On This Date: 1996
Ten years ago today, Morris Knolls defeated Malcolm X. Shabazz 36-20 to capture their third straight NJ state title. Last month I found this picture in my parents’ basement and borrowed a scanner from my in-laws’ garage. The crazy looking guy numbered 50 is me.
Ten years ago tomorrow, this photo ran on the front page of The Star Ledger. Golden Eagle historians will recognize Bryan Pojanowski’s head behind my left shoulder. Poj was LaDainian Tomlinson before LaDainian Tomlinson (Poj is four months older), and far more deserving of full color ink. Over my right shoulder is Hemal Patel, whose five pass deflections in the previous playoff game helped get us back to Giants Stadium.
Surprised this isn’t getting more press.

Great pic. Photoshop the Bud Light ad and it could easily be from 1978.
