No. 7 Jackson Memorial 20, No. 9 Manalapan 13 (OT) - Game Story
Junior quarterback Dennis Caswell threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to senior receiver Frank Castellano in overtime, then senior cornerback Ryan Jagodzinski forced a fumble at the goal line that linebacker Ethan Kalinauskas recovered to clinch a wild victory for the Jaguars in their season-opener.
A 4-yard touchdown run by senior fullback Brandon Bigelow gave Jackson a 13-10 lead with 6:39 left, but a penalty on the extra point pushed the attempt back five yards the kick was unsuccessful. Manalapan then drove to Jackson's 33-yard line after a great 28-yard catch by junior wideout Jackson Pfister. Jackson senior defensive end Sean Hubbard then went to work to help push Manalapan back with two sacks and a tackle for loss on the next four plays.
Those negative plays and a penalty combined to bring up fourth and 28 for Manalapan from its own 49-yard line. Junior quarterback Ryan Dougherty then launched a Hail Mary that senior tight end Joseph Melo caught for a 44-yard gain down to the Jackson 7-yard line. Jackson's defense dug in to force a 25-yard field goal attempt that senior Jake Horowitz converted to tie the score at 13 with 1:04 left in regulation.
After gaining one first down in overtime, Caswell dropped back and connected with Castellano for the go-ahead touchdown. Joe Muzzillo added the extra point for a 20-13 lead. Manalapan quickly moved inside Jackson's 5-yard line when Melo caught a 22-yard pass from Dougherty down to the 3-yard line, setting up the final play where Jackson forced a turnover to end the game.
The game was scoreless at halftime and into the third quarter before Manalapan took a 7-0 lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by junior running back Jason Rodriguez, capping a 13-play drive that chewed 7:04 off the clock. Jackson responded immediately on a 13-yard touchdown run by sophomore Jonah Glenn that was set up by his 40-yard run on the first play of the drive.
Manalapan took a 10-7 lead on a 22-yard field goal by Horowitz in the fourth quarter before Jackson took the lead on Bigelow's touchdown run.
