Springfield A |
Won 12 - 0, Playing on a bad field under the tough conditions of rain and wind and on a day when the offense struggled to get going and continually hurt itself with penalties against a tough Springfield team, it was the Hilltopper defense that led the way. The tone for the day was set early when MLB Nick Oristanio faced up in the hole and drilled the Minutemen FB with one of the hardest and best hits you will ever see. From that point on the Hilltopper defense dominated and completely bottled up the Springfield offense which could not generate anything the rest of the day. DE’s Michael Negron and Spenser Huston along with LB’s Logan Jeffries, Joe Lenz and Sam Compton as well as DT Michael Stewart made sure anyone carrying the ball knew it was going to be a long day by totally dominating things up front. The secondary which was patrolled by FS Michael Ford and CB’s Justin Cyrus and Timmy Yager completely shut down the Minutemen passing game and both Justin Cyrus and Timmy Yager each had interceptions and Yager also defended and broke up 3 other passes. The offense which struggled all day did manage to score a TD in the 1st half when HB Ryan Hislop was able to punch it in from the 3 yard line, after QB Chet Joffe set it up with a 40 yard run. The highlight in the 2nd half was a leaping grab over the middle by WR Michael Haines who took a big hit from the Springfield MLB, but managed to hang onto the ball. The other score was another TD run by HB Ryan Hislop. The Hilltoppers then moved FB Peter Badgley to HB and with the lead blocking of FB Michael Strelzik managed to kill the clock and get the win.

Berkeley Heights A |
Won 24 – 14, After a great opening series on defense where the Hilltoppers forced a punt by the Highlanders, things went bad when the punt was fumbled and recovered by the Highlanders. Then working with a short field Berkeley Hgts managed to score and added to extra point to take an 8 - 0 lead. Meaning the Hilltoppers were trailing for the 1st time this season. It didn’t get much better for Summit when they were forced to punt and then gave up a big pass play for a TD, but the Highlanders missed the extra point, which left the score at 14 - 0. QB Chet Joffe didn’t have one of his better days throwing the ball, but used his feet to run for significant gains which set up a TD run by HB Ryan Hislop and CB/K Timmy Yager converted the extra point to cut the deficit to 14 - 8. After a Hilltopper turnover deep in Highlander territory Berkeley Hgts then went to the air, but MLB Nick Oristanio stepped in front of the intended pass for the interception and refused to be brought down. He returned it for the tying TD and with Timmy Yager again converting the extra point the Hilltoppers had the lead 16 - 14 at the half. The 2nd half the Hilltopper defense got back to it’s dominating ways with DT Michael Stewart, DE Spenser Huston, LB Logan Jeffries, LB Nick Oristanio and LB Joe Lenz playing a lot of the game as Defensive linemen led the way for the 2nd half shut out. CB Timmy Yager had another interception which lead to another TD run by Ryan Hislop, in which FB Peter Badgley paved the way with a great block and with Timmy Yager converting his 3rd extra point of the day the scoring was closed out for the day at 24 - 14. Designated clock eater Peter Badgley was moved from FB to HB and again with the lead blocking of FB Michael Strelzik killed the remaining time to seal the Hilltopper victory.

Won 12-0. After an offensive drive that lasted more than the entire 1st quarter the B-team failed to capitalize getting any points on the scoreboard. The defense then shut down BH's offense and took advantage of a bad snap to their punter. Johnny Shaffer finished off the next drive with a 1 yard dive over right tackle. After a 6-0 half time lead Summit's defense again held BH's offense to minimal yards and David Kalin ran a sweep for a 16 yard TD. Stefano Stadlinger had 6 tackles, Alex Fiorito had 5 and Brendan Wood had 2 interceptions for a defense that gave up minimal yards on the day. |

