Somerville’s Dylan Boehm is the Week 3 BCC Football Player of the Week

The Somerville sophomore quarterback threw five TD during the Pioneers victory over Watchung Hills. He’s the Football Player of the Week for Week 3.

Somerville High School football team secured a 3-1 record after a dominant 55-24 victory over Watchung Hills. Sophomore quarterback Dylan Boehm has been instrumental in their success. Boehm, a second-year starter, has effectively utilized a roster filled with talented players, like senior Justin Bowan and junior James Hampton, driving the attack to an impressive 40.8 points per game, ranking second in the Big Central Conference behind Elizabeth.

Following a 54-point win over North Hunterdon the previous week, Boehm shone against the Liberty Silver Division opponent Watchung Hills, completing 18 of 25 passes for 362 yards and scoring five touchdowns. This performance earned him a spot on the Player of the Week ballot, which he ultimately won. Boehm, who threw for 1,449 yards last season, has completed 60 of 103 passes this year, totaling 987 yards, along with 10 touchdowns and just one interception.

"Dylan has done a great job of orchestrating the offense and distributing the ball to our playmakers," stated Pioneers coach Matt Bloom. "He is a player we can count on to make plays and make great decisions. He gets better and more confident every week, and that is reflected in the results."
