RESULTS
ALL-TIME RECORD: North leads 21-21-2
2025 - South19 , North 18
The South defeated the North 19–18 in the 47th Phil Simms North-South High School All-Star Football Classic at Kean University, earning its first win since 2018. The North led twice in the second half, including on a 63-yard touchdown pass from North QB Charlie LaMorte, who earned North Offensive MVP despite throwing three interceptions. The South sealed the victory when safety Khajauan “Peaky” Rosborough intercepted LaMorte at the South 10-yard line on the final play. South QB Owen O’Toole scored the game-winning touchdown on a fourth-and-goal run with 1:45 remaining, though replay images suggested his knee was down before the goal line.
The game featured numerous penalties, multiple interceptions, and several touchdowns called back. South players Derek Anderson and Bryan Anderson earned Offensive and Defensive MVP honors, respectively. With the result, the all-time series is now tied 21-21-2.
2024 - North 20, South 18
North holds to win 43rd Phil Simms North/South All-Star Football Classic. While the South trimmed a 14-point deficit down to two, the North defense, rose to the occasion. On a 1-yard QB sneak by Point Pleasant Boro’s Matt Oliphant with 2:06 remaining, the south needed 2 points to tie the game.
Rather than go for the tie, the South instead decided to go for three and the win. The South never had a real chance as Myles Hamilton of Linden exploded off the edge and was the first of three North defenders (joining Jesse Wilfong and Trumain Lawson) to swarm QB Jacob Zamot to force the incomplete pass well short of the endzone. Given the ball on the South 40 after Kessel’s deflection on the onside kick play, the North officially put the game away two plays later when Orange QB Maurice Williams Jr. faked a handoff, broke two tackles behind the line of scrimmage and raced down the left side for an 18-yard gain and a first down with 1:46 left.
2023 - North 10, South 6
Rutherford quarterback Van Weber, whose touchdown pass to Jefferson’s Travis Osterhout late in the third quarter proved to be the winner, was named offensive MVP of the victorious North. Seton Hall Prep’s Jordon McAllister – New Hampshire-bound this fall – was named defensive MVP for the North. A.L. Johnson kicker Brett Makowsky connected on a 27-yard field goal. Speedy Burlington City back Aaron Young and Zahir Davis-Roberts of Oakcrest were named offensive and defensive MVP’s for the South Jersey squad, respectively.
2022 - North 21, South 16
Quarterback Cael Zebrowski (Verona) would find Nick Dunneman (Seton Hall Prep) on a 50-yard bomb to bring the North to the South 10-yard line on the ensuing drive. Two plays later, Zebrowski found Dominick Verducci (Parsippany Hills) for a score on a screen pass, extending the edge to 21-10. South fought back. With 2:14 left, Cole Kozlowski (Manasquan) would catch a touchdown pass of 16-yards from Matt Welsey (Shawnee) to cut the South’s deficit to 21-16 after a failed two-point attempt. The South would get one more chance to take the lead, but Rahway’s Zaon Laney intercepted a pass to seal the victory for the North.
