Spoke to Ridge High coach Tony Mottola tonight. He informed me that running back Keegan Conway was seriously injured during a tackling drill in practice recently. Conway suffered several broken vertebra, but thank goodness -- Keegan's ok. In fact, there's a chance he'll be able to come back and play lacrosse in the spring.
Ridge opens Sept. 14 against Immaculata, so the Red Devils have two scrimmages left -- one with South Plainfield Friday night, then next Thursday with Hun.
I'll have some more information on Ridge tomorrow.
Dunellen junior tailback Ricky Fiorito, who gained 900 yards last year, broke his ankle and may be back late in the season, according to Dunellen coach Dave DeNapoli.
Plainfield is working hard for first-year head coach Reggie Robinson. Dropped by practice Wednesday afternoon, and the Cardinals looked sharp. Robinson hasn't named his starting quarterback yet -- the Cardinals have three that are looking to win the job. Robinson said that four different backs will share the load.
Robinson is hoping to boost the offensive production for a team that went 1-9 last year. The Cardinals scrimmage at Teneack Saturday night and will likely be in the house at Elizabeth's Williams Field when Elizabeth has a scrimmage with Don Bosco.
More on Reggie tomorrow.
I know this isn't football related, but Max Newell has been hired as the new baseball coach at Bridgewater-Raritan. He takes over for Scott Bray, who resigned when he was hired as the Panthers' head football coach.
