Ramapo Repeats as Section Champs with Freshman Heroics
The North 1 Group 3 boys soccer final gave us excitement and drama. Check out all the highlights and post-match reaction of Ramapo and Tenafly. With just 10 minutes remaining, Owen O’Connell broke the scoreless deadlock to put Ramapo in front 1-0. But the drama wasn’t over.
