Matt Thies of Caldwell threw a pair of touchdown passes for the East. Isaiah Scott of West Orange won defensive MVP honors for the East, and Zach Jones of Montclair returned a blocked field goal 80 yards for a score. Ryan Love of West Milford caught eight passes for 63 yards and a touchdown to be named offensive MVP for the West, which includes Morris, Sussex and western Passaic Counties.
