Sophomore guard drains game-high 6 3-pointers; Dolce scores 10 and Moneme leads Farmers with 12 rebounds; Summit sparked by eight points from reserve Richardson and six by starter O'Malley
UNION – Jasmine Bonaparte’s steal and layup gave Union its first lead. Her first of a career-high six 3-point field goals – from the right side – extended Union’s second lead to five points. Bonaparte’s second 3-pointer – this time from the left – ignited an 18-2 run that began in the first quarter and […]

Linden, sparked by county champions Zalewski and Podsiebierski, capture Valley Division title
The Roselle Park girls’ tennis team improved its overall and league records this season and next year will return five of its top seven players. The Panthers, guided by head coach Nancy Sturcke since 1977, finished 11-7 overall and 7-5 and in third place in the Mountain Division of the Union County Conference. Last year’s […]
Hilltoppers hang on to halt Parsippany Hills 16-13
In addition to beginning its 2014 campaign with a program-best 45-game regular season winning streak, the Summit Hilltoppers football team will also start the season with a state-best overall 24-game winning streak. After producing a 12-0 record for the second consecutive season for the first time, Summit has now not only gone the past five seasons […]
Former Roselle Park head coach John Wagner will lead Point Pleasant Beach in only the program's second title game and first in 31 years
For one team, it tasted (non-alcoholic, of course) champagne (or Gatorade) just 12 months ago. For the other, it’s now been exactly 20 years since a celebration took place. For one coach, it’s also been 20 years since he led a team to the promised land. That’s the Union County menu for this championship football weekend that kicks […]
Cranford finishes successful season at 7-4; 11-0 Hilltoppers will face Parsippany Hills in championship game
SUMMIT – With an offense averaging nearly 40 points, Summit quite often provides the knockout punch by getting in the end zone four to five times before intermission. Teams have a difficult time containing a no-huddle offense that spreads the ball either running or passing it. On Saturday in the North 2, Group 3 semifinal […]
Tigers, Indians, Cougars will play on road vs. undefeated teams they recently lost to
Union has had enough of losing to Piscataway in the playoffs. For that matter, so has everyone else who has played the Chiefs in that setting since 2002. Cranford has had enough of losing to Summit – period – the last five seasons in Mid-State Conference play whether it was a close game or a […]
Union, Linden, Westfield in N2, G5; Scotch Plains in N2, G4; Cranford and GL also in N2, G3; Roselle Park, Brearley, New Providence in N2, G1; Rahway in CJ, G2
Here we go again. High school playoff football in UnionCounty is back – about a week later than normal – with many teams seeking to extend their seasons a week. Will this be the last season that we just crown sectional champions? We won’t know about possible playoff expansion until it gets voted on again […]
This weekend is the cutoff date, with Westfield still having a chance to make it in North 2, Group 5
Usually we’re getting ready for the playoffs this weekend. However, the old system of having a “Week Zero” where only a handful of teams open the season came back this year – thus pushing the 2013 campaign back a week. That means that this is the cutoff date weekend, with some teams done with their […]
In battle of the last 2 undefeated Union County teams, Summit tops Rahway for a 14th straight time; Dougherty scores winning TD with 36 seconds left to increase Hilltopper overall winning streak to 17; Bost scored all 3 Rahway TDs
RAHWAY – In order to beat a quality, state-championship caliber team – which was the way Rahway head coach Gary Mobley put it – playing for just 36 minutes is not going to cut it. The home team Indians found that out the hard way Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of more than […]
