Incredible = Larson went from 1st to 11th to 1st in LESS THAN ONE LAP. That’s some Earnhardt-level 😵 right there. 🏁
KYLE LARSON WINS AT TALLADEGA! What an incredible final lap.

Let’s just skip the inevitable & get it over with right now. Congratulations to @PHathletics alum Jeff Hafley on getting his first career NFL coaching win a mere 20 miles from his hometown of Montvale, NJ. Just wish it could’ve been against the other MetLife denizens 😢
Bobby Slowik has dogwalked Aaron Glenn this half. Probably the worst defensive gameplan half of the season, and the players themselves have not helped either.

#SFCfootball REMINDER: If St. Joe’s wins this game, and then Paramus Catholic beats SJ next week… the *entire* United Red Division will finish 2-2 against each other. Truly, I have no rooting interest. Except when it comes to stuff like this. #MaximumChaos 🤪
Halftime… St. Joes 7 Bergen Catholic 0 Green Knights defense with 3 picks.

The picture that told the story was 6-7, 295lb LT Olu Olubobola picking up 5-8, 150lb K Bradley Abraham as the @SPPFootball FG-kicking hero was being asked to do an on-camera interview. To win at “big boy” #SFCfootball, it takes all sizes… northjersey.com/story/sports…

#SFCfootball halftime: Don Bosco 3, St. Peter’s 2 It’s #WorldSeries night, so why not. Marauders open with a 2-run double, Ironmen answer with a 3-run HR. SPP started lefty Bryant Isaac Jr. but has gone to the ’pen for RHQB Zack Karelis. DB sticking w/starter Carson Schoen

#SFCfootball 4:02 left 2nd quarter: St. Peter’s 2, Don Bosco 0 DB fair caught a punt at its own 3, then went 3/out, then punt snap sailed thru end zone for safety Teams have 4 combined first downs, so it seems a bit fitting

#SFCfootball end 1st quarter: Don Bosco 0, St. Peter’s 0 First few drives were all 3/out. DB finally got going but Tyler Bayani sack forced a fumble that Leroy Wilson just recovered

Don’t see too many dents. They should be OK.

Coverage for @VarsityAces using #SFCfootball Don Bosco will be in white w/maroon numbers St. Peter’s in maroon w/white numbers. That’s right. Using apostrophes. Because that’s how it’s done.

Hellebuyck becomes the fourth player in #NJDevils history to wear 37, all since Pavel Zacha first wore it beginning in 2016. Last worn by Nathan Legare for one game last November.
Connor Hellebuyck will wear no. 37 with the #NJDevils.
