SUMMIT-LINDEN, NJ — As reported by https://unionnewsdaily.com/ After losing first-round playoff games on the road two years ago, the Linden and Summit high school football teams took a step back last year and did not qualify. For Summit, it was the first time since 2008.
Both made up for not making the grade by participating in the first-ever Regional Invitational Tournaments for teams that did not make the playoffs.
Summit defeated Governor Livingston High School in overtime and Pascack Valley High School to capture the first North, Group 3 RIT.
Linden bested Barringer and Bergenfield high schools to win the first North, Group 4 RIT crown and finish an even .500 at 5-5.
