Hilltoppers win second straight state crown and eighth overall.

The Summit High football team capped an undefeated season Friday night by holding off Parsippany Hills 16-13 in the North Jersey Section 2, Group 3 championship game at Kean University.

The Hilltoppers (12-0) grabbed a 16-6 halftime lead before thwarting the Vikings' second-half rally. Par Hills had one last chance, but on fourth-and-12 with less than two minutes remaining, Summit intercepted the ball in the end zone.

Summit captured its second straight state sectional title and eighth overall.
