UNION, NJ — In a town where lacrosse rules during the spring, another sport is coming on. Girls flag football is here to stay in Summit.

UNION COUNTY, NJ — For the second time, there will be Flag Football and North-South Football at Kean University on Sunday, June 8. Union County will be well-represented in both.

UNION, NJ — Not often does the eighth seed get all the way to the championship game and then have a lead in it as it attempts to win the title. That was the case for the Summit High School Hilltoppers last week, a program that won just three games in 2023 and then, just […]
SUMMIT, NJ — Could Summit High School do it again? Could the Hilltoppers have knocked off another higher-seeded team en route to its first championship?

Although avoiding what feels the same as freezing temps and precipitation may be more difficult than facing a 90 mile-per-hour fastball, tournament play is slated to kick in next month, as the 2025 campaign progresses after […]

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.
