The Hunterdon Central Red Devils will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Newark Central Blue Devils at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Hunterdon Central is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They came up short against Passaic County Tech two weeks ago, falling 20-0.
Meanwhile, Newark Central put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They were the clear victors by a 28-6 margin over Columbia. The Blue Devils' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.
Newark Central found their leader in sophomore Taylor Jones, who rushed for 143 yards and a pair of TDs on only 13 carries, and also threw for 143 yards and one touchdown.
On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Newark Central's defense and their five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Aishat Hassan and Zaniyah Dixon, who racked up all five sacks between them.
