Who says “You can’t go back again?”
Not Phillipsburg.
For the third year in a row, the Stateliners will play for a state title – and try to finish their “unfinished business” after falling in their last two trips – after the top-seed in North 2, Group 4 beat 5th-seed Chatham at home Friday night, 31-14.
The Stateliners were in control most of the way. All four Phillipsburg touchdowns came on the ground, two from Jett Genovese, and one each from Sam Dech and Felix Matos, while Alexie Moreira also kicked a field goal in the win.
Next up for the Stateliners will be Northern Highlands at Maloney Stadium Friday for the North 2, Group 4 title. The third-seeded Highlanders (6-4) knocked off previously unbeaten second-seed Woodbridge on the road Friday night, 26-7, ending the Barrons’ season at 10-0.
