Minutemen March to Delbarton for First Road Game of 2013

The Mendham Minutemen couldn’t have kicked off the 2013 season – and Bill Carpluk era 2.0 – any better.

The varsity football team came out swinging, shutting out Mt. Olive 26-0 last Friday afternoon.

But week two will be a different story, as the Minutemen will head down Rt. 24 to take on private school and perennial contender Delbarton Green Wave.

The Green Wave is 0-1, but not without good reason.

Delbarton hosted Paramus Catholic in its first game and lost 30-18, according to nj.com, but got stronger as the game went on, scoring in each of the final three quarters.

Delbarton won the tilt between neighboring teams in 2012 by a score of 21-7. That game was played at Mendham.

Who do you think will win?
