June 7on7 Updates

The skill players completed a very successful 7on7 campaign in June. This schedule was by far the most ambitious in terms of travel and overall number of events that we have taken as a program. The players and coaches handled the schedule extremely well. We learned a lot, competed well, and definitely improved throughout the month of June. When all was said and done, the team advanced to the championship game in 3 out of 4 tournaments, won 1 championship, and finished with an overall record of 19-4-1.

Zone6ix 7on7 NJ Tournament

​We captured the Zone6ix/NJ Gridiron New Jersey 7on7 Tournament Championship on June 15th. The day was highlighted by a 21-20 win over league rival DePaul. In this game, the team fell behind 20-8 before rallying with a couple of late scores in the final 2 minutes of play to secure the win. The play of the game was made by 2026 WR Hunter Watson in an incredible diving catch in the endzone to tie the game. On the next play 2026 QB Tyler Bell found 2025 WR DJ Brown for the go-ahead conversion.

Syracuse University 7on7

The next trip that the team embarked on was up to Syracuse University on June 21-22nd. For this trip we traveled overnight for the Friday-Saturday 2-day event. On the field, the team finished the first day 3-0-1.

​In the elimination playoff bracket on Saturday, we won the first 2 games before falling to CT Prime, a 7on7 team based out of Connecticut, who went on to win the tournament.

Zone6ix 7on7 Showcase

Zone6ix hosted a 2nd 7on7 event on Thursday, June 27th, at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson. This shorter event (8 team playoff bracket) once again featured some of the best HS 7on7 competition in the state.

The Marauders finished 2-1 on the night losing in the championship. The finals game featured a rematch of the championship from the event on June 15th with DePaul. This matchup in the stadium was also a preview of the regular season matchup between Prep and DePaul which will take place at Hinchliffe on Thursday, October 17th.

​Of course the Zone6ix organization did a great job with promotion of the event and provided the 7on7 teams with these slick custom uniforms.

Lehigh University 7on7 & Big Man Challenge

On June 29th we completed our 7on7 tour with a trip to Lehigh University. This was the largest travel group as we entered 2 separate teams into the 7on7 and brought several additional OL/DL for the big man challenge totaling over 45 players in the event.

​On the field the teams once again fared well. The "Maroon" team steamrolled through pool play with a 4-0 record. In the playoffs, the Marauders advanced all the way to the championship game once again. In that game, the team fell behind early to Gonzaga (DC) by several scores. A late rally was thwarted when a 2 point conversion to tie fell short with under a minute to play. The team finished 6-1 on the day.
