Football: Caldwell rides defense through early sloppiness to shutout Hanover Park
Joey Marinello of Caldwell carries the ball against West Essex during the high school football game at Bonnell Field in West Caldwell, NJ on Friday, September 22, 2023.It should come as no surprise that the football team with the longest winning streak in the state of New Jersey holds itself to the highest of standards.
“Our coach is the best,” senior linebacker Julian Casale said. “When the sun comes up and it goes back down the next day it is a new day. You just forget about the past and it’s onto the present. We’re going to watch film tomorrow and correct all of our mistakes, whether it’s our personal job or just jumping off sides. We have to get it fixed for next week.”
The offense began to stagnate for much of the first half for Caldwell from that point forward in large part due to penalties. Caldwell proceeded to go three-and-out on its next two possessions -- the latter of which resulted in a blocked punt and Hanover Park taking over near midfield. Caldwell drove down into the red zone on a 14-play drive after getting the ball back when Hanover Park could not tie advantage of its good field position, but a botched snap got the Chiefs behind the chains and they could not recover before turning it over on downs.
