If Hunterdon Central wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Hillsborough, they should've done a better job of containing Andrew Schwarz. The Raiders put the hurt on the Red Devils with a sharp 33-8 win on Friday with plenty of help from Schwarz, who rushed for 178 yards while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Hillsborough's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 0-4 when he doesn't).

Hillsborough didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Kyle Simonitis. He is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in each of the last three games he's played. Hillsborough received some extra help from Anthony Guerrero, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Hillsborough has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 28.0 points over those games. As for Hunterdon Central, they now have a losing record of 4-5.

As of now, neither Hillsborough nor the Red Devils have any future games scheduled.
