Rumson Fair Haven Football and Wall played for the NJSIAA Tournament final round Central Jersey group 2 on Friday November 15th under the lights. Both teams have the fire power on their roster with great talent and a fantastic coaching staff. Rumson hasn't lost a game all season while Wall had 1 loss coming into this matchup. This game could go either way but the key to a victory is who can stop the offense. One of the top matches on highschool football schedule in my opinion between these two teams.
The Bull Dogs got off to a fast start against Wall by putting pressure on their defense right away. Rumson dominated the first quarter as they scored 14 points as a team with the defense feeding off from that and having momentum. Wall had trouble stopping quarterback Owen 0'Toole early with him doing a great job of keeping their defense off balance and confused. In the second quarter, Wall was still struggling on defense but were able to get on the board with a touchdown to get some confidence back. At halftime Rumson had a 24-7 lead with a outstanding performance on offense and defense.
Both defenses were fantastic in the third quarter as no one scored from each side. Their halftime adjustments payed off in a big way but Wall didn't really take advantage of it on offense. The goal for them was to get some momentum back and make this game more interesting. Rumson just kept on playing their game and focused on one thing as a team. Wall did cut the lead to 24-14 in fourth quarter at one point and trying to make one last run. The Bull Dogs scored twice in last quarter to extend their lead to 38-14 which was too much for Wall to overcome.
Rumson Fair Haven Bull Dogs ended up getting a dominant victory over Wall and going to the NJSIAA Group Tournament, Semifinal Round, Group 2. They will now face Point Pleasant Boro on Friday November 22nd at 7:00 Pm Eastern. The Bull Dogs had some big contributions in this game and help them to get this wine over Wall. Congrats to Rumson Fair Heaven, well deserved, played great team football and had a fantastic game plan put together against Wall.
Congrats to the Bull Dogs, their players, coaching staff and good luck to them rest of the way.
