After a noteworthy performance against South Plainfield last week – a performance he ran for 113 yards on two carries with a pair of scores and made four catches for 98 yards and two more TDs – Desiderio, a transfer from Bernards, made his case as one of the top running backs in the state and in the area.
When at Bernards, Desidero ran for 369 yards and six TDs in a win over North Plainfield in one game.
Whether he needs to run the ball or make some plays as a receiver, Desiderio knows what he’s capable of on the football field.
Against Rahway, Desiderio scored on runs of 4, 5, 9, 29 and 77 yards.
Somerville improved to 2-0 and has now outscored opponents 96-24 through two games.
The Pioneers look to stay undefeated when they take on Warren Hills Friday night.
