A little controversy in Scotch Plains, Plainf, NPl notes

Eighteen seconds left in the game Friday afternoon between Irvington and Scotch Plains-Fanwood. Irvington has a 36-20 lead. Irvington set up close to the Raiders' goal line.

How about a knee by quarterback Joshua Evans so everybody leaves with a good feeling. No. A two-yard touchdown by Rashon Evans. The Knights then went for two, but the Raiders stopped it short.

Scotch Plains-Fanwood head coach Steve Ciccotelli and his staff weren't happy about head coach Darnell Grant's decision. The Raiders and Knights are both North 2, Group III schools -- so it's possible that the two could meet in the sectional playoffs.

Plainfield's Oreal Douglas scored on a short run in Plainfield's 12-6 loss to Irvington Friday night. The Cardinals are 0-3.

North Plainfield High School's football and cheerleader parent's booster club will hold a fundraiser on Oct. 6 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Vermeule Mansion on Greenbrook Road. There will be food, a disc jockey and door prizes. For more information call Dan Battista at 908-616-3574.

There may also be a special guest. Soprano's star Frank Vincent, who played the role of boss Phil Leotardo, said he will attend barring a professional engagement. Vincent has also starred in "Raging Bull" and "Casino."
