Belvidere rolls

What a great place Belvidere is to watch a football game. The County Seaters had a big homecoming crowd along for the ride as they pounded Bound Brook 49-12 Friday night to take the lead in the Skyland Conference Valley Division race. Bound Brook is clearly improved and it should finish its eight-game playoff qualification period with a 7-1 record to grab its first Central Jersey Group I playoff berth since 1978. But the Crusaders have to get stronger if they are to continue their improvement. The Brook didn't run the ball well Friday night. They did play for the second straight week without their top running back Eduardo Rosario, who's been out with an ankle injury. That hurt. The Crusaders scored on Chris Jeskie's 78-yard return of an interception and Deven Baker's 83-yard kickoff return when the game was long decided.
