After two thoroughly dominant playoff performances to open its run, Rumson-Fair Haven ran into a dynamic Woodrow Wilson squad in Friday's Central Group III Final.
Jayon Farrar scored three touchdowns and picked off a pass to lead an efficient Donovan Catholic past Red Bank Catholic to put the Griffins in the de facto Shore Conference title game.
St. John Vianney scored on three big plays - one each on offense, defense and special teams - and kept Holmdel in check to win a crosstown rivalry game.
Malik Ingram gutted out 125 yards on the ground and the defense took care of the rest as Mater Dei stymied Red Bank Catholic to make it back to the Non-Public Group 3 championship game.
Led by Logan Peters and Casey Larkin, Wall racked up 300-plus yards on the ground, held St. John Vianney in the red, and clinched at least a share of the Colonial Division title.
