A four touchdown performance from senior Jon Ciccone wasn't enough as the West Morris football team failed to stop unbeaten Sparta (9-0) on Friday night, falling 37-27 in the regular season finale in Sparta.

Despite the loss, West Morris (7-2) remains the top seed in the North 2, Group III tournament and is scheduled to receive a bye in the first round.

In addition to his four touchdowns, Ciccone rumbled for 112 yards on 17 carries, according to NJ.com, while West Morris quarterback John Gutowski was 9 of 17 for 118 yards, and running back Jason Mackewicz finished with 61 yards on 12 carries.
