South Brunswick High School hybrid plan delayed due to rise in COVID cases

pared statement on Nov. 12. The chief credited collaboration with mental health professionals and excellent police work with resolving some volatile situations in the past six weeks, according to the statement.

outh Brunswick High School was supposed to begin its hybrid model on Nov. 16, allowing students to attend class in-person, but that phase of the reopening plan has been delayed due to a rising number of COVID cases. “COVID cases are rising dramatically in the state and country. This has reached South Brunswick in the way of multiple cases hitting the high school, causing us to close the high school until Thanksgiving. This obviously impacts our reopening plans as the high school will not open for hybrid in-person learning on [Nov. 16] as scheduled,” Superintendent of Schools Scott Feder wrote in a message to the community on the district’s webpage. While South Brunswick High was impacted by multiple cases, as of press time the K-8 schools were not impacted and are all still scheduled to open for in-person hybrid instruction on Nov. 16. “I will caution you to be ready to pivot as the cases rise. Things could change and directives from government could be issued that close schools or some other form of impact. The second wave appears to be upon us. Health and safety must remain our No. 1 priority,” Feder said in the statement. While the state numbers have reached April-like counts, South Brunswick continues to remain significantly off peak numbers from that time, Feder said. “For example, during the peak months of COVID from the spring, South

Public library will be named after late mayor By JENNIFER AMATO Managing Editor

he South Brunswick Public Library could soon be known as the Christopher J. Killmurray Building, named after a former mayor who had a deep passion for the library. “Our good friend Christopher Killmurray was a champion of the library. It really was one of his primary cares in public life,” Mayor Charles Carley said during the Nov. 10 Township Council meeting. “It’s a great tribute to him and I thank everyone for going out of their way and pushing this along,” Councilwoman Jo Hochman said. The motion will be put to a vote during the Nov. 24 council meeting. Killmurray was appointed mayor in April 2017 after the passing of Mayor

Frank Gambatese the month prior. Killmurray was initially elected to the council in 2003 and he began his fourth term on the council in 2015. Less than a year after being named mayor, Killmurray passed away on April 8, 2018. He had been battling brain cancer, according to information provided by the M.J. Murphy Funeral Home in the Monmouth Junction section of South Brunswick. He served on the South Brunswick Public Library Board, the Recreation Advisory Board, the South Brunswick Family YMCA Board, and the Flame of Charity Foundation for the Diocese of Metuchen. Killmurray served as the co-chair of the annual Flame of Charity Foundation Fundraising Dinner. He was a member of the St. Cecilia Knights of Columbus Council No. 7046 as well as the Ancient Order of Hi-

bernians, Monsignor Crean Division No. 1 in Hamilton. He was an active member of St. Cecilia’s Parish in Monmouth Junction and a past volunteer CCD teacher, according to his obituary. He was also a longtime member of the Woodbridge Irish-American Association, and was a member of VFW Post 9111 in Kendall Park Men’s Auxiliary. He was active in local scouting through his sons’ participation in Cub Scout Pack 108 and Boy Scout Troop 888, as an assistant leader in both units, according to his obituary. He served as pro bono legal counsel for the Central Jersey Boy Scouts – Joyce Kilmer District, according to the township. He was honored with the Good Scout Award from the Central New Jersey Council of Boy Scouts of America in 2004, ac-

cording to his obituary. Killmurray was a graduate of Rutgers University Camden School of Law and was a partner in the law firm of Hoagland, Longo, Moran, Dunst & Doukas in the firm’s Employment and Civil Rights Litigation Section, handling cases statewide with an emphasis on defense of public entities and their employees. His work defending matters filed against police officers and police departments earned him the distinction of Irishman of the Year by the Central Jersey Police Emerald Society in 2011, according to the statement. Killmurray was selected by the Middlesex County Bar Association, and the New Jersey Commission on Professionalism in the Law, as a recipient of the 2016 Professional Lawyer of the Year Award.

