Camden's Fran Brown was lost when the Cincinnati Bengals cut him in 2008. He found his way helping others pursue their NFL dreams and he's become one of the top coaches and recruiters in college football.

WARNING: Sappy, personal news thread coming. Today is my last day with the Courier-Post and Gannett. This was my decision. I dreamed of being a sports writer since eighth grade, and I’ve spent the past 16 years living that out.

St. Augustine's Jack Billings, a Voorhees native, came out after the trophy presentation and shook every Eastern players hand. They're the kids he grew up with. He had tears in his eyes from the loss, but at the same time he knows what it meant to them. Amazing sportsmanship.

St. Joe's Jada Byers has 10 TDs today, giving him 102 for his career, No. 1 in state history. He bested the old mark of 101, set by Kevin Harvey. His 10 TDs also breaks SJ record of 8 held by three: Florence's Roger Morton, Wildwood's Wes Hills and Pennsauken's Martin Booker.

Overwhelmed by the well wishes. When I met my wife, I told her I didn’t want to stay in NJ long. I wanted to go back west to my family. I wanted to go home. This amazing community made SJ my home. I love it here, and you are all a huge reason why. Thank you so, so much.

"Local football feels more transactional today than it did a decade ago. It’s losing its soul." I supported a lot of the changes to SJ football the last decade - super divisions, joined playoff brackets, ditching Thanksgiving football. I don't anymore.
