RIDGEWOOD — Football coaches will tell you that it is hard, very hard to defeat the same team twice in the same season. Ridgewood High School now gets to take it one step further. The Maroons have to beat the same team twice in eight days — and not just the same team, but one that exacts a physical toll on its opponents.
Passaic County Tech makes a return visit to Ridgewood tonight one week after the Maroons (6-2) earned the right to host the Bulldogs in the opening round of the North 1, Group 5 state playoffs by virtue of their 23-12 win last Friday night.
