Westwood rips off three unanswered touchdowns to take out Pascack Valley!

Sophomore QB Bruno Vega broke a 7-7 tie with this winding 49-yard TD run and Boston College commit Steve Klein calls game with another rushing score to seal a 21-7 win.

[Jersey Sports Zone @JSZ_Sports]

Westwood and Pascack Valley feature two of the state's best overall players and they did not disappoint in an all-public Bergen County slobberknocker. The Cardinals defended their home turf in style to begin the year 2-0.

After a great conversation this afternoon with @Coach_Thakkar and @CoachPMcGowan I am blessed to have received an offer from @FootballBentley

[Westwood Cardinals Football @WestwoodCardsFB]

It’s difficult to put into words to the love we have for Coach Z. He has touched the lives of so many. Not just in Westwood but anywhere he went. He was the most genuine person to be around. There’s no better example of toughness and grit. We love you Z!

[Steve Baez @CoachBaez3]

RIP to one of most influential coaches in Jersey Sports. Coach Z was the definition of battling adversity and being mentally tough. No matter what it took, he showed up to practice every day ready to work. Will never forget the life lessons he taught us as players.

[Varsity Aces @VarsityAces]

The North Jersey football community has lost a true Icon with the death of coach John Zisa.
Zisa broke his neck in a swimming accident in 1980. He went on to work as an assistant at Pat. Catholic, PC, Westwood & Wayne Valley, inspiring generations.
We send our best to his family.
