Preview: Wood-Ridge vs. Weehawken
Weehawken will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Wood-Ridge at 7:00 PM. Weehawken is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.
Weehawken had to kick off their season on the road last Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. They managed a somewhat close 40-36 win over Wallington. The score was all tied up at the break, but Weehawken was the better team in the second half.
Meanwhile, Wood-Ridge couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They lost to Park Ridge by a decisive 0-20 margin. The matchup was a 0-0 toss-up at halftime, but Wood-Ridge was outplayed the rest of the way.
Weehawken's victory lifted them to 1-0 while Wood-Ridge's loss dropped them down to 0-1. In their victory, Weehawken relied heavily on senior Rex Fukuda, who rushed for 176 yards and 4 touchdowns; a key strategy for Wood-Ridge will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
