Hamilton West enters this home matchup at 1-1 overall. It comes off a 28-21 victory against West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North/South on Sept. 21.

Hamilton West offensively has been leaning on its rushing attack with junior Kevin Boswell leading the ground game with 357 yards and four touchdowns.

The passing game has been guided by junior quarterback Mike Nielsen, who this season has 65 yards passing through the air.

Junior wide receiver Isaac Young has helped bolster the offense by collected two receptions for 33 yards.