Montclair |
Won 16 - 14 over Montclair. Playing an out of league game on a Thursday the Hilltoppers came out against a very big and talented Montclair team and were impressive right from the start. After the Hilltopper defense stymied the Montclair offense the Hilltoppers took over and marched right down the field and if not for a penalty that pushed the ball back and gave a tough angle would have taken the lead, but CB/K Timmy Yager’s kick sailed wide right. After another great defensive effort by the Hilltoppers led by DE Michael Negron and LB/DT Joe Lenz set the Hilltoppers offense up to capitalize. QB Chett Joffe playing perhaps his most complete game this season so far led a scoring drive with his and RB Ryan Hislop’s running, but the play of the drive was a perfectly thrown ball down the left sideline to WR Tony Masterfano who ran under the ball for the TD and CB/K Timmy Yager tacked on the extra point for a 8 - 0 Hilltopper lead. When the Hilltoppers got the ball back on offense QB Chett Joffe then hit TE Jackson Stuckey on a short out route that he turned upfield and took in for the TD and a 16 - 0 Hilltopper lead at the half after Yager converted his 2nd extra point. Masterfano and Stuckey, also each had highlight reel grabs as Masterfano did a nice little toe tap to haul in a pass on the sideline from a scrambling Joffe and Stuckey made a nice leaping grab then to hung on after a big hit from a Cobra defender. In the second half Montclair mounted a comeback, but were stopped on several occasions by the dominant play of DE Michael Negron who it seemed like was in the Cobra’s backfield all day. DE Spenser Huston on the other side made life just as miserable for Cobra’s when they tried to run away from Negron. LB’s Logan Jeffries and Nick Oristanio did their normal solid job with numerous tackles for loss. The secondary patrolled by CB’s Griffin Cooper and Timmy Yager along with FS Michael Ford played flawless pass defense and Michael Ford had an interception on a ball that was deflected by Griffin Cooper. The Hilltoppers have this weekend off and then get back into league play against our old rival and neighbors from New Providence next Sunday. |

New Providence A |
Won 32 - 0, Last season the teams split 2 very close games, but on this day the Hilltoppers left no doubt as to who was the better team. The Hilltoppers put together their most complete and dominating game of the season. Summit came out and forced the Hawks to punt on their first possession and the Hilltopper offense went right to work when on the 2nd play from scrimmage QB Chett Joffe went to the air and hit HB Ryan Hislop who was lined up in the slot for a 65 yard TD pass and CB/K Timmy Yager converted the extra point for an 8 - 0 Hiltopper lead. The Summit defense which was extremely dominant led by LB Joe Lenz and DE Spenser Huston got the ball back for the offense after an interception by CB Justin Cyrus and the Hilltoppers went back to work. QB Chett Joffe directed a nice drive hitting TE Jackson Stuckey with a couple of passes as well as the running of HB Ryan Hislop got the ball down inside the 10 yard line where FB Peter Badgley moved to HB and with a nice lead block from FB Michael Strelzik punched it in from the 1 for the TD. After Yager converted his 2nd extra point of the day the Hilltoppers were up 16 - 0 over the Hawks. New Providence trying to mount a comeback decided to go to the air, but CB Timmy Yager stepped in front of the pass for the interception. Summit wasted no time when on the first play after the turnover the Hilltoppers went to the air again and QB Chett Joffe again hit HB Ryan Hislop down the left sideline for a 55 yard TD. Timmy Yager again converted the extra point and the Hilltoppers went to the half with a 24 - 0 lead over the Hawks. The second half didn’t start well for the Hilltoppers when they pinned themselves deep in their own territory with a few penalties, but after a nice punt by Yager the defense shut down the Hawks offense. The Hilltoppers then went to their clock killing backfield of Peter Badgley and Michael Strelzik and just pounded the New Providence defense repeatedly with Badgley out of the I-Formation. The Hawks made an adjustment to this and went to an 8 man front, so the Hilltoppers ran a play action fake and QB Chett Joffe hit WR Tony Masterfano for a 35 yard TD and Joffe’s 3rd TD pass of the day. After Timmy Yager connected on his 4th extra point the scoring was complete on a 32 - 0 Hilltopper win.

