PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield quarterback didn’t know what hit him. It was the classic blind side smack.

Defense does not allow Cardinals to reach Union territory
PLAINFIELD – All Union wanted to do was to win the game and leave Hub Stine Field healthy. Mission accomplished.

Since taking over as head coach in 2008 this has been the biggest turnover Union boys’ soccer coach Lester Lembryk has been faced with. Gone are nine of 11 starters from last year’s 2015 squad that produced a winning season of 11-8-1. “We’re not so young, but inexperienced on the varsity level,” said Lembryk, who […]
UNION – Last year the Farmers were one win away from playing for a state championship, yet finished with a record under .500. Union, 5-6 in 2015, came back in dramatic fourth quarter fashion to post a first-ever playoff victory at Piscataway, but was then handed decisive losses at Westfield in the playoffs and at […]
