Well, just so everybody knows -- our newspaper has gone through quite a bit recently, so if you don't see the score of your school's game in the paper, you probably will see it Sunday. Our deadlines have been pushed up some, so we've been pushing it a bit and getting used to the new working relationship with our friends at the Home News and Tribune. We'll be better for it.
I was at the Watchung Hills-Montgomery game Friday night and it's pretty clear that Cougar senior quarterback Kevin Watson knows what he's doing. The Cougars won in a 38-3 rout. Watchung Hills scored first on Jim Morrow's field goal, but the Warriors should have gotten at least six -- but -- the Montgomery defense wouldn't let it and sacked Jeff Janoski.
Watson threw for 215 yards with no interceptions. Chris Garcia, J.T. Tartacoff and the unheralded Andy Singley had very good games. Garcia and Tartacoff had a couple of touchdowns each and Singley was very effective in short yardage spots.
Montgomery's defense was also very good. A very impressive opener for the Cougars.
Now, for Watchung Hills. First off, senior defensive back Brian Macellara didn't play because of a high ankle sprain. That didn't help Watchung Hills' pass coverage.
We have mentioned in several articles that the Warriors would miss the graduated tight end Matt Hunt and quarterback Joe Giaimo and halfback Rob Ritter. But what we haven't mentioned is how much the Warriors would miss the graduated linemen Matt Crystal and Ron Quacquarini. It showed Friday night. Quarterbacks Janoski and Kevin Scholato were under pressure throughout the game.
That's it for now. It's late.
Oh, Nazareth lost to Parkland Friday night. Miss you guys.
