Parsippany Football Falls to Kinnelon

Run defense struggles in Hawks' fifth loss of 2011.

The Parsippany High football team dropped its fifth consecutive game of 2011 on Saturday with a 49-10 loss at Kinnelon (4-1).

Parsippany (0-5) allowed some big runs throughout the game, as the Red Hawk defense saw Kinnelon's Sean Robbins break free for runs of 50 and 63 yards, both for scores. Robbins' teammate Nick Scorzo also picked up two rushing touchdowns as he scorched the Parsippany defense for a 74-yard score in the third quarter, and a 20-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth, according to NJ.com.

Parsippany found the end zone once in the loss, when junior quarterback Corey Wallace took off for a 37-yard touchdown run on the games' final play.
