The Hillside Comets are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game this season. they challenge the Bernards Mountaineers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
While Comets fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They put the hurt on Snyder with a sharp 42-20 victory on Friday. Given the Comets' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey football rankings (they are ranked 83rd, while the Tigers are ranked 234th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Bernards took their contest on the road on Thursday with ease, bagging a 35-6 win over Monmouth Regional.
Things could have been worse for Hillside, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 28-12 loss to Bernards in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Thankfully for Hillside, Connor Laverty (who rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 117 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
