In Overbrook's most recent conquest, a 28-6 victory at Maple Shade, Conquest had his first signature game of the season. The senior went 23 of 36 for 337 yards and 2 touchdown passes, while also pitching in with 6 yards on the ground. Conquest and the Rams look to keep it going next week on the road at Audubon.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6512edfcda1d6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["918873"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"All the way up north is where Deprima of Ramapo is getting his work done in a sneakily efficient and quiet manner.
