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

Montclair Public Schools officials are crafting the 2027-28 school year calendar, which should largely replicate the current school year’s, school district officials said. But some board members have questioned whether to open schools for Election Day 2027 as the prospects for relocating polling sites out of school buildings — a long-sought goal of the school district — prove increasingly unlikely next year.

County College of Morris to Host Criminal Justice Career Fair

MORRIS COUNTY — The County College of Morris (CCM) is inviting students, graduates and general job seekers to its Criminal Justice Career Fair on Thursday, November 19. “Career fairs give students, job seekers and career changers the chance to talk directly with professionals who know their fields and find out what employers are looking for,” said Maureen Kazaba, professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at CCM. “You don’t have to be a criminal justice major to benefit. There are many career paths to explore, and meeting employers in person can also help students discover the education needed for opportunities they may not have considered.”

Op-Ed: New Board of Education Members Must Push Administration to do More With Less

We woke up on Wednesday to the news that the For Stronger Schools slate routed its opponents to secure its place on the school board. I considered writing about how the victory represents a resounding rejection of the Jersey City Education Association’s stranglehold on our public schools, or a rejection of the lack of accountability within the bureaucracy of the Board of Education. But I won’t.

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
