THEY SAID IT
"The boys had a great week of practice after coming off that win against Morris Catholic last week and it showed today against the Wildcats. The team (Chiefs) did not take those Wildcats lightly. Our boys played great overall on offense and defense and the special teams did their part too."—Hopatcong head coach Gary Andolena
