Phillipsburg football rocks East Orange to reach fifth straight final

This article was updated with more information. EAST ORANGE – The Phillipsburg High School football team used some razzle and dazzle but mostly stuck to its go-to formula — power running and stout defense — in a 31-13 win over East Orange in the NJSIAA North 2 Group 5 semifinals at Paul Robeson Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 7. The third-seeded Stateliners will host next week’s sectional final Friday night against No. 4-seeded Passaic Tech, which upset top-seeded Elizabeth 35-0 in the other semifinal. Phillipsburg (8-2) seeks its third consecutive title and is playing in its fifth straight sectional final. The Liners got there behind three Shane Moore touchdown runs of 6, 1 and 38 yards as P’burg opened a 21-6 lead at halftime. “Just overall, a great effort for our guys,” Phillipsburg coach Frank Duffy said. “I said run the football, make the quarterback uncomfortable and be great in special teams. Do something special. We did that. That was the recipe for success today.” Old Bridge football forces 5 turnovers, shuts out Williamstown 35-0 Football playoff roundup for Big Central Conference, local Central NJ Duffy said it was important to establish the run game early and to take East Orange

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been privately meeting with labor union leaders to push for a lefty candidate to make a run for the White House in 2028 — and he reportedly isn’t sure Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will take up the mantle. The democratic socialist — who can’t be president himself as he’s not a “natural-born” US citizen — wants to capitalize on progressives’ momentum after the midterm elections and organize a far-left bloc to fight against moderate Democrat candidates, The Post confirmed. Hizzoner “wants the progressive ecosystem to mobilize quickly, strategically and efficiently if a moderate candidate is clearly on the rise,” one source who spoke directly with Mamdani told Axios , which first reported the conversations. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign at Murphy’s in Astoria, Queens, on Nov. 1, 2026. Stephen Yang for NY Post The source likened the strategy to how former President Barack Obama appeared to use his influence to successfully consolidate support behind his ex-VP Joe Biden against Sen.
