Brick Memorial knocked out of football state tournament by Millville

BRICK -- The onslaught of rain and mud was meant to be a home field advantage in the state playoffs. Instead, Mother Nature helped usher in a painful turning point for top-seeded Brick Memorial football. The Mustangs were trailing 13-7 at halftime against South Jersey power Millville, but they received the kickoff to start the third quarter. An errant snap turned the ball over to the Thunderbolts just outside the red zone, and the very next play Reggie Holley went 26 yards to the end zone for his third touchdown and he added the two point-conversion. Brick Memorial never recovered. Brick Memorial (9-2) had hoped to avenge a lopsided loss in the 2024 sectional final, but instead Millville (6-4) proved their perennial contender status with a 24-7 victory Friday night to advance to the Central Group 4 section final against Atlantic City. "Our kids are tough, man," Brick Memorial head coach James Mahoney said. "Regardless of what the score was, they're gonna continue to compete and they're gonna let it all hang out on the field. Credit our boys, it could have went a lot worse than it did at some points, and our kids bucked down and stuck together.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.

Daycare abuse spikes in NYC — and equity-driven ‘reform’ is to blame

For years, New York state and local officials have made it harder to investigate child abuse, and harder to keep abusers on the registry that educational and child-care employers check before they hire. Now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost: City daycare facilities are seeing skyrocketing cases of child abuse by employees. Anyone wondering how this happened hasn’t been paying attention. When Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law last year forbidding hotline callers from accepting anonymous reports of child abuse, it sealed the deal on a hands-off stance that was long in the making. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services has made a concerted effort to tamp down calls about child maltreatment, actively discouraging teachers, for instance, from reporting child neglect. When calls are accepted, more and more of them are deemed “low risk,” meaning families are offered services but the cases are never actually investigated. Many such “low risk” cases are nothing of the sort: For instance, a case that ACS chalks up to poverty — such as a teacher’s report that a child showed up to school hungry, having not been fed all weekend — may actually be the result of substance abuse or
