The first Big Central Conference team won reach the NJSIAA’s state finals in football – just three years into playing down to group champions – came up short Wednesday night.
Phillipsburg lost to Winslow Twp. 35-0 at Rutgers University’s SHI Stadium in Piscataway, ending its season at 11-2.
But as Mike Pavlichko and Dom Savino – who called the game on Central Jersey Sports Radio – point out, there’s much to be proud of for the Stateliners, who in the last three years beat arch-rival Easton twice on Thanksgiving, and this year brought home an elusive sectional title, winning a thriller over Northern Highlands to take the North 2, Group 4 championship.
