Bergen Catholic 35 St. Peter’s Prep 10 | Non-Public “A” Semifinal

The Crusaders are that much closer to cementing their 2021 legacy. A trio of touchdowns from Notre Dame QB commit Steve Angeli (two rushing, one passing) led Bergen Catholic (11-0) to another impressive win over a fellow North Jersey power. Princeton-bound running back Ryan Butler made program history while the Crusaders’ defense grabbed three interceptions to stop St. Peter’s Prep (8-4). The win sets up a massive showdown in the Non-Public “A” final between Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep.

Jefferson Township 28 Rutherford 7 | North 2 Group 2 Final

Erik Garv threw three touchdown passes coming in after an injury to starting quarterback Peter Delaportas to lead the Falcons to its first sectional title in 2008. Rutherford scored on the opening drive and Delaportas suffered a shoulder injury late in the first quarter. Garv, who was the starting QB last year at Jefferson, came on in relief and threw two second-quarter touchdowns to Travis Osterhout to give Jefferson a 14-7 lead at the half. Theo Fisher and Jason Eisele added fourth-quarter TD’s to give the #6 seed an improbable title. Jefferson will face unbeaten Caldwell on Nov. 27 at 11 am at MetLife Stadium.
