Don’t look now, but Hanover Park is rolling. Undefeated after the first 5 games of 2024, Hanover Park has been dominating on each side of the ball so far, and that trend continued in Week 5 against Pequannock. In the one sided 41-9 win, Hanover Park held undefeated Pequannock’s offense to only one touchdown. Shutting them down on all fronts, Hanover Park’s Azaad Parks Azaad Parks 5'8" | 200 lbs | DL Hanover Park | 2027 NJ in particular played a huge part in keeping Pequannock’s passing offense at bay. Azaad was able to get to the opposing QB 3 times, increasing his total for the year to 5.

Azaad is a young defensive end that is only going to get better with time. With his height and speed, I could see Azaad shifting more into an OLB position in the future. Until then, I am sure he will continue finding his way into the backfield to apply pressure to opposing QBs.
