NEW BRUNSWICK – The Zebras of New Brunswick High School couldn’t overcome nine penalties and two turnovers, including a fumble near the goal line in the first quarter, in Friday night’s season-opening 28-0 football loss to Freehold Borough.
New Brunswick was in position to take an early lead after it pounced on a loose ball on the Colonials’ 7. A bouncing punt had touched a Freehold Borough return man and was recovered by a Zebra defender.
Junior Jabril Bright sparked the drive with runs of 15 and 12 yards, and Zi’youn Brown added a 7-yard run.
The drive stalled on the Colonials’ 24 when Brown was stopped on a 4-yard run on a fourth-and-6 play.
The Zebras, who will host Plainfield on Friday, Sept. 6, fell behind Friday at Memorial Stadium when Quamire Everrett returned a punt 45 yards with 2:43 left in the first quarter.
Everrett then scored on a 44-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, and Damier Lester scored on a 61-yard punt return to make it 21-0 with 10:45 to play.
Amir Smith capped the scoring with a 23-yard touchdown run as the Colonials gave Derek Reichenbecher the victory in his first game as coach of the Shore Conference Class B North Division team.
