Vikings Back on The Road Friday Night

South Brunswick High School football will hit the road on Friday for a showdown with 1-4 Middletown North High School.

After recapturing their mojo with a blowout victory on homecoming weekend last Friday, South Brunswick High School will look to continue their winning ways on the road Friday night. 

The 5-1 Vikings will travel to Middletown North High School tonight to take on the 1-4 Lions. SBHS will look for its second straight win after suffering their first loss of the season in a 47-14 loss at Piscataway two weeks ago. The Vikes rebounded at home with a 35-7 win over JP Stevens last Friday.

"This was a challenge game," said South Brunswick Head Coach Joe Goerge. "We had to see how the team would react after last week. Adding to the challenge was the fact JP Stevens scored on its first possession. The guys responded."