Kalin had the lone TD of the 2nd half on a 47 yard off-tackle bolt. Shaffer converted all 3 of his PAT kicks for the additional 6 points. The scoring was led by the tremendous blocking of Kyle Codey, Tyler Reinmund, Andrew Perry, Hany Castenada, Willy Woodward & Will Weber. The stifling defense was highlighted with an interception from Shaffer and a fumble recovery by Thomas Lackaye. Stefan Stadlinger, Geron Crawford, Kohl Geibel, Alex Fiorito and Ben Ballintyn punished the NP runners all day. |

Hanover H |
Won 13 - 0, On a day when the Hilltoppers didn’t play anywhere near their ‘A’ game, they came out flat and let a big and physical Hanover team hang in the ballgame. On the Hilltoppers 1st offensive series QB Chett Joffe had a ball deflected and it was intercepted to end the drive, but after a stop by the defense to force a punt QB Chett Joffe rebounded from the interception and threw a nice ball down the left sideline that HB Ryan Hislop ran under for a 50 yard TD. CB/K Timmy Yager converted the extra point and the Hilltopers had an 8 - 0 lead. The Hilltopper defense shut down the Tigers offense with numerous tackles for loss by DE Spenser Huston and LB Joe Lenz, who both played much of the game along the defensive line in down positions. LB Nick Oristanio registered another solid performance, which could have been even better had he managed to hang onto 2 balls for interceptions, although the Hilltoppers did get interceptions from LB Logan Jeffries and FS Michael Ford. QB Chett Joffe directed a nice drive hitting TE Jackson Stuckey with a couple of passes and with a few runs by HB Ryan Hislop and FB Peter Badgley the ball was on the 1 yard line, but Joffe was stopped short on a 4th down QB sneak attempt and Summit gave the ball over to the Tigers on downs. After a great defensive stand Hanover was forced to punt out of their own end zone, but the snap rolled through the punters legs and out of the end zone for a safety and the Hilltoppers had a 10 - 0 lead. Summit did manage another nice offensive drive, but it stalled at the 17 yard line and they summoned on CB/K Timmy Yager who nailed the 34 yard FG and stretched the lead to 13 - 0, which was the final on another solid albeit ugly Hilltopper win. The Hilltoppers close out the regular season with Chatham and a battle for the Division Title and a 1st round playoff bye.

Chatham A |
Won 11 - 0, In a battle for 1st place and a division title at stake the Hilltoppers traveled to Chatham for a match-up with the Cougars. With heavy winds wreaking havoc with the Hilltopper’s normally effective passing game QB Chett Joffe was asked to manage the game as the Hilltoppers went to their ground game and HB’s Ryan Hislop and Justin Cyrus along with FB Peter Badgley churned out tough yards all day against a stingy Cougar defense, but just couldn’t manage any points. Seeing how this was going to be a day for the defense to carry the team, the Hilltoppers had solid play from the entire defense. MLB’s Joe Lenz who played most of the game as a down linemen and Nick Oristanio as well DT’s Michael Stewart and Jerome Madrigal controlled the middle of the field while OLB’s Sam Compton and Logan Jeffries controlled the edges. When the Cougars went to the air CB’s Justin Cyrus and Timmy Yager as well as FS Michael Ford were there to contest every pass. The Hilltoppers physically pounded the Cougars all day and LB’s Logan Jeffries and Nick Oristanio delivered big shots to Cougar ball carriers, while DE’s Spenser Huston and Michael Negron were relentless in there pursuit and registered many tackles for loss. The game remained scoreless into the 4th qtr and Chatham had the ball at midfield when they dropped back to pass, but the game changed when DE Michael Negron came hard charging off the edge and delivered a crushing blind side hit to force a fumble from the Cougar QB. The Hilltoppers recovered and mounted a short drive that ended at the 8 yard line when QB Chett Joffe was forced out of bounds after a nice gain on a bootleg in which he was escorted by pulling G Joe Lenz who delivered a nice block that almost sprung Joffe into the endzone. On 4th down the Hilltoppers called on CB/K Timmy Yager to deliver the points and kicking from the right hash and into the heavy wind he connected and delivered the points with a 25 yard FG and the Hilltoppers had a 3 - 0 lead. With time an issue and needing to move down field quickly the Cougars went to the air. First they tested CB Timmy Yager with a deep pass, but he and FS Michael Ford were there to defend. The next Hilltopper defender to be tested was OLB Logan Jeffries on a pass into the flat, but they were denied when he stepped in front, intercepted and returned it for a TD. After CB/K Timmy Yager converted the extra point the scoring was closed out on another Hilltopper victory at 11 - 0. With the victory the Hilltoppers closed out an undefeated regular season which earned them a first round playoff bye. Their next league game will be home at Tatlock on Sunday November 12th at 1:30 pm vs the winner of the 1st round match-up on Sunday November 5th. Congratulations and good luck in the playoffs. |

