Indian Hills kept up with North Bergen until halftime on Friday, but afterwards: not so much. The Bruins were the clear victors by a 24-3 margin over the Braves. The Bruins might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 20 points or more this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead North Bergen to victory, but perhaps none more so than Alexier Deleon, who rushed for 127 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only nine carries. Deleon also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up two sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making eight total tackles (3.0 for loss). Dom Valazquez was another key player, rushing for 90 yards and one score.

North Bergen's run defense was locked in: Indian Hills could only muster 1.2 yards per carry. The team can thank George Tamer for the heroic effort on defense: he. North Bergen didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.9.

North Bergen's defense didn't let the opposing QB, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Indian Hills' QB won't forget Deleon anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Another thorn in the Braves' side was Tamer, who made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

North Bergen's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 10.0 points on average over those games. As for Indian Hills, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-3.

Looking ahead, North Bergen will head out on the road to take on Ferris at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Bruins will be up against the Bulldogs' rather soft defense (which has allowed 31 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Indian Hills, they didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 13-7 loss against Ridgefield Park on the 17th.
