The top-ranked Pioneers got another big effort from tight end-turned-runningback Ethan MacNair, who rushed 22 times for 248 yards and three touchdowns, pacing Somerville to a 43-13 win over Warren Hills Friday night in Washington Township.
Quarterback Matt Miller did not play for the Pioneers (5-1), but Dylan Knapp ran the offense efficiently. He completed his only pass attempt, for 42 yards, and carried 12 times for 65 yards, scoring two touchdowns.
Hashym Hobbs carried four times for 28 yards and had a touchdown.
Somerville can clinch the division title outright with a home win at Brooks Field next Friday night against Summit. That game is the Big Central Game of the Week driven by Mark Montenero and his team at the world-famous Autoland, and can be heard on Central Jersey Sports Radio at 7 pm, with the pregame show at 6:45.
