Top four stay the same, led by Immaculata, Ridge, in Bellamy & Son Paving Week 2 baseball rankings There was much more stability in the Bellamy & Son Paving Top Ten for Week 2 of the high school baseball season, with the top four teams remaining right where they are. There was minimal movement below that, with Monroe rising and Watchung Hills joining the rankings after a 3-0 week, knocking out Bernards. Immaculata (5-1) holds at No. 1 after 1 2-1 week down in Florida playing teams from around the country.

Watchung Hills “steals” walk-off, 6-5 win over Bridgewater-Raritan to sweep two-game set Just when you thought you've seen it all, you haven't. Way back in the first inning of Watchung Hills' Skyland Conference Delaware Division home game against Bridgewater-Raritan Thursday - heard live on Central Jersey Sports Radio - first baseman Max Payne did something he may never, ever do again. He broke his bat - a metal bat - on what turned out to be an infield hit to the left side.

Bridgewater-Raritan still figuring things out as Panthers head up to Watchung Hills seeking series split A look at the score from Tuesday's 9-1 loss to Watchung Hills doesn't quite tell the whole story of how that game went down. It was a 2-1 game until Bridgewater-Raritan got dinked and dunked to the tune of four runs by the Warriors, and it ended up being a 9-1 final. Maybe a more experienced team wins that game later in the season.

Watchung Hills football coach Rich Seubert steps down after a decade leading the Warriors After retiring from football with the New York Giants in his mid-30s with a Super Bowl ring on his finger, Wisconsin native Rich Seubert and his family moved to California for a few years, where he coached a little football at the high school level. But eventually, he came back to the East Coast, returning to New Jersey, and started coaching the offensive line at Watchung Hills.

Group 4 Playoff Chase: Undefeated Phillipsburg 2nd overall in North Group 4, but in great shape for top-seed in North 2 section As we continue taking a look at the playoff races here in New Jersey high school football with just three weeks left before the cutoff, the latest standings find Phillipsburg looking in very good shape in the North Group 4 supersection standings. Though undefeated (5-0), Phillipsburg is second overall in the UPR standings, but that's good enough for a top-seed. The Stateliners would get the North 2, Group 4 top seed, as the other No.

Go-ahead FG, game-winning pick earn Watchung Hills’ Dillon Nunes Week 0 Bellamy & Son Paving Player of the Week honors Sometimes the Bellamy & Son Paving Player of the Week is a runningback or QB who put up a bunch of yards, or a defensive end who hit the quarterback too many times to count. Sometimes it's just that one big play in a critical moment that won a game. Friday night, Dillon Nunes of Watchung Hills came up with two such plays, both of which came in the final minute of the Warriors' season opener against Moorestown.

2025 Big Central Preview: Liberty Silver Division The Big Central Conference Liberty Division should be an interesting one this year. Somerville won the division in 2024, en route to a program record 12 wins and a Central Jersey Group 3 title. But many key guys are gone, and the Pioneers will need the next crop of seniors to step up. Challenging them will be Rahway, which also lost some key pieces (who doesn't?) from a team that gave up just 115 points in ten games last season, the second lowest total in the Big Central.

Early look at Big Central Football 2025: Can sectional champ Somerville repeat in Liberty Silver, with Rahway, No. Hunterdon, Watchung Hills, Montgomery ready to challenge? While Somerville may have swept the Liberty Silver Division in 2024 and won the Central Jersey Group 3 title, many key Pioneers are off the graduation, and there are plenty of teams to challenge them in 2025. There's the Rahway team that was right behind them, going 3-1 last season in the division and with a boatload of talent returning, plus Watchung Hills looking for a bounceback year and North Hunterdon on the way up.
