Delbarton 35-6 Lakeland
In Morristown, Delbarton looked as focused and sharp as they have all year as they pummeled Lakeland 35-6 on Homecoming. Delbarton’s Homecoming is the Morris County Version of the Great American Cookout, with an amazing selection of free food and droves of alumni returning to support the Green Wave. Delbarton controlled the line of scrimmage and took control of the race for the NHC Suburban crown with the resounding victory.
After its only punt of the game, the Green Wave received a Lancer punt, systematically marched down the field, and jumped out to a 7-0 lead when Terry White scored on first 2-yard touchdown run. Andrew Bell added the PAT for the home team. On the next Lakeland possession, the Lancers had a 4-14 and run their rugby punt, with disastrous results. The punter had a hard time deciding on whether or not to run the ball or punt as he pulled up to kick but run three times anyway, but the last time the punter kicked the ball only to have it blocked. On the next play, White founded Bell on a short pass but Bell made a few tacklers miss and run 45 yard for the score. Bell then booted the extra point to add to the 14-0 Green Wave advantage.
In the second quarter, Delbarton got an interception, which set up another Green Wave score, by Greg Bickenese on a run from 6 yards out. Bell’s extra point was way good as he extended the Green Wave surge to 21 points. Then like clockwork, Delbarton got the ball again and White again scampered in from 2 yards out as the Green Wave rolled into halftime with a 28-0 lead.
On Delbarton’s first possession, White again scored from two yards out and Bell again tacked on the extra point as the Green Wave pushed their lead to 35 as their starters left the game. Lakeland added 6 points on a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The intercepted Hail Mary on the final play of the game epitomized Lakeland’s day.
Delbarton is rolling towards their third straight NHC crown but they must first meet the Montville Mustangs this Friday on Montville’s homecoming, where Green Wave will try to avenge their home regular season defeat last year. Delbarton’s Homecoming Game is great for all those people who like football and even more so for those who just want to see want the atmosphere for a high school game should be, plus all the food is a nice bonus. The only downside to this game is the lack of parking and the amount of this it takes to leave after a game. For those of you that complained about the parking for the Mt Olive-Seton Hall Prep game, that was cake walk compared to leaving Delbarton.
