Phillipsburg football rocks East Orange to reach fifth straight final

This article was updated with more information. EAST ORANGE – The Phillipsburg High School football team used some razzle and dazzle but mostly stuck to its go-to formula — power running and stout defense — in a 31-13 win over East Orange in the NJSIAA North 2 Group 5 semifinals at Paul Robeson Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 7. The third-seeded Stateliners will host next week’s sectional final Friday night against No. 4-seeded Passaic Tech, which upset top-seeded Elizabeth 35-0 in the other semifinal. Phillipsburg (8-2) seeks its third consecutive title and is playing in its fifth straight sectional final. The Liners got there behind three Shane Moore touchdown runs of 6, 1 and 38 yards as P’burg opened a 21-6 lead at halftime. “Just overall, a great effort for our guys,” Phillipsburg coach Frank Duffy said. “I said run the football, make the quarterback uncomfortable and be great in special teams. Do something special. We did that. That was the recipe for success today.” Old Bridge football forces 5 turnovers, shuts out Williamstown 35-0 Football playoff roundup for Big Central Conference, local Central NJ Duffy said it was important to establish the run game early and to take East Orange
