HILLSIDE, NJ — Succeeding Barris Grant as Hillside High School’s head football coach is an assignment as challenging as making a fourth down play inside the opponent’s five-yard line to win the game.

BERLELEY HEIGHTS, NJ — Governor Livingston High School baseball has accomplished much the last 30 years.

The team the Bulldogs beat in the championship game, Scotch Plains–Fanwood High School, came a run shy of winning it for just the second time and for the first time since 1977.
