It will be the Mariners third consecutive trip the state finals, this time with a chance for a three-peat.
They match up against Union City, a team coming off a 42-0 route of East Orange in its semifinal game. The setting will be MetLife Stadium Nov. 29.
The uber-talented roster is led by a suffocating, ball-hawking defense, a number of two-way skill position players, and quarterback TJ Valerio (right), who threw for 212 yards and three touchdowns during the Group 5 semifinal victory.
Best of luck to the Mariners in their unprecedented quest for a state title three-peat!
