Games of the Week: Week 5 Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mt. Olive (5-0) vs. Roxbury (5-0)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>9/29 7pm at Mt. Olive</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two 5-0 teams meet this Friday and only one may prevail. Mt. Olive has been one of the most impressive stories to begin the season, as they have taken down very talented opponents early on. With a close 35-27 win against West Orange last weekend, Mt. Olive looks to continue the momentum against another tough opponent in Roxbury on Friday. The offense of Mt. Olive has been grinding it out on the ground, with junior [player_tooltip player_id='1043545' first='Tyler' last='Cumming'] leading the attack with 8 touchdowns and 488 rushing yards through 5 games. They also have a stout defense with talent at multiple levels. [player_tooltip player_id='1143101' first='Adam' last='DeCristofaro'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1087572' first='Lincoln' last='Youtz'] have been focal points on defense, with Adam totaling 35 tackles, 3 interceptions and a sack, and Lincoln totaling 50 tackles, 3 sacks, and forcing 2 fumbles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roxbury has also started off strong this season, with a highlighted victory against undefeated Warren Hills last weekend. As mentioned in last weeks "Games of the Week", Roxbury's offense runs through quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='220049' first='Anthony' last='Skawinski']. He has tallied up 8 offensive touchdowns and has thrown for 596 yards and ran for 230. A solid defensive unit as well, it's hard not to highlight [player_tooltip player_id='971278' first='Jared' last='Irwin'] when he has intercepted the ball 4 times already and even returned one for a touchdown. Another playmaker on defense, [player_tooltip player_id='220161' first='Matt' last='Rattay'], has played a pivotal role as he has racked up 52 tackles and 2 sacks through 5 games. This game has everything needed to be a great one, so make sure to tune in. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16210406/6511c8e0d21b230b487853c7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6512e3bb85fe9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delbarton (3-1) vs. Paramus Catholic (3-2)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>9/30 1pm at Delbarton</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While neither team is undefeated entering the contest, these are still two of the strongest programs in the state. Delbarton handed it to Clifton with a 44-7 blowout last weekend, while Paramus Catholic will look to bounce back from a 12-28 loss to DePaul. Both teams are explosive offensively, and defensively just as impressive. Delbarton's [player_tooltip player_id='1034472' first='Ryan' last='Trafford'] has been a workhorse from the running back position, rushing for 235 yards and 5 touchdowns through the first 5 games. Delbarton's defense has been delivering so far this year, with [player_tooltip player_id='739691' first='Connor' last='Martin'] playing a big role on the defensive line and [player_tooltip player_id='995369' first='Kyle' last='Checchio'] stepping up in the defensive backfield. Connor has gotten to the quarterback twice this year and has also forced a fumble, while Kyle has racked up 23 total tackles through the first 4 games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Paramus Catholic is arguably the best two loss team in the state. Crew Colon, Paramus Catholic's leader on offense, has been balling out, throwing for 973 yards and 11 touchdowns to only one interception. While we are all familiar with [player_tooltip player_id='220088' first='Kenyon' last='Massey'] at this point as his favorite target, James Dely has been stepping up in a big way as he has brought in 271 yards and two touchdowns. On the ground, [player_tooltip player_id='960397' first='Xavier' last='Williams'] has been dominant with 516 yards and 9 touchdowns. Look for a battle to ensue in Morristown this Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14476592/64eaa9cc4deb260bc08d5ba2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6512e3bb86018"} /-->
