Saturday saw a light schedule in the Big Central Conference, with just three teams in action in two games, and only one of them in New Jersey.
Dayton’s best start in a long time…
Dayton ran past South River, 42-7, in Union County Saturday afternoon, moving the Bulldogs to 3-1. It’s their best start in 14 years, since they went 3-1 to begin 2011, dropping the season opener to New Providence, but winning their next three games over Bound Brook, Brearley, and Roselle Park.
That was Year Six under Joe Goerge, who resurrected the Dayton varsity program in 2006, and followed a 2009 season that was their best, at 9-2. The 2011 team went 5-5. Dayton will visit Belvidere (2-3) next Friday night.
South River drops to 0-5 and will host Delaware Valley (3-2) next Saturday.
Plainfield drops game out of state…
The Cardinals fell to Haverford (PA) 4-25 on the road Saturday afternoon, dropping them to 2-3 on the season. They’re back in action at Hub Stine Field next Friday night when Franklin (3-2) comes to town. The Warriors are fresh off a thrilling 33-28 win at Edison where junior quarterback Jah’naad Cady scored from seven yards out as time expired to pull off the win.
