP-A: Bergen Catholic vs. Delbarton, 8 p.m.



I know they wanted to play all the South Jersey Teams on the same day/site. But they could’ve had the PUBLIC SCHOOL GAMES OF THE YEAR back to back with Ramapo/Mainland at 11, PCT/TRN at 3 on Sunday. Only complaint I have considering that neither site was available this weekend, except for Sunday at Rutgers.

Didn't think they'd play the State Champ Games this weekend with some schools still doing Thanksgiving Games. I have to imagine those Turkey Bowls are likely going to be extinct to all but schools with zero chances of ever competing for state titles moving forward.

The State Finals WAS first weekend in December because of Thanksgiving Day. It was pushed to Turkey Day Weekend because the state didn’t want football to overlap basketball. It didn’t help that Rutgers/MetLife wasn’t available ALL Weekend, which is why you have that Sunday- Tuesday schedule.

Would’ve been interesting to see what Shabazz would’ve done if they had beaten Mountain Lakes. Would they still play their Thanksgiving game with their Finals 3 days later?

For teams who had thanksgiving games, they would have played their state title games on Wednesday and Thursday. The link to the njsiaa schedule on this is on gridironnj.com
 
It feels weird that my son’s team is playing on a Tuesday. Anyway, it is the HS game of the year: Delbarton v Bergen Catholic!
 
If it was all about stats, Weequahic RB Rashawn Marshall would be all over these boards, esp after scoring his 5th TD today as Weequahic are destroying Shabazz 48-8 in their Newark Soul Bowl game.

 
Jeezus… as soon as I posted the above and refreshed my TwiX feed…

 
Is shabazz just poorly coached? Whats the deal? The have an insane amount of talent for a group 1. Or did these kids “sit out” because they all think theyre going to the nfl
Who the hell knows. Maybe they all mentally checked out after they lost to Mountain Lakes. Maybe they didn’t understand the importance that some alumni put on their Thanksgiving Day Game.

However that’s Weequahic’s MO all year as they scored 60 on almost everyone. And even though I have a feeling why he’s not on the recruiting radar, I wonder how the hell Weequahic RB Rashawn Marshall’s name don’t pop up on these Recruiting Lists!!!

@Richard Schnyderite Is there a reason why this 5-10, 170 Senior is not on anyone’s radar as he had 128-1766, 35 TDs rushing in his senior year? He also was 8-236, 2 TDs receiving. Or is it grades or something other?
