Old Tappan 27 Ramapo 21 | Super Football Conference
Alex Orecchio put on an absolute show Friday night as the Golden Knights won a revenge game over the Raiders. Orecchio accounted for three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) and snagged a pair of red-zone interceptions in a statement win for Old Tappan (4-0.) Ramapo (0-3) is off to its slowest start in 17 years, when they opened the 2007 season with three straight losses. QB Casey Grusser tallied three touchdowns in the loss Friday night. Old Tappan’s lone regular season loss last year was to Ramapo, so a win Friday flips the script for this season.
