BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Bloomfield High School football team is getting ready for the state sectional playoffs.

The sixth-seeded Bengals will visit third-seeded East Orange Campus (7-1 overall record) in the quarterfinals of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association’s North Jersey, Section 1, Group 5 state playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 1 p.m. at Paul Robeson Stadium in East Orange. 

The Bengals are looking to avenge a 34-6 loss at East Orange Campus in Week 5 back on Oct. 3 in a Super Football Conference–Freedom Red Division game.

Bloomfield lost to West Orange 46-0 on Friday, Oct. 24, at Foley Field in the final regular-season game to move to a 5-4 record. West Orange – the top seed in North 1, Group 5 – improved to 7-2 and clinched the divisional title for the third straight season.

Bloomfield senior Tyler Frantantoni was honored as the Bengals’ nominee for the Steve DiGregorio Young Man of the Year Award. Joining Frantantoni are his parents and Bloomfield head coach Mike Carter, far right.
