In a town where soccer is king, it’s been five years since the Kearny football team has finished with a .500 record and even longer since they’ve appeared in the state playoffs.
While no one is confusing them with a football powerhouse, the Kardinals are experiencing the kind of success which has eluded them in recent years. That turnaround continued on Saturday night as they post their third victory of the season, a 42-16 win over Snyder at Caven Point. Read More

JERSEY CITY – First-year head coach Nick Fargo knows his High Tech team has dealt with its shares of challenges. Injuries have decimated the Lasercats’ depth, and a lack of size was painfully obvious on the boards in their division matchup against Snyder.
What High Tech certainly has though are speed and resilience. Those two qualities proved to be the deciding factors as the Lasercats defeated the Tigers 63-57 yesterday to snap Snyder’s 15-game winning streak. Read More

I contacted my coaches that coached with me before and they were up for the challenge as well. It’s a test of our coaching ability as well. That’s what makes this exciting.” Read More
