Miceli threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters to lead unbeaten Old Tappan, ranked No. 1 in the North Jersey Public Super 20 and No. 4 in the USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey Super 25.
Miceli threw first-half TDs of 60 and 50 yards to senior receiver Leo Etter and a 27-yard score to senior running back Nick Blanchard to help Old Tappan (10-0) build a 29-7 halftime lead.
“We’ve got some guys who are dangerous kids in the pass game, and our quarterback is obviously who he is,” Old Tappan coach Brian Dunn said of the three-year starter.
Blanchard scored on third-quarter runs of 1 and 12 yards to extend the Golden Knights’ lead to 43-7 and trigger the running clock.
