Bulldogs Going To The Playoffs !!!
The regular season has ended for the Meadowlands Football League and Rutherford has three of its four teams in the 2009 MFL Playoffs. The Rutherford Mighty Mites (7 year olds) will be playing Ridgefield Park on Mighty Mite Day. Rutherford will be hosting the first MFL Mighty Mite Day, in which the eight MFL (7 year old) teams will play each other, starting at 12:00 pm. There is a $1.00 admission and the four games will start with Hasbrouck Heights vs Carl/ER at noon, Rutherford vs Ridgefield Park at 1:00 pm, Lyndhurst vs WoodRidge at 2:00 pm and Elmwood Park vs North Arlington at 4:00 pm. Trophies and hot dogs will be supplied to all players. The RJF Pee Wees (8-9 year olds) finished the regular season undefeated at 8-0 and will have the top seed in the playoffs. The Bulldogs (8-0) will open up with the Wallington Panthers (4-4) at 5:30 pm in Harrison on Saturday night. This past weekend saw the little Dogs beat Hasbrouck Heights (6-2) 24-6. The game opened with Richie Marquez running a QB Counter for 35 yards behind lead blocker Tyler Aponte. On Rutherford’s next possession, Omar Abdelhamid broke loose from 50 yards out, making the score 12-0. With 2 minutes left in the half, the HH Aviators tried to run a sweep and the pitch got away from the tailback. The ball bounced off several HH and Rutherford players before DT Regan Landrigan scooped it up and bolted to the end zone for Rutherford’s third score of the half. The second half saw the ground and pound game with Jacob Munoz leading the way by getting his name called eight consecutive times. RB Munoz powered his way down field before capping the drive off with a blast behind FB Bill Finn for the score. The Rutherford offensive line controlled the pace of the game and was led by: Lawson Fischer, John Kelly, Rich Doren, Nick Ippolito, Mike DeSteno, Anthony Dubenezic and Joe Fisicaro. The JV squad closed out the game, winning 24-6. The Rutherford Juniors (10-11 year olds) took on the Hasbrouck Heights Aviators and dropped a close one, 7-0. The Aviators got on the board first when after a bruising 1st qtr they were able to score on a long pass to take a 7-0 lead. That would also be the halftime score. The 3rd quarter saw both teams struggle with the pouring rain and their respective defenses. The 4th quarter was another defensive battle with neither team managing to get anything going. After several fumbles back and forth, the game would end with the score Aviators 7 Bulldogs 0. The Rutherford Juniors (5-3) will play the Harrison Juniors (5-3) in the first round of the playoffs, on Saturday night in Harrison after the PW game. This past weekend, the RJF program held their Annual Eighth Grade Flower Ceremony and graduated 28 eighth graders with a final thank you. Each player & cheerleader was escorted by their parents to mid field for the final time. Rutherford Junior Football also would like to take this opportunity to thank all the sponsors who donated to the New Helmet Fund
