Freshman’s OT goal helps No. 3 Scotch Plains-Fanwood hold off Ridgewood in G4 semis

Aavik Akarte might not have much experience on the big stage, but he made his time count.
Akarte started the season on Scotch Plains-Fanwood’s freshman team before moving up to junior varsity and was a late call-up for the Raiders, No. 3 in the NJ.com Top 20, when they inserted him into the lineup entering the state playoffs.
