Seaview Orthopaedics Friday Football Scoreboard, 10/28/16
Results from Friday's Week 8 Shore Conference football action.
CLASS A SOUTH
No. 1 Toms River North 55, Toms River South 13
Senior quarterback Mike Hunsi threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 80 yards and two more touchdowns to set multiple records and lead the top-ranked Mariners (8-0, 6-0) past the rival Indians (2-5, 2-4) in "The Civil War".
Husni threw touchdown passes to senior wide receivers Bryce Watts and Darrion Carrington, had a 12-yard touchdown run and a 27-yard touchdown run. Watts finished with four catches for 124 yards. Senior running back Parker Day ran for 129 yards and three touchdowns. Freshman Nasir Calhoun added a rushing touchdown.
Sam Conover and Cooper Guzzi had rushing touchdowns for Toms River South.
Husni needed 54 yards rushing to become the first player in Shore Conference history to have 1,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in three straight seasons, and accomplished that by running for 80 yards. In throwing his 19th and 20th touchdown passes of the season he broke Anthony Penna's program single-season record. He also became Toms River North's all-time leader in touchdowns with 97.
Central 21, No. 9 Brick 7
Senior running back Mike Bickford ran for 288 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries to become the Golden Eagles' all-time leading rusher and lead the way in a crucial victory over the Dragons (5-3, 4-2).
Bickford scored on touchdown runs of 23 and 7 yards in the first half en route to breaking the record formerly held by Kalyph Hardy. Senior Denis Corbin added a 2-yard touchdown run and freshman Kavon Chambers ran for 41 yards. Central's defense was also tremendous in holding a Brick offense that entered averaging 31 points per game to one touchdown and 140 total yards.
Brick was without star senior Ja'Sir Taylor, however. The Temple recruit took a big hit on the opening kickoff, walked off slowly and did not return to the game. Rashon McCall ran for 76 yards and scored on a 7-yard run for Brick.
The win puts Central at 7-1 and 6-0 in Class A South to set up a winner-take-all game for the division title next week against No. 1 Toms River North.
