This was my last game. After 26 years, my time with the Burlington County Times is coming to an end. It has been a tremendous honor – and a great deal of fun – to be your eyes and ears on the sidelines. I thank you for the privilege and wish you all the best.

The fall season was 60 days and I squeezed 37 soccer games and 23 football games into it. I'm not sure when or even if we'll get a winter season, but this has been a blast. If you followed along, or even just dipped in occasionally, I thank you. Hope to see you in person soon.
Congratulations to Cherokee High School senior Billy Osborn, The Bill Gordon-George Masters Memorial Football Club of Burlington County’s Team Achievement Player of the Year for 2020.

dec. PJ Casale, Passaic Valley, 6-5. Here he talks about his early takedowns — and addresses a burning question.

Girls 121-pound semifinal: Kalli Roskos, Delran dec. Emily Klein, Paramus, 4-0. Roskos hit a 4-point move as time expired. There aren’t a lot of girls who ride legs, but fortunately coach Nathan Marter prepared her for it.

Coaching, preparation and experience all played a role in Drew Bowker’s clinching takedown. It’s not the first time he’s needed one with time running down.

Nathan Marter of Delran is the District 24 Coach of the Year and it's well deserved. We'll be starting the finals at 170 pounds.

Moorestown won the Group 3 state title a year ago today. I never get tired of seeing this move by Jagger Zrada (or Nick Cartwright-Atkins’ reaction)

Girls 135-pound semifinal: Emma Matera, Delran pin Skyelar Smith, Jackson, 5:35. I reminded Emma that she’s not really known as a takedown specialist. She just laughed.
