SPORTS WRAP
BY WILLIAM HATHAWAY, JR.
New Jersey high school football just wrapped Week 6, with two more weeks in the regular season. The Weequahic Indians are still undefeated this year under head coach Brian Logan, after trouncing Boonton 63-0. Leading Weequahic was Paul Jones with 250 yards passing and four touchdowns, which went to Rashawn Marshall, Elijah Motley, Leroy Singleton and Darrel Barrow. Marshall had 130 yards on the ground for the 6-0 Indians.
West Orange struggled out the gate, but has now improved to a 3-3 record after beating a stunningly poor 1-5 East Orange team 29-6. Charlie LaMorte led West Orange on 11-18 passing for 176 yards and Rayel Hunter added 100 yards. In the first quarter, Terrell Willfong caught a 15 yard TD pass from Lamorte and running back Adonis White had a 20 yard TD run in the game.
East orange was led by Kyree Fisher on 14-22 passing for 196 yards. Corey Woolridge ran it in for the lone EO TD in the game.
In other action, the Irvington Knights defeated Montclair 27-0 on the road.
In the pro game, the Jets got justice for offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, after a surprising 31-21 win in Denver. Gang Green got contributions from special teams and its defense, along with a long TD run from Breece Hall for the win. The game was after New York forced a Russell Wilson fumble and ran it in for a TD.
The reason why the win was so special is that Broncos head coach Sean Payton criticized Hackett, who was the former Denver coach from last year. Many thought the comments were unmerited, including Aaron Rodgers. Earlier this year, Denver got ran out of Miami 70-20 in the most points scored in a regular season game since 1966.
Speaking of Miami, the Dolphins got over a loss to Buffalo and beat the NY Giants 31-16. In the loss, Giants QB Daniel Jones suffered some kind of neck injury.
