Salem football's 'Blue Storm' rolls to sectional title victory

PAULSBORO – Antonio Merendino says every time the Salem High School football team takes the field, it feels like an event. The Rams have become a huge hit in the postseason and, on Saturday, earned some well-deserved hardware for their performance. Salem raced to an 18-point lead in the first half and cruised to a 38-14 victory at Paulsboro in Saturday’s Central Jersey Group 1 championship game, earning the program’s first sectional title since 2022. More: Everything you need to know for the 2026 high school football season The Rams (9-3) will play at South Jersey champion Schalick (12-0) in Friday's state semifinal. The winner will play in the state Group 1 final at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands the final weekend of November. “It feels so surreal right now,” said Merendino, a defensive lineman who led a stout defense with two sacks. “It looked so rough in the beginning of the season, but we stuck together and this win shows us that the path to a state championship is right in front of us now.” The squad, which calls itself the Blue Storm, weathered some rough seas over the first four weeks of the season that resulted in a

High school graduations will remain at the Bob Carpenter Center

ELKTON — Cecil County Public Schools will once again hold its graduation ceremonies at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Del. Two members of the Cecil County School Board voted against it Wednesday evening, but were outvoted with a 3-2 nod in favor of spending $58,590 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center for the 2027 graduations. Joe Ferdinando and Brian Hampton — this was Hampton’s final meeting — voted against the expense, with Hampton noting that coming budget cuts from the state means CCPS might need those funds elsewhere, including a shortage of teacher assistants in kindergarten classes. (Sheila Tome defeated Hampton for the District 4 seat. Hawley decided not to seek re-election. Grant Handley won her seat. Joe Ferdinando and challenger Dominick Mannella are separated by less than 2 percentage points. That race will be determined by a final tally with all ballots counted sometime Friday according to Gary Holmes, chief of the Cecil County Board of Elections) Superintendent Jeffrey Lawson said the individual schools budget about $7,000 on average for the ceremony regardless, so having it off site only adds about $20,000 to the CCPS budget. “Already on the budget doesn’t mean it should be spent,” Ferdinando said.

The Neo-Colonization of a School District Pt. 3

Under any fascist power structure, controlling resources is equally as important as controlling people. I’d argue that when one controls resources (e.g., economic, intellectual, social, etc.), one controls the people who depend on those resources to survive. According to the Constitution, Congress has the power of the purse, meaning...

Drexel Freezes Elementary Education Major, Leaving Just 7 New Students This Fall

Drexel University has paused admission into its in-person elementary education major after just seven new full-time School of Education students enrolled this fall, a decision the school is calling temporary even as current students and a major donor push back. The pause leaves the future of a program that has fed teachers directly into Philadelphia classrooms for years in limbo, at a moment when the city is already struggling to keep enough educators in front of students.
