Are you ready for some football? Lancers and Bulldogs are!

It is now Sunday night and Week 3 of the local high school football season is still not completely in the books.
After rain-washed away Friday nights contests between West Milford and West Side, Kinnelon and Montclair Kimberly Academy and Lakeland and Butler it seemed like the local football fans would have a full slate of games to watch on Sunday afternoon.
In West Milford the Highlanders improved to 2-1 on the season as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead then held on to beat the Roughriders 21-12.
In Montclair (the Colts game was changed from a home game to an away game) Kinnelon scored early and often as they beat MKA 40-7.
Meanwhile in Butler the only winner was the poor field conditions. Due to a water soaked field the Bulldogs and Lancers had to put their game off for another 25 hours.
The two NHC rivals will now take to the field at 3:00 p.m. on Monday but like their neighboring Colts the Bulldogs will lose a home game to field conditions as the game will now be played at Lakeland.
This weekend’s poor weather has also caused havoc on next week’s local football schedule. In one of the more anticipated games of the season, the Lancers were set to host the Delbarton Green Wave on Friday night.
Since the Lancers will be playing a game on Monday, Friday night’s game has been moved to Saturday night to give the Lancers an extra day of preparation.
