The South River Rams will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Metuchen Bulldogs at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
South River is leaving town to face Metuchen after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. South River was dealt a 28-0 defeat at the hands of Point Pleasant Beach on Saturday. The Rams just can't catch a break and have now endured ten losses in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Metuchen entered their tilt with Middlesex on Thursday with four consecutive wins dating back to last season but they'll enter their next game with five. They walked away with a 14-6 win over the Bluejays. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but the Bulldogs were the (much) better team in the second half.
Metuchen can attribute much of their success to Evan Toth, who rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown.
Toth wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Metuchen was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 208 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 168 rushing yards in five consecutive matches dating back to last season.
South River came up short against Metuchen in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, falling 14-6. Can South River avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
