After these scores do any of the others really matter? :sunglasses:
Nope.
Red Bank undefeated and took down the mighty Red Bank Catholic.
And Rumson Fair Haven having another solid year. My friend's son is a running bank for the freshman team, and he was called up to the varsity squad for last night's game. Watched this kid play in a freshman game and he is an impressive power back.
 
In smaller school action, gotta give a shout out to Hawthorne and Coach Passero for their 38-13 win over Sussex Tech in N1G2 action. Sussex Tech made the playoffs basically on the strength of their win over G5 Bergen Tech, who got routed by Passaic Tech in the first round of N1G5.

...remember a week or so back in the latest round of the public/ non-public debate when some were acting like all of the Techs were these football powers in waiting? In reality it's ONE school, Passaic Tech, and even they are still limited by geography, as well as having DePaul and Wayne Hills (as well as a number of smaller but quality programs) right in their backyard.
