Cristian Rodriguez scored a touchdown and rushed for a two point conversion, but Wayne Hills (No. 4, 6-5) still lost to top seeded Pascack Valley (10-0). Erik Martinez added a field goal.
Mike Manente caught two touchdown passes for Pascack Valley. The first was a four yard toss from Kyle Zenk. The second came on a 7 yard throw from Kyle Schneider with two minutes remaining to ice the game. Chris Garcia ran for Pascack Valley's other score. Zenk's 61 yard fumble return set up the score.
"We were at the 12 yard line and feeling pretty good (at that point)," said Hills coach Chris Olsen. "But the wrong kid picked up that fumble. He made a good return our of it. That hurt us."
This is the first time that Hills failed to make the final game since 2003 and only the second time since 1996. It's also Hills' lowest win total since 1994.

Go Pompton Lakes Go!
On behalf of the entire WayneSports.com staff, good luck to our neighbors Pompton Lakes as they take on a very strong Saddle Brook team in the semifinals Saturday.

Constant, stifling pressure backed up by energetic stick-to-stick defense. West Morris Central was unyielding in refusing to allow Wayne Hills breathing room in any area of the field.
