* Pompton Lakes senior QB Kevin Cotter completed 15 of 21 passes for 203 yards and five TDs to lead his team over New Milford and keep the Cardinals unbeaten (3-0).
* Rutherford’s defense continued to dominate, yielding just one touchdown against Garfield. The undefeated Bulldogs have outscored their opponents, 155-30.
* Waldwick/Midland Park again displayed its formidable running game in its big win over Glen Rock. Senior FB Matt Messner rushed for 212 yards on 21 carries. Junior RB Sonny DiPasquale ran for two TDs.
