Plainfield Council Balks at Rushmore Pool Fees, Citing Affordability Fears

Plainfield City Hall Annex — Approximate Daily-Pass Prepayment Site. A proposal to start charging admission at Plainfield's year-old Rushmore Aquatic Complex collapsed this week when a city council motion to introduce the fee ordinance failed to get a second.

Blue Devils Flip the Script and Finish on Top of Raiders in Sectional Semifinals

Going into the fifth round of penalty kicks, Westfield was leading 4-3. When the Scotch Plains-Fanwood player shot the ball, it was do-or-die; if he made it, the pressure would shift back to Westfield, but if he missed it, his season would end. Westfield junior goalkeeper Dominik Kotowicz waited for the shot and read it perfectly, falling on top of the ball. No goal. Westfield survives penalty kicks and secures a semifinal victory to advance to the state finals.
