Home Field Not Much Of An Advantage: Rockets Mauled By Bears 42-0 in CJ Group II Playoffs

My old and beloved High School team, the Raritan Rockets lost last night to the Delran Bears 42-0 in the opening round of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II.

Even though Raritan hosted last nights game, home field advantage didn't seem to matter as the  Rockets were mauled by the Bears in every facet of the game.

The Bears scored on their opening drive of the game and then went on to 4 more touchdowns in the second quater. On the night Delran converted 7 of 12 on third down and 2 of 3 on fourth downs. 

It's to bad, this was a game that most of the pundits called for Raritan but it just goes to show you that game isn't over until it is played on the field.  

Even though the Rockets lost, they can still hold their heads up high for their achievements on the field this year. After going 2-8 last year, this years record of 6-3 is a great improvement. 

They have one more game against Holmdel on Thanksgiving day and if they win, it could still give them a portion of their Shore North division crown this the year.

So lets hear it for the Rockets, go beat Holmdel on Thanksgiving day and win yourselves a piece of that division crown.
