By the numbers: Ramapo’s Magerko was 18-of-26 for 176 yards and showed good poise in his first varsity start.  Gorga was the workhorse with 91 yards on 26 carries and had both touchdowns. Seyffer had five catches for 93 yards from the tight end spot. For West Orange, Lewis was 11-of-26 for 203 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. Israel Giles had a strong game on the ground with 11 carries for 116 yards. Mishoe caught five passes for 129 yards and both Mountaineer TDs.

NOTES- Ramapo travels to Old Tappan next week. The Raiders may have the toughest schedule in the state, with additional games against Ridgewood, Union City, Passaic Tech, Northern Highlands, Wayne Valley and Wayne Hills…West Orange will look to bounce back when it hosts neighboring Livingston next Friday night back in Suriano Stadium….Thursday night’s season opener was delayed for 15 minutes early in the third quarter when the stadium lights went dark.
