Home opener loss

Ok - not the way we would have wanted the home opener to go.  In particular the injury to young Sammy Caivano is a tough one to take - lets all wish him a speedy recovery.

Caivano takes down TWO Nutley blockers

Positives -

1. Swanson & Bednarski got their fifth TD of the season together and their chemistry is getting better & better.  Give Ryan a touch more time and we know there will be many more in the coming weeks.
2. The sophomores came up big time!  How about Schoen & Montuoro showcasing some great moves on offense.  Shoen's 80 yd kick off return was fantastic!  Grezeszcak, Brody & Graham all had tackles on defense.  We are going to seeing a lot of this class in the coming weeks - they will only get better & better.
3. If we can keep players healthy somehow, we will see some fireworks.  Simon has been incredible at defense and the few plays he saw on Offense show what a great asset his running game can be.  When he, Vaccaro & DeLong get back to 100% our games really will take off.

So hang in there gang!   Fortunately there is a TON of Millburn football to look forward to.

Schoen (2) runs behind Montuoro (21) on a kick off return.
