Football: Section I, Group III Semifinals: Wayne Hills 49, High Point 0


Fumble recoveries by Matt Greenfield and Russ Piekarsky set up touchdowns for Wayne Hills in the first half and recoveries by Jimmy Kenny and Roberto Alvarez set up scores in the second half. Piekarsky led the way defensively with 12 tackles, while Pete Daibes and Nick Masi had nine apiece.

“The number one thing tonight was physicality,” Daibes said. “We knew they had a good running game and stopping it was our number one priority.”

“Their fullback Austin Caldwell, was their best runner, so we had to key on him and be aware of where he was,” Greenfield said. “They used the option and we just had to stick to our assignments.”

On offense, tailback Brain Dowling carried 16 times 91 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 74 yards and a scoring strike from Kevin Olsen. James Hogan added two TD runs. Wayne Hills final two scores came of a 2-yard run by Masi near the end of the third quarter and a 1-yard bolt by Justin Beveridge in the fourth quarter.

The win propels Hills into its 15th Sectional final (1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). They will take on Old Tappan in the final. Old Tappan downed Paramus in the other semifinals game.
