BERKELEY HEIGHTS – Five returning starters, all seniors, will lead the Highlanders on to the field Saturday when they host Voorhees at Kean University’s Alumni Stadium in Union. The turf and track at Frey Field is presently being re-done, which is why GL will face Voorhees at Kean this weekend. The plan is to have […]
SUMMIT – There are a lot of new faces, with only four returning starters on offense and five on defense. However, both quarterbacks return, with each of them having started a year ago when Summit came within a game of playing for the North 2, Group 4 state championship. Those junior signal-callers include Jackson Tyler […]
KENILWORTH – The one thing that Brearley needs to do to win – its blueprint according to head coach Scott Miller – was halted by a Holmdel team that did its homework. Brearley’s running game was held in check pretty much for the entire game, while Holmdel – which didn’t rush the ball that well […]
UNION – The Farmers played their game-scrimmage at Summit with the utmost confidence. They scored on offense – guided by the passing combination of sophomore quarterback Andrew Sanborn to senior wide receiver Andy Martin – and they ran to the ball carrier on defense – led by senior linebacker Temilou Adanlawo’s athletic solo sack of […]
CLARK – The Crusaders were right there last year. They were – perhaps – just a play away from playing for a trip to the Central Jersey, Group 2 state championship game.

Longtime North Arlington resident Dennis McCarthy passed away in May at the age of 74. His passion […]
ROSELLE – Having lost a talented senior class with many of them moving on to the next level – including prolific quarterback Gerald Hairston III and 2,000-yard rushing tailback Isiah Byrd – you would think the Rams might be in a bind of sorts. However, fifth-year head coach James Williams is just as high on […]
