Chris Parler can score from anywhere on the field. The do-it-all sophomore is an explosion of speed and power whether it is on special teams, offense or defense. He is one of the reasons why they're pining to see Friday night's 7:30 p.m. showdown of unbeatens when Garden City travels to Long Beach in a Nassau II football game.
The Garden City defense, led by Scott D'Antonio, has the difficult task of stopping the top-scoring offense in the conference. Trojans quarterback Brett Stewart has 10 scoring passes.
All regions will have the opportunity to watch Paramus Catholic, the No. 6 ranked team in the MSG Varsity Tri-State polls, when it travels to No. 2 Don Bosco, in Friday Night Football on Cablevision's Channel 14 Friday night at 7 p.m. Tri-State first teamer Jabrill Peppers, who transferred from Bosco to Paramus Catholic this fall, returns home in a game that is sure to be filled with emotion.
