Scotch Plains-Fanwood scored early and often Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium, as the Raiders won a Big Central Conference crossover game 42-0 at New Brunswick.

After a scoreless first quarter, Jaden Richards got SPF on the board first with a six-yard touchdown run with 10:08 to go in the second quarter. Less than four game minutes later, he broke a 50-yarder, taking it all the way to paydirt, to give the Raiders a 14-0 lead.

T.J. Raspberry punched in one more score from three yards out with 13 seconds to go in the half to make it 21-0 going into the locker room.

   

And on it went in the second half, with the running clock starting after the Raiders’ second score of the half – another TD run by Raspberry – with Scotch Plains tacking on one more to win it 42-0.

It was the first win as head coach for Shawn Johnson at his alma mater, where he was a standout on the gridiron. He also has coached the Scotch Plains-Fanwood PAL youth team, leading them to a Super Bowl victory, and retired last year as a juvenile detective as a sergeant, spending 25 years with the department.
