Week Five in New Jersey high school football kicks off Thursday with games from the Super Football Conference and West Jersey Football League. Enjoy the highlights!
Ramsey 48 Ridgefield Park 34
The Rams have a clear recipe for success so far in 2021 – lean on their massive offensive line and run the ball right at their opponents. On Thursday, it worked again. Ramsey (5-0) rushed for 403 yards and controlled the line of scrimmage to take down Ridgefield Park (3-2). Dual threat QB Danny Veenstra accounted for 289 yards and three touchdowns, Luca Gemma scored three first half touchdowns and Justine Martone tallied 153 rushing yards and two more additional scores.

Overbrook 3 New Egypt 0
The Rams outlasted the Warriors in a defensive battle to remain undefeated on the season. Senior Zack Megara’s 27-yard field goal in the third quarter proved to be the difference in the win for Overbrook (6-0). New Egypt (3-1) got a stellar effort from its defense which forced an interception and produced several red-zone stops throughout the night.
