Strictly business. That's the best way to describe Don Bosco's win this afternoon against the St. Joseph Regional High School Green Knights. St. Joe's kept things close in the first half, down just 14-7 at halftime. But the Ironmen (7-0) slowly and methodically picked apart the St. Joe's defense. Brett Knief found tight end Alexander DiSanzo wide open several times during the game for big pass plays over the middle. Don Bosco's defense clamped down and stopped the Green Knights running attack.
At the end of game handshake, many of the players on both teams were smiling, hugging each other, and joking around. It was clear that these two teams knew each other. DiSanzo said, "We look forward to this game. We're friends with a lot of the guys on their team. We were joking around this week, teasing each other about this weekend. It's great to play them."
Quarterback Brett Knief had a solid game behind center. His eyes are on the showdown with Bergen Catholic next week. "Every year, we live, breathe, and think Bergen Catholic. It's the big game. We're going to have to practice hard. We're ready."
Thousands of fans, parents, and alums were at the game, but some former St. Joe's players I talked with on the sideline said there weren't as many people at the game this year than in years past.
Bergen Catholic (7-0) won their game against Nutley on Saturday 34-6. Don Bosco Prep and Bergen Catholic will meet Saturday night at 7:00pm at Don Bosco.
