Marauders Have High Hopes With Top-Flight Offense Losing a dominant senior class is never easy, but not many schools in the country are in the same boat as St. Peter’s Prep as they said goodbye to three U.S. Army All-Americans from last year’s squad in Shayne Simon and the Ademilola twins — Justin and Jayson. But by looking at how they practice, you’d never know the Marauders are missing that talent. One of the state’s most dynamic offenses will be docked in Jersey City this year as St. Peter’s Prep sails into 2018 with a host of Division I commits on offense. Quarterback Maasai Mayor (Navy) and wideouts Chase Jones (Wake Forest) and Ayir Asante (Lehigh) have plans to light up the scoreboard all season long. Check out JSZ’s visit with St. Peter’s Prep as they prepare for a third-straight trip to the Non-Public Group IV state title game:   St. Peter’s Prep 2018 Schedule: Friday, Aug. 31 — at Millville Saturday, Sept. 8 — vs. ST.

However, that lead would be demolished in the fourth quarter as the Crusaders would claw their way back to be down by two with under a minute remaining. In the closing seconds Nottingham saw the heroics of seniors Darell Johnson and Cliff Joseph that would knock down free throws to help the Northstars escape an epic come back.