Union |
Won 24 - 8, The annual 8th grade game between the Summit Hilltoppers and Union Farmers was a tightly contested game for the 1st half with the Hilltoppers and Farmers battling it out. QB Chett Joffe didn’t have a great game throwing the ball against an aggressive Farmer defense, but 3 of the balls that he did complete came on great grabs by RB Ryan Hislop, TE Jackson Stuckey and WR Tony Masterfano. Hislop made a nice leaping grab of a ball down the left sideline, while Stuckey’s came on a crossing route where he was upended and managed to hang on the ball and Masterfano’s came on deep ball that was a little off, but he made a nice adjustment to fight off the Farmer defender for the catch. Joffe may not have had a great passing day, but he did a very nice job of managing the game and the Hilltopper running attack in which HB Ryan Hislop and FB Peter Badgley managed to run through large holes provided by C Max Munoz, G’s Joe Lenz and Nick Oristanio, T’s Spenser Huston and Logan Jeffries as well as T Austin Jennings. The Hilltoppers jumped on top when QB Chett Joffe scored on QB draw from the 1 yard line and when CB/K Timmy Yager added the extra point the Hilltoppers had a 7 - 0 lead. However, the lead didn’t last long as the Farmers got back in the game with a 60 yard TD run and when they added on the 2 pt conversion they had the lead and for the only the 2nd time all year the Hilltoppers were behind at 8 - 7, which is where it stayed until the half. The Hilltoppers came out for the 2nd half and went to their no-huddle attack on offense and managed to put together a nice drive in which a confused and tired Farmer defense couldn’t adjust. QB Chett Joffe took it in from the 1 yard line once again for his 2nd rushing TD of the night and CB/K Timmy Yager added the extra point for 14 - 7 Hilltopper lead. The Hilltopper defense came up big once again with huge plays by DE’s Spenser Huston and Michael Negron as well as DT Jerome Madrigal. LB’s Joe Lenz and Nick Oristanio had numerous tackles for loss and Oristanio made a great stop when he filled the hole nicely on a 4th down play to kill a Farmer drive. CB/K Timmy Yager added another interception to his ever growing total to set up another Hilltopper drive and Joffe after directing a short drive rolled out to the left after a play action fake from the 5 yard line and hit TE Jackson Stuckey for the final Hilltopper TD. DT Brendan Higgins attempting his 1st career extra point added the point and the Hilltoppers had a 21 - 8 lead. On the ensuing kickoff the Farmers fumbled, which LB George Campbell recovered and when the drive stalled CB/K Timmy Yager assumed his roll as kicker and added the 22 yard FG for a 24 - 8 lead, which closed out the scoring on another Hilltopper win.

