A 1-yard touchdown pass from Nick Reardon to Kyle Von Nessen in the fourth quarter provided the winning points as the Patriots (4-2) rallied past the rival Colonials (3-3) to win their third straight game and claim "The Duke" trophy.

Freehold took a 10-3 lead in the third quarter when senior quarterback Matt Krauss caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from sophomore wide receiver Sha'Kim Shuler. A 32-yard field goal by Freehold Township senior Colin Taptich in the fourth quarter cut his team's deficit to 10-6 and the Patriots got the ball right back by recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. That special teams turnover led to the go-ahead scoring drive.

The game featured two of the Shore's best kickers. Freehold senior Jake Hurler gave the Colonials a 3-0 lead with a 29-yard field goal in the first quarter. Taptich answered with a 35-yard field goal late in the first half to make it 3-3 at halftime.

Pete Crowley added a touchdown run and Ryan Dupree blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown.

 

Colts Neck 20, Marlboro 14 (OT)

A touchdown run by junior running back Romeo Thomas in overtime delivered the Cougars (2-4) a wild and crazy victory over the Mustangs (1-5).

Trailing 14-6 in the fourth quarter, Colts Neck was punting from its own 25-yard line when the snap went over the head of punter Gianpiero Oriolo. He was able to recover and complete a pass to senior running back Michael Boliver, who rumbled 15 yards ahead. That gain would not have been enough for a first down, so as Marlboro's defenders brought him to the ground he lateraled to junior wide receiver Gabriel Lugo, who sprinted the remaining 60 yards for the improbable touchdown.

Thomas then ran in the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 14 and eventually force overtime.

The play was not without controversy, however. Marlboro contested Boliver was an ineligible receiver and also that Colts Neck had ineligible linemen down the field. It also appeared Boliver was down before he lateraled the ball. The play stood as called and Colts Neck was able to pick up its second win of the season.

Boliver also caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from freshman quarterback Tom Fallon. It was the first career touchdown pass for Fallon.

Senior running back Dontrell Alston had a touchdown run and senior quarterback Alex Schutzer threw a touchdown pass to senior wideout Matt Budveit for Marlboro.
