Northern Highlands football survives behind backup's career game

ALLENDALE – Michael Strandes is making the most of his opportunities. The Northern Highlands backup running back hasn’t had many carries this season. But lately, the junior has been making every touch count, emerging as a key contributor during the Highlanders’ late-season surge. With Northern Highlands embracing a next-man-up mentality all season, Strandes' career performance and a goal-line defensive stand in the closing seconds helped the Highlanders, No. 3 in the latest North Jersey Public Super 20 rankings , edge Morris Knolls, 28-27, in a North 1, Group 4 semifinal on Nov. 6 at Northern Highlands High School. Thrust into an expanded role after starting running back Tucker Kanning exited in the second quarter with a shoulder injury, Strandes answered the call. The junior rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown in the second half, finishing with a career-high 148 yards as Northern Highlands advanced to its seventh straight sectional final. “My guys believed in me. At halftime we saw that Tucker [Kanning] wasn’t coming back. Woodsy [Jack Woods] came up to me in the locker room and said ‘yo, Mike, we got you,’” Strandes said. “I ran with confidence tonight and I stepped up. I’ve been preparing for this

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
