Mike Collodi has preached a fast, physical style of play since he began his coaching tenure at Elizabeth Forward in 2015.
And it’s clear his message resonates with his players.

EF (5-2, 4-2), which entered the game having suffered back-to-back road losses at Derry Area and North Catholic, used a stellar defensive effort to smother the Vikings (3-5, 2-4), limiting them to 109 total yards.
