And we don’t mean the steady lineup of planes that fly directly over Eddie Moraes Stadium en route to nearby Liberty International Airport.We’re speaking here of junior receiver Jakem Brown, sophomore quarterback Xavier Smith and many of the other young, fast and determined Newark East Side players who have the Red Raiders doing things this program has not in almost 50 years.
Smith completed 9 of just 14 passes, junior Gershom Thompson carried eight times for 73 yards and a TD, and East Side’s defense shut out Cliffside Park in the second half to lift the Raiders to 6-0, marking the first time since 1975 that this long-struggling program has won six games. East Side also clinched at least a tie for the Ivy White Division title with this victory.
“They work hard, and they’re still young and developing. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens from here,” third-year head coach Damon Harrison said. But there will be no NJSIAA playoffs this year for East Side, even though it has outscored opponents, 259-59, with a lineup heavily populated by underclassmen, such as Smith, Brown, Thompson and sophomore Jaquan McBride, who scored the Raiders’ final TD of the night with a 29-yard run with 5:26 remaining.
