The win capped a solid 7-2-1 season for the JV Wolves.
“We just played hard,” said defensive end Wesley Thomp-son. “We wanted to win. We had a lot of talent. We beat some good teams. It was a good season.”
“We played like a team,” said linebacker Matt Murray. “Everybody stuck together. We played hard and didn’t give up.”
Head coach Fred Dalrymple said the JV Wolves started off strong then had a two-game lapse but they bounced back and with a big win.
“We got our confidence back,” Dalrymple said. “We wanted to finish on a winning note. (Against East Rutherford) Offensively, we did everything well. The line
blocked, the backs ran hard, the passing game was exceptional. On defense, we tackled well and played our positions well. I’m very proud of the team.”
