@FLHSCUTTERS QB @ArielNachmias1 takes the snap in shotgun formation then drops back in the pocket, rolls to his left then spins around and takes off to the right side and slings an 8 yd. TD pass to #LoganWyka putting the Cutters up 6-0 against @WMFBBC in the 2nd quarter 🏈

Christian Yelich - Team standards create culture… which in turn creates winning.
Refreshing to hear Major league players talk like this, and most importantly apply it…

Ask somebody around the league for their best Jameis Winston story, and it's very rarely some silly or hilarious tale.
It's stuff like this.
Here's Giants OC Matt Nagy on "The Schrager Hour", taking us through the day Jameis was benched for JJ McCarthy. @OmahaProd @ESPNNFL

ICYMI, Bergen Catholic wide receiver Anthony Willis delivered a bright spot in the Crusaders 10-7 loss to St. Joe's-Montvale.
Willis made an amazing one-handed touchdown catch from Trey Tagliaferri that landed in the #6 spot on ESPN SportCenter's Top 10 plays 👀
This is the 5th JSZ clip this fall on ESPN and the 15th in our history. You can check out all the highlights of BC and St. Joe's-Montvale at jerseysportszone.com

👀Is this the New Jersey TD of the Year?? DISCUSS!!👀
In a tough loss, Bergen Catholic wide receiver Anthony Willis made his case for TD catch of the year. The University of Delaware commit made this INSANE one handed grab from Trey Tagliaferri for a 7-yard touchdown.
It was the only score of the game for the Crusaders who fell 10-7 to St. Joe's-Montvale. Full coverage coming to JSZ.

I’ll leave you all with this to think about as we await the public seeding:
Many say the product is down in the Big 6. To me, that theory couldn’t be more wrong.
The coaching and game planning are incredible. The talent at all 11 positions is WAY up. It’s just dispersed. Look at the stat lines of the best kids from 2025. Yards and TDs are harder to come by this year.
Had one coach tell me these games are like boxing matchups. He’s not wrong. Everyone has a style.
There’s youth and chaos all over, but this certainly isn’t “mediocre football”. Buckle up for what should be an insane final month. #NJFootball

No. 9 @SJRAthletics1 picked up another signature win in 10-7 fashion over No. 2 Bergen Catholic. It's the first win for SJR over BC in Montvale since 2016. It's also more importantly a win that may go a long way in the wacky Non-Public A ranks. #NJFootball
