About this listen

 In this episode, NJ.com reporters Donovan Hugel, Mike Kinney and Ryan Patti break down the North Jersey, Section 1 and North Jersey, Section 2 sectional finals taking place this weekend. The reporters give their take on the 10 finals happening across North Jersey this weekend, including a couple of Cinderella teams looking to pull off massive upsets, while other teams are aiming to lift yet another championship. 0:00: Passaic Tech is playing its best football of the season right now and heads into a rematch against West Orange confident with the North 1, Group 5 title on the line. What kind of adjustments does West Orange make the second time around against PCTI? 5:12: The best public school rivalry in North Jersey writes another chapter as Northern Highlands and Ramapo renew their rivalry. It’s the second meeting of the season between the two teams, and what adjustments are going to be made in the North 1, Group 4 final? 10:15: Wayne Hills is back in a sectional final, but is playing the standard in Group 3 football the past few years in Old Tappan. This is almost another rematch from a regular-season contest. 15:28: Speaking of rematches, Ramsey heads to Westwood in the North 1, Group 2 final after Westwood defeated Ramsey in the regular season. 20:30: Kinnelon is having one of its best seasons ever, but faces a tough task going up against a defending sectional champion in Butler in the North 1, Group 1 final. 26:00: Moving onto the North 2, Group 5 final. Bayonne has been one of the darlings in the state tournament so far. Can it keep its Cinderella run going as it faces a Bridgewater-Raritan team that is playing with a ton of confidence? 32:10: The Big Central Conference takes central stage in North 2, Group 4 as Phillipsburg hosts Montgomery. Phillipsburg has been a staple in recent years, making deep runs in the state tournament. Montgomery has had a remarkable turnaround from last year’s 1-9 season to reaching a sectional final. 35:41: Summit had a dramatic walk-off win over West Essex last week in the semis and will now go against a West Morris team that has had tremendous success in the playoffs, once again. 40:53: Madison is another Cinderella as the Dodgers are the lowest seed remaining as a No. 7 seed. But Madison will face its stiffest test in a very good Shabazz team that is seeking its third consecutive sectional championship. 46:43: We end the podcast with the North 2, Group 1 final between two more Big Central Conference teams as New Providence takes on a Cedar Grove team that won a sectional championship a season ago. The matchup is a contrast of styles on offense, with New Providence’s ground game and Cedar Grove’s air raid. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
