East Brunswick won an impressive victory against J.P Stevens in front of a rowdy home crowd consisting of a ‘Pink’ bear den. The night didn’t start well with J.P. Stevens getting a quick 6 point lead, but the Bears came back and Sean O’Sullivan caught a 30 pass from Kevin Hemmings to tie the game at 6. East Brunswick’s defense was very stingy and in the second quarter sacked the quarterback and caused a fumble which the Bears recovered on the 3 yard line and Al Fitzpatrick ran it in and Alex Boyko made the kick. J.P. Stevens answer with a touchdown of their own but East Brunswick blocked the extra point allowing the East Brunswick to take a 13-12 lead into the half. The cheerleaders and band put on a really great half time show. The second half started strong for East Brunswick with the Bears scoring a touchdown quickly on a 70 yard run by Keith Hemmings followed by a surprise off-side kick which East Brunswick recovered. The Bears then added to their lead with a field goal to make the score 23-12. Unfortunately, J.P. Stevens drove right down the field to cut the lead to 4 points. Both teams struggled for the rest of the third quarter but after we got an interception, we were then able to drive down for a touchdown with an extra point. J.P. Stevens scored once more to make the game close and looked to be threatening with 2 minutes left, but after the Bears got an interceptions they were then able to just kneel to end the game.
