From Rancocas Valley’s opening drive, which took all of about two minutes, it was clear that the Southern Regional football team was in trouble.

“We were shell-shocked,” said head coach Chuck Donohue, whose Rams had their season end on Nov. 11 following a 43-6 loss in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group V playoffs. “We knew we were facing some speed, and I was scared to death of their screens. But we looked nervous and very uptight right from the start.”
