Old Tappan scored 41 unanswered points at one point, winning its second sectional championship in three years in dominant fashion
The Old Tappan football team poses for a photo following a 41-13 win over West Essex to win the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3 sectional title on Friday, Nov. 15, 2024A year ago, standing on its home field, Old Tappan was stunned by what happened against West Morris in the sectional final.
That opportunity came on Friday, and Old Tappan made the most of it behind its ultimate Swiss army knife in senior Alex Orecchio, senior running back and linebacker Nick Rossi and a fabulous offensive line. Old Tappan will face a familiar foe in Pascack Valley in the Group 3 semis next weekend with a chance to play in the Group 3 championship on the line.
He had touchdowns runs of 1 and 4 yards, while catching an 81-yard pass for another score. Oh, the senior also kicked two field goals, a 31-yard boot and a 33-yard kick, and was a perfect 5 for 5 on PATs. The offensive line, which featured Caden Pemberton, Jack Horgan, Joseph Puccio, Ryan Miceli and Michael Gracey, consistently fired off the ball and pushed the pile for extra yards.
