Edison knew it was a better team than the one that started the season 1-3.
Riding high off an impressive win — and fueled by a revamped run game — the Eagles are eager to prove it.
Edison (2-3) looks to return to .500 in a Friday home battle with No. 9 Colonia, the fourth Eagles’ opponent in their first six games to appear in the Central Jersey Sports Radio Top 10 this season.
You can hear the Bellamy & Son Paving “Big Central Game of the Week” at 7pm on Central Jersey Sports Radio, with the pregame set for 6:45. Justin Sontupe and Dom Savino will call the action, click here to listen.
Last time out, Edison handled Franklin, 27-13, behind senior RB Nykier Eato’s first career 200-yard performance. The 3-year starter accounted for 237 of the Eagles’ 390 rushing yards — a gaudy total that’s emblematic of the team’s recent emphasis on its rushing attack.
As the Eagles look to make a second-half push towards the postseason, they’ll also have the benefit of friendly environments. Edison will play in its home township for the entire final month of the regular season, with three home games and one road tilt at crosstown St. Thomas Aquinas still remaining.
