Group 2

Rumson Fair-Haven 44, Point Boro 10

Senior quarterback Owen O’Toole completed 28 of 37 passes for a career-high 334 yards and ran for two touchdowns and senior Carson Memmot accounted for 19 points with three field goals, an interception return for a touchdown and four extra points as the Bulldogs (12-0) dominated the Panthers (10-3) to reach their third straight Group 2 state final.

Rumson also set a program single-season record with its 12th win.

Senior wide receiver Jordan Angstreich caught 10 passes for 130 yards to continue his record-breaking season and senior wideout Nick Thomas caught 10 passes for 123 yards. Junior running back Kellen Murray ran for 48 yards and two touchdowns and Memmot returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown in addition to kicking field goals of 22, 23 and 30 yards.

Point Boro’s points came on a 22-yard field goal by sophomore Jack Sullivan and a 51-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Jake Clayton to junior running back Calvin Videon-Perino. The touchdown connection pulled Point Boro to within 13-10 with 8:40 left in the third quarter but Rumson pulled away from there. The Bulldogs became the first team this season to hold Point Boro without a rushing touchdown.

Rumson will play Shabazz in the Group 2 state final after the Bulldogs defeated Hanover Park 8-7 in the other semifinals. The state championship game is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 4 at Rutgers since Shabazz plays on Thanksgiving, but that is not official until the NJSIAA announces the championship schedule.
