PV Perspective: The Indians come in after a sloppy 35-0 victory over West Milford. The Indians showcased the deep ball against the Highlanders, as quarterback, Colin Dedrick threw for 228 yards and 3 touchdowns on 10 completions. Running back Andrew Flores ran for 82 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 carries. Look for the Indians to run the ball a lot on Friday night as the weather forecast looks not favorable to use the passing attack.
Wayne Hills Lowdown: Wayne Hills comes to Hillsdale with a 4-game winning streak. Going out of state for their first, they beat Graham High School in North Carolina by a score of 53-13. In the three games since, the Patriots have only given up 13 points, while scoring 129. A high octane offense and a very good defense will be a formidable foe for the Indians. Leading the offense is junior quarterback Brendan De Vera, a transfer from St. Joe’s. In 4 games, he has thrown for 487 yards and 10 touchdowns and run for 199 yards and 2 touchdowns on the season. At running back, the Patriots look for Luca Grave, a junior to take most of the workload. In 4 games, he has ran for 489 yards and 8 touchdowns.
