RIDGEWOOD – There was no way to know what to expect as Ridgewood opened the football season Friday night. The Maroons were green as the grass coming in, but after four quarters they were feeling good.
With a completely rebuilt offensive line providing plenty of openings, Ridgewood rushed for 404 yards on the way to a 53-6 victory over Passaic. The victory marked the 200th win at Ridgewood for head coach Chuck Johnson, who is 235-119-2 overall in his career (including five seasons at Bogota).
The game started auspiciously for the Maroons, who lost a fumble on the second play from scrimmage, but they scored on each of their next eight possessions. Cooper Telesco got the first two scores on runs of 65 and 2 yards on the way to 140 rushing yards on six first-half carries.
“It was a great job by the offensive line,” Telesco said of the quintet, each making their first varsity start. “They’ve been working so hard all preseason and they really were getting off the ball.’
