Former Barnegat High School football star Sean Morris saw his dream season at Holy Cross College come to an end Saturday with a 42-21 loss at South Dakota State in the second round of the NCAA Division 1 Football Championship subdivision playoffs.

A senior, Morris is the starting tight end for the Crusaders, who were the No. 8 seed and in the prior week beat New Hampshire, 35-19. But South Dakota State was the No. 1 seed, and two seasons ago, it defeated Holy Cross, 31-3.
