Prep vs Union City Recap

On a late Saturday afternoon in Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey, an old Hudson County football rivalry was renewed between Saint Peter’s Prep and Union City. Once again, the Marauders came up on top of the Soaring Eagles with a 42-15 victory.
Of the five touchdowns that the Marauders scored in the first half, Tyler Bell contributed to all of them. Four of the touchdowns came from the air, and the other came on a 1 yard run. Bell threw to Hunter Watson on the first three scores of the game, and also connected with Christian Cruz for the last score of the half. The Prep defense also played very well in the first half. Union City did not gain a first down until the second quarter, and they held the Soaring Eagles to only one touchdown in the first half.
Prep went into the half with a 35-7 lead, and were on cruise control for the rest of the game. Bell threw a 12 yard touchdown pass to Amari Jones in the third quarter, and Union City scored another touchdown plus a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Bell finished the game with five touchdown passes, and one from the ground. 
The Marauders are now 2-0 to begin the season, their best start since 2022. Their next game will be on September 12 where they will face Shabazz at 7:30 PM at Kean Alumni Stadium in Union, NJ.
