Top NJ high school soccer coach suspended in champagne controversy as defenders slam ‘absolutely pathetic’ punishment

The coach of the No. 1 girls high school soccer team in New Jersey has been suspended after popping champagne on school grounds following a milestone victory. Paul VI coach Karen Anderson will serve a one-game ban after a video was posted on social media showing her celebrating with what appeared to be a champagne bottle following her 100th career victory Thursday, according to NJ.com . Paul VI, the two-time defending state champions, defeated Notre Dame, 2-0, in the South Jersey Non-Public A quarterfinals. Anderson will serve her suspension when Paul VI (21-1) faces Immaculata (14-4-1) in a sectional semifinal matchup on Monday in Haddonfield. Karen Anderson was suspended for one playoff game after alleged champagne celebration. Karen Patruno Anderson/Facebook “While Coach Anderson did not consume the contents of the bottle, Paul VI does not condone this behavior and recognizes the importance of upholding the standards of conduct expected of our coaches,” Paul VI said Friday in a statement.

This story was originally published by NJ Spotlight News through the NJ News Wire. Gov. Mikie Sherrill faces a tough choice: Enroll New Jersey in President Donald Trump’s new school choice program by Jan. 1, or leave what could be hundreds of millions of federal dollars on the table. 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. Say no, and be accused of forfeiting federal dollars for needy New Jersey kids, including those desperate to escape struggling schools or afford extra tutoring. “The bottom line is that if you turn it down, it’s less money for New Jersey families. It makes the whole, sum total of existing in New Jersey, if you have kids, less affordable,” says Republican state budget leader Declan O’Scanlon. “How can you run on affordability and do that?” Opponents, meanwhile, call it a costly private school handout that starves public schools. They often
