KJS Secure State Championship Title

“A Season to Remember: KJS Secure State Championship Title”

 by Clara De Leon 

After the boys faced West Milford this past Thursday in Mennen Arena, they were determined to let their winning streak continue. KJS declared victory against Marlboro High School at Prudential Center’s NJSIAA Public Championship Games March 10th after a close match resulting in a score of 4 to 3. 

With goals made by Sophomore Braydon Sisco, saves by Senior Brian Sisti and assists by Sophomore Eddy Brown, KJS proved they weren’t leaving without a fight. As the game continued, tensions only advanced as the score tied periods 1 and 2. Following the third period however, the game only furthered as Marlboro HS scored a goal resulting in a score of 3 to 4. Nevertheless, KJS was able to hold their team down and achieve incredible success. Sisco, Sophomore at KHS, shared that “tensions were high” the last few minutes of the game and the sensation he experienced was “unreal”. Sisco was able to score two goals in the 3rd period ultimately resulting in KJS’ win. 

Captains, Eddy Brown and Cormac Gibbons were also able to motivate their team by simply “making sure that everyone is as excited as they can be”. Cormac Gibbons, Junior at SHS, claimed that he “always tries to keep spirits and morale up” and attributed the team’s attitude towards their success. Alongside this ultimate motivation KJS utilizes, many players on the team felt surreal after achieving such a high standing title. Patrick Donnelly, Senior at SHS, shared that knowing how much work and time he put in this season made this win truly “a perfect way to end my senior year”. However, many of the players still have the rest of their high school careers ahead of them. Sisco is excited to see what the team can accomplish and hopes to “take another one home”.
