NORTH JERSEY INTERSCHOLASTIC CONFERENCE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Michael Colaneri, Hasbrouck Heights, So., LB
Colaneri was a menace for the Aviators in their 33-0 win over Saddle Brook on Friday in Hasbrouck Heights. The sophomore compiled 17 tackles (four solo), five tackles for loss, four sacks and an interception as part of a shutout effort for the Aviators’ defense. Colaneri now has 59 tackles (15 solo), six tackles for loss, five sacks and two takeaways on the season.
Jake Lewin, Cresskill-Emerson Boro, Jr., QB
Lewin put together a difference-making performance in a close win for the Cresskill-Emerson Boro program on Friday night. The junior quarterback threw for 253 yards and three touchdowns while completing 11-of-13 passes in a 27-21 win over Manchester Regional. He also rushed for 23 yards on five carries in what was a career-high day.
Kobe St. Hilaire, New Milford, Jr., RB
The former Don Bosco Prep and St. Joseph (Mont.) product had to sit for four games due to the NJSIAA’s transfer rules for two-time transfers, but his presence has been well worth the wait for the Knights. St. Hilaire rumbled for 229 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries in his season debut to lift New Milford to a 28-21 road win over Hawthorne on Friday. Three of the scores came in the first half for St. Hilaire.
