Now, let's take a look at some of the best plays from Week 7.

Holmdel's Jaden Gallo

Holmdel defeated Manasquan, 20-13, to finish the season with a 6-1 record. Gallo's fourth-quarter touchdown run clinched it and provided the Hornets with the third one-loss season in program history.

Brick Memorial's Ahki Barksdale

After starting the season 0-4, Brick Memorial is on a hot streak with three straight wins. A big reason why has been senior playmaker Akhi Barksdale, who returned the second-half kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown in a 21-10 win over St. John Vianney.

Manalapan's Anthony Matrone

Manalapan picked up its first win of the season with a 49-6 victory over Marlboro and Matrone had a huge game with two touchdown runs, a touchdown catch and a fumble return for a touchdown. He breaks several tackles on this 30-yard touchdown reception.

Freehold's Kayden Hutchinson

Hutchinson came through with another clutch kick to give the Colonials a dramatic victory when he crushed a 34-yard field goal late in the game to complete Freehold's 38-35 comeback win over Southern. This one had plenty of distance to spare.

Jackson Memorial's Will Towns

Jackson's halftime lead slipped away in a 42-21 loss to Eastern but Towns was great again with 177 yards rushing and a touchdown, including a 61-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play of the game.

Wall's Casey Larkin

Wall crushed Mater Dei Prep, 42-0, in the Shore Conference Championship Pod semifinals and this long run by Larkin provided the knockout blow. The Crimson Knights were leading, 21-0, but a Mater Dei punt had pinned them at their own 5-yard line. On the first play of the drive, Larkin broke free for a 93-yard gain down to the 2-yard line that set up Wall's fourth touchdown.

Donovan Catholic's Evyn Menta and Jayon Farrar

Donovan Catholic defeated Red Bank Catholic, 28-14, for a breakthrough victory in the Shore Conference Championship Pod semifinals and this long touchdown was the play that sealed it. The Griffins were leading 20-14 and had just stopped the Caseys on fourth down at midfield. On the next play, Menta hit Farrar for a long touchdown to send Donovan on its way to victory.
