Nonconference

Asbury Park 14, Middlesex 13

Senior quarterback Davon Thompson connected on an 80-yard touchdown pass to senior Jaedon Stephens on fourth-and-35 with one minute left in regulation, and Thompson then hit junior Dyquan Young for the two-point conversion as the Blue Bishops (3-1) stunned the Blue Jays (3-1) in Middlesex.

A 1-yard touchdown run by Ryan Coke had given Middlesex a 13-6 lead with 2:30 left in regulation. On Asbury's next and final possession the Blue Bishops found themselves in a big hole when on second down the ball was snapped before Thompson was ready, resulting in a 20-yard loss. Backed up at their own 20 and on fourth down, Thompson hit Stephens on a skinny post and the senior wide out did the rest to pull the Bishops within one.

Having missed its first extra point while battling the wind, Asbury Park head coach Tim Fosque decided to go for the 2-point conversion and the win. Thompson was able to find Young on a backside slant for the successful conversion and the 14-13 victory.

Thompson and Stevens also hooked up for Asbury Park's first touchdown on a smoke screen.

 

Point Beach 17, Spotswood 7

Junior defensive back Connor Kells returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown and sophomore quarterback Luke Frauenheim ran for a 40-yard touchdown to lead the Garnet Gulls (2-2) past the Chargers (2-2).

Sophomore Sean Gould gave Point Beach a 3-0 lead with a 32-yard field goal in the first quarter, and Kells' interception return touchdown with two minutes left in the first half staked the Gulls to a 10-0 halftime lead. Point Beach then recovered an onside kick to start the second half with sophomore John Nista jumping on the loose ball. That set up Frauenheim's 40-yard burst on an off-tackle run to put Point Beach up 17-0 before Spotswood scored in the third quarter.

 

Keansburg 18, South River 13

Senior running back Arkeyel Brown ran for 147 yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 carries and forced a South River fumble at the 2-yard line to end the game as the Titans (1-3) came from behind to beat the Rams (0-4).
