\"\"<\/a>The NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 title game game started in about the sloppiest and most bizarre fashion possible, with three straight turnovers, four in the first five plays and then a 94-yard touchdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And somehow, the game had an even crazier ending.<\/span><\/p>\n

North Hunterdon<\/a>\u00a0overcame turnovers and a long\u00a0Phillipsburg<\/a>\u00a0touchdown early with quarterback\u00a0Matt Busher<\/a>\u00a0and wide receiver Jared McMahon connecting for a slew of incredible passes to come from behind in a 21-20 victory at MetLife Stadium on Saturday for the second state title in program history and the first since 1975.<\/span><\/p>\n
