Game of the week and some other things..

This week's game of the week is: Belvidere (4-0) at Bound Brook (3-1) LaMonte Field at 7 p.m. It can't be the big boys every week.

It's worth the trip if you're not doing much -- Immaculata at Warren Hills, Bridgewater-Raritan at Hunterdon Central? -- c'mon, give the little schools some love.

Belvidere has rolled through Kearny, South Hunterdon, Bernards and Hackettstown, scoring 41. 5 points per game.

If you want to see one of the better Group 1 teams in the state -- that would be the County Seaters, coached by former Somerville head coach Larry Dubiel.

Belvidere beat Bound Brook 49-12 last year. The Crusaders scored on a long interception return by Chris Jeskie and a long kickoff return by Deven Baker. Baker's return came long after the game was decided in the second half.

The Crusaders are trying to claw their way back into the Central Jersey Group I race after a 28-26 loss to North Warren a few weeks ago. Kevin Carty, the Bound Brook coach, believes that if Bound Brook loses to Belvidere AND North Warren again, the Crusaders might not be returning to the CJ Group I playoffs.

Right now, the Crusaders are sixth in the playoff hunt. We'll have more on the game in Friday's paper.

Nice job by Ridge, which knocked off Warren Hills 25-6 last Friday night for its first win. Quarterback Ryan McGuirl threw for 234 yards and two touchdown and ran th eball 12 times for 84 yards and a touchdown. Great night. I overlooked Ryan's contributions in Monday's paper.

My colleague Jerry Carino and I will be recording our podcast Wednesday afternoon. hopefully, it'll be up on our website sometime Thursday afternoon.

GO NAZARETH
