This article was updated with more information.

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

Wayne Council Cuts Ratzer Road Project to 46 Homes From Earlier 71-Unit Plan

933–965 Ratzer Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed 46-Home Zone. Wayne Township's governing body voted 7–2 to introduce an ordinance creating an overlay zone that would allow up to 46 homes on a long-contested Ratzer Road property, with two council members, Al Sadowski and Joseph Scuralli, casting the dissenting votes. The move scales back a far denser concept that had been on the table for the site, and it comes with strings attached: any homes actually built would need to meet a 20% affordable-housing requirement, and the project still faces Planning Board review before a shovel goes into the ground.

Irvington football fends off late rally in playoff upset of Ramapo

FRANKLIN LAKES – On a foggy, rainy night, Irvington took another step toward the vision. The Blue Knights raced out to a big halftime lead, then held on in the final seconds to take down top seed Ramapo 28-21 in the second round of the North Group 5 playoffs. “It’s personal, because a lot of people back at home saying we didn’t have any vision here since Smoke [coach Ashley Pierre] left,” said an elated Irvington coach Marco Soto. “We’re the same program. I made it a point to keep the family together, and here we are.” The Blue Knights (7-4) led 28-3 after a dominating first half, but Ramapo pushed back and, after an incredible Jack Schneider catch and run, were inside the Irvington 20 with a chance to tie the score with under a minute to play. Facing fourth down and 10, Ramapo tried a quarterback throwback pass to Luke Magerko, but he was hit out of bounds by Leonidas Williams several yards short of the marker. A flag came in and there was a discussion whether Irvington had 12 men on the field. One player was hustling to get to the sidelines before the play started. “They
