The New Jersey high school football season has reached the end of its first full month, with a few surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a mega matchup took place between powerhouses Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco. The Ironmen of Bosco beat Bergen Catholic 14-9, scoring a win over their rival for the first time after BC won four straight. DB leads the all-time series 43-38-2, while Bergen Catholic had its 28 game winning streak snapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Essex County action, a lot of teams were unable to light the scoreboard. First, East Orange squeezed Orange 47-0 in a tough loss for the Tornadoes, who are still looking for their first win of the season. Orange will have a chance to do so against Central High in their annual homecoming game this Friday night at Bell Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there was the game between Weequahic and West Side. It was a rivalry game that saw the Indians from Newark\u2019s South Side beat the Rough Riders 24-0. In the end, both teams lost, as a brawl led to the schools being barred from postseason play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Cedar Grove blanked Newark Collegiate 48-0, while West Orange topped Barringer 39-0. Irvington defeating Columbia, but at least CHS scored in a 40-7 loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the pros, the New York Giants got their first win of the season and in the career of rookie QB Jaxson Dart thanks to an upset 21-18 win over the Chargers at MetLife Stadium. Among the highlights was a 1st quarter TD run by Dart to put the Giants up early. The celebration was short lived, as WR Malik Nabers was lost for the year with a torn ACL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the other local team, the New York Jets went down to Florida and got dumped by the Dolphins 27-21. NY QB Justin Fields scored a touchdown, but has yet to win a game after being down two scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, the Giants will be on the road against the winless New Orleans Saints, while the Jets will host the Cowboys, who are coming off a 40-40 tie against the Packers this past Sunday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
