Northern Highlands is currently in better shape, but still has work left to do to reach the postseason for the first time since 2013.
Last year, the Highlanders, who finished 9th in power points in North 1, Group 4, were briefly allowed entry into the dance – after the fallout from the Wayne Hills transfer controversy – before the NJSIAA ultimately ruled in favor of Wayne Hills and bounced Northern Highlands back out.
A win tonight for Northern Highlands, which currently sits in the No. 5 spot in North 1, Group 4, could go a long way toward their playoff dreams.
Last year, Northern Highlands started 4-0 before a four-game losing streak derailed their season, including a 28-19 loss to Mahwah during that stretch.
