The Hackensack Comets will challenge the Ramapo Raiders at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hackensack is out to stop a three-game streak of losses at home.
Hackensack's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Ridgewood last Friday. They took an 18-0 bruising from the Maroons. While losing is never fun, the Comets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey football rankings (they are ranked 159th, while the Maroons are ranked 36th).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ramapo). They strolled past Wayne Valley with points to spare on Thursday, taking the game 45-29. Winning may never get old, but the Raiders sure are getting used to it with their third in a row.
Ramapo's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Salvatore Livoti led the charge by picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. Livoti got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 59 yards. Charlie Wingfield was in the mix as well, providing Ramapo with a touchdown.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Ramapo was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 241 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Hackensack's defeat dropped their record down to 2-4. As for Ramapo, the win got them back to even at 3-3.
Hackensack was dealt a bruising 48-0 loss at the hands of Ramapo in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Hackensack, Landon De Prima (who threw for 278 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
