Cranford will go up against Phillipsburg in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as the teams both are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Phillipsburg brought a four-game winning streak into their game against North Hunterdon last Friday; they left with a five-game streak. Phillipsburg took the game with ease, bagging a 49-7 win over North Hunterdon. Senior Jack Stagaard and sophomore Matt Quetel were among the main playmakers for Phillipsburg as the former passed for 156 yards and 4 touchdowns and the latter rushed for 88 yards and 1 touchdown on 9 carries. Stagaard has now scored at least one touchdown in the past nine games.
Meanwhile, you can't lose the matchup if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Cranford's strategy against Linden last week. Cranford had enough points to win and then some against Linden, taking their contest 30-12. This was a playoff match, so the win was all the more important for Cranford (and all the more bitter for Linden).
Their wins bumped Phillipsburg to 8-1 and Cranford to 6-3. Last Friday Cranford relied heavily on senior Rob Schork, who rushed for 176 yards and 1 touchdown on 20 carries. It will be up to Phillipsburg's defense to limit his damage on Friday.
