Backyard football bond drives Morris County team's historic playoff run

The true number depends on who’s counting. Ryan Hogan estimates the total in the thousands, while Nick Lagunowich pegs it even higher. What’s undeniable is that the countless hours spent together have helped transform Chatham into one of North Jersey’s rising football programs. More: Breaking down every North Jersey football sectional semifinal matchup “Oh, wow, I couldn’t tell you the number, but it’s got to be over a thousand. We’ve been at it for like six years. It started with backyard football,” said Hogan, the Cougars' second-year starting quarterback. “We’ve spent a lot of time going over plays and patterns since the seventh grade and we’ve been able to perfect it each year. We’re in total sync.” The Cougars’ prolific passing tandem ranks among New Jersey’s best and has been a driving force behind Chatham's six-game winning streak, which has carried the Morris County school into a sectional semifinal for the second time in three years and within one victory of its first championship-game appearance in 11 years. Next up is a showdown with division rival Mount Olive (5-4). The third-seeded Cougars, No. 6 in the latest Morris/Sussex Super 10 rankings , will host the seventh-seeded Marauders in a North

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included.