Conference Championship |
Won Summit 32 - Chatham 6, In a matchup of Division foes the Summit Hilltoppers and Chatham Cougars squared off for the 2nd time in 3 weeks with the Conference title and a birth in the Super Bowl riding on the game. The Cougars jumped out to an early lead when they connected on a TD pass that was just out of the reach of CB Timmy Yager, but the score remained 6 - 0, when the extra point was missed. The Hilltoppers never panicked and QB Chett Joffe directed nice drive with a mix of run and pass that led to a TD run by HB Ryan Hislop and with the extra point added on by CB/K Timmy Yager the Hilltopers had an 8 - 6 lead. The Hilltoppers then added 2 more scores before the half and went to the half with a 24 - 6 lead. On this day the Hilltoppers offense was led by the dominating performance of their offensive line T’s Spenser Huston and Logan Jeffries, G’s Nick Oristanio and Joe Lenz and C Max Munoz all provided huge running lanes for Hilltopper ball carriers all day, which led to 4 rushing TD’s on the day - 3 by HB Ryan Hislop and 1 by FB Peter Badgley. Probably the signature play of the day which showed how dominating the Hiltoppers were up front was a play from their single back set with FB Peter Badgley as the single back when he took the handoff and hit the line between RG Joe Lenz and RT Logan Jeffries he just completely ran through a Cougar linebacker that tried to fill the hole and ended up with a nice 15 yard run. Although the running game was where the scoring came from the passing game set up the TD’s and QB Chett Joffe hit TE Jackson Stuckey with a pass on one scoring drive and on two others hit WR Tony Masterfano on 2 long completions where he was brought down at the 1 yard line on both, but the Hilltoppers managed to cash in on both with TD runs. The Hilltoppers went to the half with a 24 - 6 lead and the Cougars were pretty much done for the day. The second half started out much the way the 1st half ended when on the first play out of shotgun formation QB Chett Joffe faked a handoff to FB Peter Badgley and ran around the right end following the lead block of pulling G Joe Lenz and had a nice 20 yard pick up, which lead to another score and with Yager’s extra point the score was 32 - 6. The Cougars needing to get back in the game in a hurry and realizing the were having no success running the ball tried the air and felt the need to test CB Timmy Yager again, which this time turned out the Hilltopper way as Yager stepped in and intercepted the ball. The Hilltoppers defense which also forced 3 fumbles on the day was dominating throughout the day with numerous tackles for loss by DE’s Michael Negron and Spenser Huston who did play a lot of the game as a DT. The other T spot which was manned by a rotation of Austin Jennings, Michael Stewart and Jerome Madrigal all played extremely well and were supported strongly by MLB’s Joe Lenz, Nick Oristanio as well as OLB’s Chris Thomson and Sam Compton. The final was 32 - 6 on another Hilltoper victory who now face the winner of the American Conference in the Super Bowl at 12pm on Sunday in Westfield |
Won 14-8. After giving up a touchdown on New Providence's opening drive Summit's defense settled down and gave up minimal yards the rest of the game. The dominating defensive line of Phillip Jefferson (10 tackles), Geron Crawford, Stefano Stadlinger (12 tackles), Kyle Codey, Hany Castenada, Harry McCreary and Billy Hadley was supported by stifling linebackers of Ben Ballintyn (9 tackles), Kohl Geibel (6 tackles), Alex Fiorito (12 tackles), Matt Miller and Thomas Lackaye (3 tackles). The DH eliminated NP's passing with an interception by Johnny Shaffer and support from Brendan Wood (4 tackles), Eric Wood and Jamie Ogden.

SUPER BOWL |
Won 16 - 12 Playing in Westfield The Hilltoppers defeated the Westfield Blue Devils to capture the Super Bowl Championship. After falling behind 6 - 0 on the Blue Devils opening drive of the game the Hilltoppers gathered their composure and went to work. QB and Game MVP Chett Joffe flawlessly handled a drive with a nice mix of his running and passing. He hit HB Ryan Hislop on a nice swing pass into the left flat for a big gainer that set up Joffe’s first TD pass of the day to WR Tony Masterfano, who made a great leaping grab in the back of the endzone over a Blue Devil defender and with CB/K Timmy Yager’s conmversion the Hilltoppers had an 8 - 0 lead. The defense put together a nice series with tackles for loss by DE Michael Negron, DT Michael Stewart and LB Nick Oristanio. When the Hillotppers got the ball back QB Chett Joffe directed a nice drive once again where on the drive he hit a streaking Timmy Yager who was playing WR with a great ball over the middle in the seam on a post route which set the Hilltoppers up deep in Blue Devil territory. From there Joffe, after a nice little play fake rolled right and found TE Jackson Stuckey in the endzone for TD and with Yager’s conversion the Hilltoppers had a 16 - 6 lead at the half. After a scoreless 3rd quarter The Blue Devils determined to get back in the game went to the air and ended up scoring on a TD pass that made the score 16 - 12, but LB Joe Lenz blocked the ensuing extra point and the score remained 16 - 12. The Hilltoppers got the ball back and tried to kill the clock, but QB Chett Joffe was pushed out of bounds just short of the 1st down marker and they were forced to punt. Westfield mounted a furious drive in the closing minutes and ended up deep in Hilltopper territory. The Summit fans must have been really concerned, because it appeared that the game was over by the scoreboard clock on more than a few occasions - but the official time is kept on the field and the coaches and players were well aware of how much time was left. Westfield had 2 last plays to try and win the game, but CB Timmy Yager broke on a deep out route and just got a piece of the ball to bat it away. On the final play a late defensive replacement FS Jackson Stuckey batted down the last pass attempt to seal the victory, an undefeated season and the Super Bowl Championship for the Hilltoppers. This was an extremely successful season for Summit Youth Football and we wish these young men good luck in their High School careers and we look forward to seeing them win Championships for the High School. |
