November 2, 2007 – East Brunswick 21, North Brunswick 12

East Brunswick had a very satisfying victory over North Brunswick. The Bears
struck quickly with a couple of big runs by Doug Fischer. On the fifth play of
the game, he faked a hand-off and dashed up the middle for a 38 yard touchdown.
North Brunswick then fumbled the kickoff giving the Bears an opportunity to
really break the game open, but the drive stalled and the Bears missed the field
goal attempt. The defense then held North Brunswick and after they punted, East
Brunswick had a lightning fast drive with a 38 yard run by Bobby Tocco followed
by a beautiful 33 yard pass down the middle from Doug Fischer to Ryan Ross for a
touchdown. The Bears made the kick and were up 14-0 at the end of the first
quarter. North Brunswick scored in the second quarter but missed the kick, so the score was 14-6 at
the half. The Raiders scored first in the second half but failed on a two point attempt to bring the score to 14-12. Marcus Borden then put in
sophomore backup quarterback Mauro Tucci to provide a spark. Tucci proceeded to run the ball 9 times on a 16 play drive that made it all the way
to the 1 yard line before stalling. North Brunswick took over on downs and it looked like the defense had a safety, but it wasn’t called. Bobby Tocco
then got his second interception of the night and two plays later he received a 15 touchdown pass from Mauro Tucci to put the Bears up 21-12.
East Brunswick is now 4-4 for the season.
