Offensive center, defensive tackle playing well for Warriors.
Facing a top notch program like Immaculata High of Somerville last Friday wasn't easy for Watchung Hills Regional High School two-way lineman Anthony Rizzolo.

Indeed, the 6-foot-1, 300-pound Rizzolo has more than done OK this season, excelling on both the offensive line as a center and on the defensive line as a tackle. Rizzolo and his teammates will be back in action Thursday at 4 p.m. when Watchung…
