Bergen Catholic Crusaders Head Football Coach POST GAME INTERVIEW
Mahwah Thunderbirds Head Coach Jeff Remo said after the game against the Westwood Cardinals, “It’s been written on our bulletin board in big letters, the number 20 and last year’s score has been written on all week” Mahwah was the last team to defeat Westwood which was back in 2013 24-20 but last year the Cardinals trounced Mahwah 48-14. Coming into this highly anticipated match-up, the Thunderbirds had accumulated 104 points while Westwood’s stingy defense had allowed a total of 6 points in two games.
