PHILLIPSBURG — Phillipsburg could have been completely derailed when star running back Joe Green went out with an injury on Friday on the first drive against North Hunterdon, and one of the most anticipated games of the season could have lost some of its luster.
But Green’s absence simply set the stage for other Stateliners to provide heroics.

Congratulations to the Vikings of Voorhees by defeating the Lions of North Hunterdon in their second Unified Sports Soccer game 5-2 hosted by Voorhees High School.
The Vikings were led by the dominating strong-footed play of Bruce Fujihuara who scored 4 goals. Other Viking contributors were: Jacob Sawyer who had 1 goal and William Lyons who had 1 save.
The Lions were led by the fleet-footed play of Katie Higgins and Clare Sturges who each scored a goal apiece. Katie also had 4 big saves in the box.
The Vikings and Lions will play again in the Unified Cup School Soccer Championship at Mercer County Park in West Windsor, NJ. Good Luck to both teams!
The big Non-Public powerhouses in North Jersey get plenty of attention, and the top squads in South Jersey do as well. But West Jersey football has been strong all season, and that culminates with the NJ.com/Star-Ledger Game of the Week for Week 8 with a pair of undefeated teams facing off — No. 16 Phillipsburg and North Hunterdon.
It’s a battle for West Jersey supremacy, a Mid-State 38 showdown after which the winner will likely find itself in the NJ.com Top 20 and the loser will have its first loss of the season. But even more than that, it’s a potential preview of the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 final — if the season ended today, North Hunterdon would have the top seed and Phillipsburg would have the second.

While the situations might seem frenetic and tense, for Matt Busher they’re no different than fishing for bass with his buddies on a hazy summer afternoon. Mr. Cool at quarterback simply goes about his business like it’s no big deal, focusing in the moment.
Three weeks ago, Busher helped North Hunterdon High School rally from 21 down in the fourth quarter to beat power Bridgewater-Raritan. Last Friday against Hillsborough, Busher connected with Griffin Honthy for a 52-yard touchdown with 11.4 seconds left for a 38-31 win to remain unbeaten.
So the Lions had to drive 62 yards with 31.3 seconds left in a 31-31 game — no big deal.
“It kind of felt like we were just going on another drive,” Busher said, “and it was just another play because making plays like that is something that we do all game.”
The dream season just keeps rolling for the Lions and Busher, who threw for 288 yards with three touchdowns and 94 rushing yards and two more scores against Hillsborough.
It’s all been working. The 6-foot, 187-pounder has thrown for 1,601 yards and completed 53 percent of his 164 passes with 356 rushing yards. In 2016, he threw for 1,386 yards and rushed for 594. For all his football glory, he’ll be pitching next season at Old Dominion University. While baseball and football are clearly different, he’s able to draw some similarities between the sports.
For one, football has helped build his arm strength in baseball. He also enjoys controlling the pace and the energy of the game. A bulldog. Instead of a table setter, he’s like a tone setter.
Mazzetta said, “He’s confident, but he’s not overconfident. He stays grounded.”
