The high school football season is moving into the meat of the schedule, where teams find out whether they have the stuff to make a real push into the playoffs. Bergen County saw the Westwood Cardinals coming off a four-game winning streak Friday going into the match-up against the Thunderbirds of Mahwah. But the Cardinals lost to the Thunderbirds 21-6.
Westwood opened up the game fast on the opening kickoff when Ryan Galloway took the ball 86 yards for a touchdown giving the Cardinals a six point lead which they held throughout the first half in a very good defensive battle.
The second half saw a different Cardinal offense as they abandoned the run and started passing. Jeremy Taylor went 10-18 for 85 yards and Ryan Galloway caught five passes for 38 yards.
