UNION – It’s now been 20 years since the Farmers have won a state championship. None of the present players were even born yet when Union last captured North 2, Group 4 for a record 10th time in 1993. It’s been 10 years since the Farmers reached a state championship game. Union played in the […]
RAHWAY – The only thing the Indians have not achieved yet under head coach Gary Mobley is posing in front of a trophy in the middle of a field the first weekend in December.

The Linden football team is in a section other than North 2, Group 4 for the first time in a quarter of a century. The Tigers have not won a state championship since 1985.
