10-0 run bridging first and second quarters spurs on visiting team
UNION – Arch rival Union had it going on early, scoring the game’s first five points, taking the ball away time and time again and going strong to the hoop. The host Farmers looked more than up to the challenge of being the first team to knock off undefeated Elizabeth. A little more than six […]
UNION – With the stinging memory of falling by a wide margin in the finals last year still in his head, Brearley sophomore wrestler Patrick Phillips just wanted to stay true to himself. Phillips figured that if he was able to execute his strategy – which consisted of pushing offense, being always on his toes, […]
Battle scores 26, Tanksley 20 for visiting Vikings; Price leads host Minutemen with 21
ELIZABETH – For many years the Elizabeth Dunn Sport Center rocked as it served as the center of the universe for upper echelon boys’ basketball in the state of New Jersey. Then for some time the Dunn Center was, well, done. The Union County Tournament, in addition to other showcase matchups, moved over to Kean […]
The Elizabeth boys’ basketball team, which sports an 8-0 record, is one win away from reaching nine wins for the first time since finishing 18-7 in 2012-2013.

The Bulldogs kept on missing. Dayton misfired on its first seven field goal attempts before senior starter Jaykwaan […]
Stravach scores 12, Dobosiewicz 11; Encarnacion finishes with 13, Hanner held to 5
ROSELLE – How does a team go into an opposing gym and not only come away with a hard-fought victory, but perform the task in totally dominating fashion? It starts with defense and not allowing the best players on the other side from making a difference. It continues with swarming to the ball and continually […]
Senior center Ruka paces Cougars offensively with 15 points, including 3 second half 3-pointers
CRANFORD – Although Cranford came back from being down by eight late in the first quarter to – after the game’s third and final deadlock – building a seven-point lead of its own with just a little over a minute to go before the half, there was still something missing in its game. Cranford ended […]
Santarelli scores 5 for Cranford, while teammate Pringle pulls down 10 rebounds, blocks 2 shots
NEW PROVIDENCE – The home team’s effort during the game’s first eight minutes gave absolutely no indication of how it was going to perform once the contest continued. Although the host Pioneers limited visiting Cranford to just one field goal in the first quarter, they found themselves trailing by one. Both teams were able to […]
Linden wrestling goes back a bit more than 50 years. Roselle Park wrestling goes back even further – the mid-1930s – with the Panthers being one of only four programs in the country (and just two in New Jersey, Paulsboro being the other) to accumulate 1,000 wins. Roselle Park has been the gold standard in […]
