Brick Memorial 16, Toms River North 14

Junior kicker Matt Cuppari nailed a 40-yard field goal with 5.2 seconds left in regulation to give the Mustangs (1-1, 1-1) a thrilling road win over the Mariners (1-1, 1-1).

Toms River North took a 14-13 lead when sophomore quarterback Mike Husni hit senior tight end Jordan Craig for a 21-yard touchdown and sophomore kicker Kyle Bayha added the extra point with 51.5 seconds left in the game before Brick Memorial put together the game-winning drive.

Fullback Connor Owen had an 8-yard touchdown run for Brick Memorial in the first quarter and then Toms River North immediately tied it when junior tailback Asante Moorer took a short pass from Husni and went 65 yards for a touchdown. The game remained 7-7 until Brick Memorial took a 13-7 lead with 9:02 left in the game on a 24-yard run by quarterback Tim Santiago.
