RIDGEWOOD — It’s a good thing you don’t get points for time of possession, because Ridgewood would never get any. The Maroons’ high powered offense was on display again Friday night in the opening round of the North 1, Group 5 playoffs.
Ridgewood ran only 30 offensive plays, yet scored nine touchdowns. Four came on the first play of a possession as the Maroons ran away from East Orange, 63-34, to advance to the semifinals next Friday against Passaic Tech.
The Maroons defeated the Bulldogs, 41-18, last week in a regular-season game.
“They just couldn’t stop us,” Ridgewood coach Chuck Johnson said.
His team had 11 plays of 20 or more yards and at one point in the second quarter, the Maroons scored on four consecutive offensive snaps.
Having beaten the Jaguars, 53-0, a month ago, it was important for Ridgewood (9-0) to get off to a quick start. Four plays into the game, Cooper Telesco scored on a 13-yard run and Ridgewood never looked back. Telesco added two more touchdowns in the first half and had all of his 111 rushing yards before halftime.
