GLEN ROCK – Joey Filippone hugged his dad, Joe, after following in his cleats by bringing Hanover Park a sectional football title.
Filippone and Hanover Park captured the program’s second sectional title – and first since his dad’s team won in 1990 – with a 24-3 win over Glen Rock in Friday’s North 2, Group 2 final.
Filippone, a senior, caught an 11-yard TD pass from senior quarterback Joey Borrello late in the third quarter to give Hanover Park (9-2) its 24-3 lead.
Filippone’s TD came after top-seeded Glen Rock (9-2) cut the deficit to 17-3 on a 34-yard field goal by senior Mike Flaccavento.
Hanover Park led at halftime, 14-0. Borrello threw a 57-yard TD pass to junior Jack Kovacs in the first quarter, and Borrello scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter.
Hanover Park parlayed the second-kickoff into a 17-0 lead on a 21-yard field goal by senior Ryan Galioto. It was set up by Filippone’s kickoff return to the Glen Rock 34-yard line.
