Matawan

After winning only six games a year ago, Matawan and its sophomore-heavy lineup are moving on in the NJSIAA Tournament with a Wednesday win over Carteret.

St. John Vianney is the new team to beat in the new Class A Central -- a land of opportunity for teams looking for redemption.

Matawan was one of the surprise teams in New Jersey through the first two rounds of the NJSIAA Tournament and Nico Skeete's scoring sparked the Huskies in their round-one upset of Colts Neck.

Matawan rushed for nearly 300 yards to defeat Barnegat, 27-12, and clinch the Shore Conference Liberty Division championship.

After a 1-11-3 season in 2021 and a 1-3 start to the current year, Matawan hit its stride last week with wins over Ocean and Monmouth.

With two power programs joining the ranks, the Class B North division of the Shore Conference is as deep as it has ever been and completely up for grabs.

Matawan has the makings of an imposing defense and depth on both lines. If the Huskies can answer questions at quarterback and running back, they could be primed for a breakout season.
