Delbarton moved up and took Chaminade’s No.4 spot in the national rankings and the Flyers slid back to No. 6.
The Delbarton Green Wave lacrosse team was ranked No. 8 nationally by laxpower.com when they hosted the No. 4 ranked Flyers of Chaminade on Saturday. Matthew Killian scored with 3.9 seconds left to give his Green Wave a 6-5 win over the Flyers. “That was a moment I will never forget,” said Killian. “The ball started bouncing my way and I was lucky to get the ball at the end. I’ve got to credit our coach. We’ve been coming in and playing wall ball, which helps with our quick stick movements. That came in handy there at the end.” Delbarton is now ranked No. 4 nationally and Chaminade is ranked No. 6. Delbarton is now 16-0 on the season and has a bye in the first round of the 2013 NJSIAA Tournament. The Green Wave will play the winner of Pope…

The Irvington native signed a 3-year, $6 million contract with the Jets in March.
Jets running back Mike Goodson was sent to a Morris County jail following his arrest on drug and weapons charges in Denville Friday.

About this sponsorship: In honor of the 60th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary’s historic ascent of Mount Everest, Patch and Grape-Nuts are teaming up to highlight those who inspire people around them to climb their own mountains. It was just a little drinking and smoking on the weekends in high school. It was just a little cocaine offered by a friend in college. It was just one little yellow pill during the offseason. Then it was a career down the tubes. Then it was two drug overdoses, one of which was heart-stopping. Then it was a family that turned away because of too much pain. For more than an hour, Chris Herren, a once-heralded high school basketball star, college hoops standout and second round National Basketball Association draft …
They beat Vernon 14-9
After being defeated on Tuesday against Montville on the road, Morristown girls lacrosse came strong into the state tournament on Thursday. Ranked No. 5, the Colonials beat No. 12 Vernon, 14-9. Coach Evan Mager said on Tuesday that the team needed to focus in this tournament because it only takes one bad day to get sent home. “We need to figure it out going into state because in playoffs, any team can play,” said Mager. “Everybody needs to realize that it’s one (bad) game and you go home. Luckily we have a day tomorrow to prepare. We’re ranked fifth in the conference so we have a home game, which is Thursday at 4:30 p.m.” Did you go and get pictures or video of the game?

James, Why belittle another sport (which I dislike, by the way) in order to make your point? And all my point was that the attempt to market MLS as "major league," given the premiere leagues already in places--a number in Europe--was, to me, a waste of time. Can you go to an MLS game and have a great time and see a competitive, fairly topnotch game? Sure, in the same way you can go see the … more ›
