Bergen Tech voted North Jersey Football Team of the Week for Week 4

After four days of voting, Bergen Tech has been selected as the North Jersey Football Team of the Week for Week 4.

The Knights’ visit to Hopatcong ended in a bizarre 14-7 win for their first 3-0 start since they opened 4-0 in 2005 under then-coach Vito Campanile. The Friday night game was shortened to two quarters after wind knocked down a tree that caused a power failure at the field and it became too dark to continue. Seniors Dominick Genario and Nazar Fedorko ran for scores to erase a 7-0 deficit.

Here were the other nominees:

Don Bosco

The Ironmen’s 31-7 win snapped Bergen Catholic’s 17-game winning streak and lifted them to No. 1 in the North Jersey Big Six rankings. Senior Nick Minicucci threw for 153 yards, including 16-yard scores to junior Bobby Mays and sophomore Nolan James, who also ran for 6-yard TD. Junior Logan Bush scored on a 3-yard run to give the Ironmen (3-2) a 21-7 halftime lead.

Ridgewood

The Maroons (4-0) climbed to No. 1 in the North Jersey Public Top 20 rankings with a 12-7 victory over then-No. 1 Passaic Tech. Senior Jack Foerch threw a 10-yard TD pass in the first quarter to senior Brendan Chanley for a 7-0 lead, and junior Matt Schwindt kicked a 24-yard field goal in the third for a 10-0 lead. The Maroons held Passaic Tech to 78 total yards.

River Dell

The Golden Hawks (2-2) enjoyed their first double-digit win of the season, 42-20, over Demarest. They had 444 total yards, including 262 rushing. Senior Andrew Spano ran for 142 yards and two TD. Senior Jake Sconza ran for 106 yards and two TD and passed 14-for-21 for 182 yards, including a 39-yard score to senior Max Froonjian, who also returned a punt for a TD.

Waldwick/Midland Park

The Warriors (4-0) continue to lead the NJIC in average margin of victory following a 45-13 win over Becton. They have outscored opponents, 149-26, for a margin of victory of 30.8 points. Junior Bryce Hamilton scored three TD and kicked a field goal and six extra points. Senior Anthony Marco threw three TD passes, including two to senior Chris Caserta, and ran for a score.

Wayne Valley

The Indians’ 37-7 victory over Wayne Hills marked the program’s most lopsided win over its crosstown rival. Senior Alex Scheuplein ran for 81 yards and two scores and threw for 45 yards, including a 15-yard TD to senior Adam Okun. Senior Danny Smith ran for 107 yards and his third-quarter TD extended the lead to 30-0. The Indians (5-0) registered five sacks.
