Mike Romanella, Bound Brook's junior quarterback, transfers over from New London High School in Connecticut.
Romanella played for Jack Cochran, who was in the news last year regarding a blowout rule in Connecticut. In 2005, New London, coached by Cochran, beat Griswold High 90-0 and won four games by 50 or more points. In Connecticut, teams are prohibited from beating their opponents by more than 50 points.
It's widely believed that the rule by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference was directed at Cochran, who is still at New London. New London would be a larger Group I school in New Jersey.
"New London went 9-2 two years ago and 7-3 last year," said Romanella, who started most of last year's game for New London before being hurt. "New London would be a small school in New Jersey, but they'd be pretty powerful.
"My freshman and sophomore years we didn't have a guy who was 6-foot to throw to. Just this year we had a tight end transfer in who was 6-foot-2," Romanella said. "We never had any targets who could jump, run and catch like these guys (Deven Baker and Erron Banks). These guys are unbelievable down there. They are great passing targets."
Romanella said he would rather pass than run the ball.
"I just like to sit back there and pass," Romanell said. "If I have to run I'll run. I'm not slow."
Pretty interesting article in the Wall Street Journal last week about how more and more coaches are using film to practice to combat new regulations in using shorter practice time.

This is just inaccurate reporting. Mike was benched at New London due to sucking at quarterback and now thinks that he can trick every one into thinking he's good by playing in the cupcake conference of New Jersey. What a joke.
He sucks so much he went to school at Fitch as a freshman and was the backup. He had a horrible attitude towards his lineman. He thinks he is all that and he is not. He went to New London because he got beat up at fitch. He played a few games at New London. But he was replaced with Sophomore QB Jordan Reed. He is a junior like Mike and he led them to a second place finish in the state title game. Reed is a lot like Vince Young and this year NL has some of the best wr's in the state. Mike must have been hit hard because he has no idea what he is talking about.
backup on the freshman team
Actually, he led the state of New Jersey in passing yards and touchdowns passes in 2007 despite suffering a shoulder separation. Tom Luginbill of ESPN.com recently completed an evaluation of Romanella, comparing him to former Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerfel. So, maybe you guys are just haters.
