Garfield fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game on Friday as the odds are decidedly against them. They will square off against Rahway on the road at 6 p.m. ET. Both teams have allowed few points on average (Garfield 18, Rahway 11), so any points scored will be well earned.
The Boilermakers didn't have too much breathing room in their game with Hawthorne last Friday, but they still walked away with a 21-16 win. Garfield can attribute much of their success to Zachary Cook, who rushed for 77 yards and one TD on four carries. Cook didn't help his team much against Pompton Lakes two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Meanwhile, Rahway was close but no cigar as they fell 9-7 to St. Joseph. Rahway got a solid performance out of Rashon Bradford, who picked up 75 yards on the ground on 11 carries and caught three passes for 84 yards; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory.
Garfield's victory lifted them to 6-2 while Rahway's loss dropped them down to 6-2. We'll see if Garfield's success rolls on or if the Indians are able to steal their positive momentum.
