Paul Albus was one of those guys liked by everybody. To those he was friends with he was a good friend and a lot of fun to be around. He also was a very good offensive football player for Ridgewood - both as a receiver and a running back. I thought I'd share some of his stats.
For the 1972 Season (Senior year Championship Season):
Paul Led the team with 441 yards rushing averaging 4.9 yards a carry and scored 24 points rushing.
Paul had 7 receptions for 85 yards and 6 points.
He led the varsity team with 5 touchdowns for a total of 30 points.
He made All-League Honrable Mention.
He also made All-Suburban 2nd Team.
In his last career game, it was a big one. Ridgewood would clinch the NNJIL title on Thanksgiving Day against Fair Lawn. Paul rushed for 108 yards in that game and scored Ridgewood's only touchdown. A safety would seal the deal for Ridgewood in a hard fought, cold game with a score of 9-7.
#22 was fun to watch!
