Ciccotelli does a tremendous job tracking the ball as it is airborne. He does so no matter where he lines up in the formation. As a ball carrier in the open field, Ciccotelli profiles a bit more as a one-cut runner who happens to shake off the arm tackles of diving defenders. Ciccotelli clearly makes it a point of emphasis to grab the ball out of mid-air with his hands, nabbing it at its highest point. When a screen his thrown his way, which seemed like a big part of Parsippany Hill’s passing attack, Ciccotelli went and actively attacked the ball to ensure it was his for keeps. Perhaps screens were such a big part of the offensive attack due to Ciccotelli’s vision as runner in the open field? On tape he cuts both with and against the grain en route to big gains. He also possesses enough wiggle to make a man or two miss. Ciccotelli would benefit from sinking his hips when he breaks his routes and resistance training.

Ciccotelli’s name is yet another one that has come up big in recent weeks as his spectacular senior season continues. With the 35-14 victory at Warren Hills, Parsippany Hills extended their record to 5-2, including a 4 game winning stream. In this one Ciccotelli had 7 catches for 190 yards and 3 touchdowns. Ciccotelli has now scored in four straight games and in six games overall; while also having six straight games with 7 receptions or better.

Parsippany Hills finally was able to get a leg up to a 3-2 record on the season. Their star senior receiver, Ciccotelli, was an absolute playmaker in the 35-13 victory against Mendham. Ciccotelli snapped to the tune of 8 catches, 207 yards, and 3 touchdowns. This individual game output raised his season totals to 39 catches, 610 yards, and 7 scores. The 200 yard game last week was Ciccotelli’s first of the season and fourth straight game with 100 or more yards.
