RIDGEWOOD — On Friday night, the 2003 Ridgewood High School state-championship football team was honored at halftime of the Maroons’ game versus Fair Lawn. It also was an opportunity for those title holders to catch a glimpse of this year’s group, one that has drawn a lot of comparisons to their predecessors.
Glimpse is probably the right word, because if they got held up at the pre-game tailgate party, they probably missed the first team’s performance. Once again, Ridgewood made quick work of an opponent and took the second half off.
This time, it was Fair Lawn, with the Maroons scoring all eight times they had the ball on the way to a 53-6 lead at the intermission. That would also be the final score, as Ridgewood went with its second team after the break.
Now 6-0, they travel to Clifton tonight with a pretty clear picture of what they need to do in the North 1, Group 5 state-playoff bracket. Last week’s win guaranteed Ridgewood a spot in the playoffs, but just getting there isn’t going to satisfy this team.
