Class A South

No. 6 Brick 2, No. 3 Jackson Memorial 0

Brick (4-0, 4-0) recorded a safety in the first five minutes of the first quarter and held on for a huge division win over the Jaguars (3-1, 2-1).

Jackson had a field goal blocked and missed another, however the missed field goal came after Jared Calhoun had connected one play earlier, but the play was nullified because of a penalty.

Junior defensive back Max Hazard had an interception and senior defensive lineman Charlie Gargiulo had a fumble recovery for Red Bank Catholic (4-0, 3-0).

Long Branch 6, Colts Neck 0

Brandon Lane's 2-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was all the Green Wave (2-2, 1-2) needed in blanking the Cougars (0-4, 0-2) at home.
