Football: Kenilworth Bears Dominate Season Opener With Shutout
Maria Torres · Union County Life
Head Coach Elliot Platt praised the roster for executing the game plan efficiently right from the opening whistle. Union County Life tracked the explosive start as the Bears offense managed to score touchdowns on their very first two offensive snaps of the game. On the other side of the ball, the defensive unit remained aggressive and relentless in its pursuit of the football, keeping Wallington completely off the scoreboard for four quarters.
The ground game powered the offensive production for Kenilworth. Nehemiah De Leon spearheaded the rushing attack, accumulating over 100 yards and crossing the goal line for two touchdowns. Running back Monroe Passmore delivered significant support on the ground, contributing 83 rushing yards and another two touchdowns to secure the victory. The Bears look to build on this early season momentum as they prepare to host Manville High School at home for a 6 p.m. kickoff.
