Friday, Sept. 10

American Division

No. 3 Rumson-Fair Haven 14, No. 2 Donovan Catholic 0

Senior running back Dan Garvey and senior quarterback Colin Kennedy had touchdown runs while the Bulldogs' defense put together another sensational game as Rumson blanked Donovan Catholic in a clash of the titans at Borden Stadium.

Senior linebackers John Lista and Ryan McKay and senior defensive end Aiden Moriarty led the way for a unit that allowed just 125 yards of offense (53 rushing) and eight first downs to record its second consecutive shutout of a top-two team to open the season. RFH has now defeated then-No. 1 Wall and No. 2 Donovan Catholic in consecutive weeks and allowed just 162 yards of offense, nine first downs and zero points.

Garvey's 6-yard touchdown run capped Rumson's opening series, a 10-play 48-yard drive. Kennedy connected with senior tight end Aidan Cassucio for 17 yards on fourth and 3 at the DC 31-yard line to help set up the score.

The game remained 7-0 at halftime after Donovan missed a 27-yard field goal late in the first half. Rumson extended its lead to 14-0 on the opening drive of the third quarter, going 70 yards in just six plays. Kennedy hit sophomore wide receiver Nick Rigby for a 52-yard gain that helped set up Kennedy's 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown.

Rumson's defense made another huge play on the final play of the third quarter when Donovan was facing a fourth and 2 from the Rumson 25-yard line. Moriarty met the ballcarrier in the backfield and Rumson's defense swarmed to force a fumble that Ryan Kalman picked up near midfield.

Colonial Division

No. 6 Southern 21, Jackson Memorial 20

Senior running back Jaiden Brown ran for 139 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, as the Rams (2-0, 1-0) survived a trip to The Jungle against the Jaguars (0-2, 0-1).

Brown's touchdown and the extra point by Jaden Anthony gave Southern a 21-14 lead. Jackson scored in the fourth quarter but could not convert the extra point.

Senior fullback Nate Committee added a 30-yard touchdown run and also caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Nolan Schubiger. Committee ran for 52 yards on nine carries and Schubiger completed 9 of 14 passes for 100 yards and a score.

A 5-yard touchdown run by junior running back Kieran Falzon capped a lightning-quick scoring drive with 1:02 left in the game as the Rockets (1-0, 1-0) rallied for a thrilling victory over the Spartans (0-2, 0-1).

Ocean had taken a 20-17 lead with 3:05 left when junior quarterback Tyler Douglas ran for a 9-yard touchdown and then connected with CJ Flannigan for the 2-point conversion.

Raritan started fast with an 80-yard scoring drive on the game's opening possession. Quarterback Ben Hutchins connected with Joe Campanella for a 12-yard touchdown to give the Rockets a 7-0 lead. The advantage grew to 14-0 when a fumble recovery by Jason Trotta helped set up Falzon's 2-yard touchdown run with 6:52 left in the first half.

Ocean got on the board with 1:15 left in the third quarter when Douglas ran for a 10-yard touchdown. The extra point was no good, however, leaving the score at 14-6. A 25-yard field goal by Jeffrey Spengler pushed Raritan's lead to 17-6 with 7:08 left in regulation before Ocean stormed back to take the lead.

The Spartans answered the field goal immediately as Douglas threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Nick Martinez with 6:48 to play. The 2-point conversion attempt failed and Raritan still held a 17-12 lead. Ocean recovered a fumble at the 45-yard line on the next series and that led to Ocean's go-ahead touchdown and 2-point conversion.

Raritan's game-winning drive took just 1:05 as Campanella returned the kickoff to the Ocean 39-yard line and Hutchins hit Matt Agar for 29 yards down to the 5-yard line to set up Falzon's touchdown run.
