The crowd at the match was big and more hype than expected. A lot of the ones sitting in the stands were cheering for the Pero brothers. The coaches were getting aggravated at the player who struggle to respond to their directions. It was a stressful game filled with tons of yelling. Sternesky said, ” We could have beaten Sayreville but we threw a stinker” .The Patriot’s record for this year is now 3-4.
