CAMDEN – It was not the ending to the football season the Ocean City Red Raiders wanted, but their effort and “resiliency” were not lost on head coach Sean Matthews.

Say yes, and face backlash from her blue-wave-emboldened base, which calls this a backdoor school voucher program channeling public money to private and religious schools.
