What to watch: A must-win for Paramus Catholic in order to stay in contention for the Big North-United League championship. The Paladins (5-1) will try to bounce back from a 20-13 loss last week to Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey) that knocked them from the No. 10 ranking to out of the Xcellent 25 altogether. A win Saturday for No. 4 St. Joseph Regional (5-0) would be its eighth in the last 10 meetings against Paramus Catholic and would keep the Green Knights' national-title hopes alive.
Just the facts: SJR quarterback
