Panthers, who had 2-game winning streak snapped and fell to 6-3, scored one run in the 6th
ROSELLE PARK – Sometimes a baseball game can be over after just one inning. That’s if one team has a pitcher who is capable of dominating a lineup right from the start. Give that pitcher four runs in the top of the first and the home team is in big trouble immediately. That was the […]
Still seeking that elusive first Union County Tournament championship, the Governor Livingston baseball team is making a strong case to earn the top seed for the second straight season when the 62nd event is put together next week. It took nine innings against a scrappy Union team that is better than its record to win […]
Union Catholic and New Providence also among field once again
For the first time, last year’s Roselle Park Dad’s Club Baseball Invitational – played on the same weekend as this year’s will be – included no rain and normal, comfortable temperatures to enjoy the sport by. All 10 games were played, including some thrillers – there were three one-run games and three two-run contests. Even […]
Pitching for Crusaders were juniors Anthony Furci, a righty and the winning pitcher, and lefty Ryan Mulroy
CLARK – To go from a winter and pre-season of discontent – as far as the weather was concerned – to more snow on Tuesday, to a 2-0 start two days later, yeah, eighth-year Johnson head baseball coach Dave Kennedy will take that any season. Johnson pushed across seven runs in the bottom of the […]

Deon Candia, who guided Linden to its first state championship in 29 years, is stepping down as the school’s head football coach.

Lions lifted by Briscoe's game-high 17 points, while Sarr adds 13, Silva 12 and Bullock 11
Beating St. Anthony and its legendary head coach Bob Hurley just once is a monumental achievement and something to be very proud of. Beating the Friars four times in three seasons is unheard of. Beating St. Anthony three straight years in a state championship game – well – what can you say? Roselle Catholic can say […]
ELIZABETH – With the game and a trip to Rutgers to play in the Group 4 state championship contest on the line, it seemed as if the team that played the best in the fourth quarter was going to win Wednesday night’s Group 4 semifinal at the Dunn Center. Underdog Paterson Eastside was clinging to […]
Is first Farmer grappler to advance to NJSIAA Tournament in 10 years.
After what Union standout David Brown went through on the mat last weekend he needed plenty of rest to be prepared for his first trip to Atlantic City. Just getting out of Region 3 and qualifying for the NJSIAA Tournament was – perhaps – the ultimate challenge for this highly-competitive junior grappler. Following a win […]
Tigers capture 11th county championship and first since 2007
UNION – Sometimes heart, will, physicality and determination – important things that don’t show up in the scoring agate – turn out to be more important than blocks, rebounds, steals and assists. Those were the traits Linden had to go by and count on if the Tigers were to get past a much taller Roselle […]
UNION – When you get to the championship game of a basketball tournament you want to see the teams battle right until the very end. An attempt at a game-winning shot right before the buzzer wouldn’t hurt as well. Fans of Union County girls’ basketball were treated to both Friday night. When Westfield senior Jacqueline […]
