In a dramatic fashion, Carteret would score in the final three minutes to overcome Rumson

20-14 in the in the NJSIAA/Gatorade Central Jersey, Group 2 championship game before over 4,000 at Rutgers Stadium in Piscataway.

Carteret hadn’t won a title in over a decade (1996) – and, even more surprising about the win, were the speculations after the first three games of the season; of which Carteret had only won one – and lost the remaining two by only one point.

The NJSIAA/Gatorade Central Jersey, Group 3 title game Sunday night between Moorestown and Long Branch would waste no time getting under way. Mike Reynolds, putting all theatrics center stage scored off the opening kickoff, 92 yards, drawing first blood in a dramatic fashion.

“Brian Burnham had a great lead block, I saw the wall form and I just ran lateral to the sideline and from there it was a foot race,” Reynolds said. “Our special teams thought we could bust one, a game-changer, and it turns out it worked and gave us a lot of momentum.”

Reynold’s game-opening return would be the only points scored in the first half; that’s not to say Long Branch didn’t have their chances; they managed to push their way deep into Moorestown territory twice before halftime – painfully coming away empty both times.

Holy Cross would look to its defense to completely shut down Gloucester Catholic at the NJSIAA/Gatorade Non-Public, Group 2 championship, at Rutgers Stadium on December 1st.

The numbers tell the story of this game, but none so dramatically as the amount of yardage Gloucester Catholic was held to during the first half; nine - not even double digits. They would walk away from the game with a subservient 58 yards more which they would accumulate after halftime.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s more single digit statistics that draw even the most inobservant eye – plenty more. Like seven, the number of times Gloucester quarterback Mike Calzonetti found himself on the ground with the ball still in hand. Or four, relating to the number of times the ball left his hand, and ended up in the other teams. Read the rest of this entry »