South Brunswick library project on chosen list for state funding

he South Brunswick Public Library is on the list to potentially receive state funding for expansion and associated renovations. Gov. Phil Murphy delivered a list of proposed projects for the first round of funding from the Library Construction Bond Act (LCBA) to the Legislature on Nov. 5. The LCBA authorized $125 million in state bonds to fund critical improvements to New Jersey public libraries. The bond issuance was approved by New Jersey voters in November 2017 and all applicants were required to identify a 50% match to fund their proposed projects, according to information provided by the governor’s office. The South Brunswick Public Library applied for the grant in June, said Director Chris Carbone. The library plans a multifaceted expansion, renovation and repair project in response to realized and projected population growth from mandated affordable housing obligations, according to information provided by Carbone. The project addresses accessibility issues, insufficient space for community engagement and education and HVAC repairs. The growth of

critical library services is supported with expanded training and performance spaces, teen space and parking. Highlights include replacing an extensive entrance ramp with a new lobby and elevator, renovating non-compliant restrooms into accessible family/caregiver ones and constructing a 128-seat theater and new meeting room. The existing meeting room will be divided into small group work spaces and the teen space enlarged. The estimated cost of the proposed project is approximately $7.173 million, Carbone said. The library applied for a grant for 50% of the cost, or $3.586 million. The South Brunswick Public Library Foundation will work toward fundraising part of the required matching funds, Carbone said. The campaign will launch once it becomes clear if the project will go forward as planned or if it needs to be revised based on the grant awards, he said. Thirty-eight highly-rated projects from 16 counties across the state were recommended to the Legislature to receive funding from the act. Currently, $87.5 million is available to be distributed among these projects during this initial round. More

than 129 applications were reviewed by a committee comprised of experts from across relevant state agencies, including the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Community Affairs, the New Jersey Treasury, and the New Jersey Historical Commission, among others, according to the statement. “From major building renovations to vital technology upgrades, this bond program will transform our libraries to better serve and be more accessible to their local communities,” Murphy said in the statement. “I want to thank the state librarian [Mary Chute] and President [Dr. Merodie A.] Hancock at Thomas Edison State University, as well as our partner agencies, on their collaborative work toward this effort.” As required by statute, the state librarian, in consultation with the president of Thomas Edison State University, is responsible for the administration and oversight of the LCBA, according to the statement. The New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority will be assisting the state librarian to ensure compliance and the post-issuance

work related to this bond. The proposed project list is currently pending review with the Legislature. Once approved, appropriated funding will be granted to these projects. “New Jersey libraries continue to respond to the needs of our communities and are working tirelessly to bridge the digital divide and keep residents connected to many critical services which have become all the more essential in recent months,” Chute said in the statement. “We are eager to see local libraries break ground on these much-needed projects, which will make library facilities safer, more efficient, and more accessible for all people.” “I am thrilled New Jersey has made this investment in our valuable library infrastructure,” Hancock said in the statement. “The Library Construction Bond makes a significant impact through crucial library improvements that better serve our residents and support the educational and community priorities of the state.” The full list of awardees will be available when it is sent to the Legislature for Appropriation Act approval. A second round of awards is planned for the first quarter of 2021.

Kamala Harris’ husband has roots in Old Bridge By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer

amala Harris’ husband has roots in the Matawan and Old Bridge area. In November 2019, Douglas Emhoff tweeted “I lived in Matawan/Old Bridge from 1969-1981 so New Jersey is still very much in my veins.” On Nov. 7, it was projected that former Vice President Joe Biden earned enough electoral votes to defeat President Donald Trump in the election on Nov. 3 to become the 46th president of the United States in January. Kamala Harris would become the first female and first South Asian vice president if the results stand. Results are not official until certified. Schools Superintendent David Cittadino tweeted on Nov. 11 a picture of Emhoff’s yearbook photo. The possible first second gentlemen attended Cedar Ridge High School before he moved to California. Cedar Ridge High School opened in Old Bridge to address overcrowding in

1968, but closed in Jewish descent 1994. The towntake his place on ship currently has the White House one high school, team. Old Bridge High. “The fact “No matter that Mr. Emwhat candidates hoff has roots in you supported it Old Bridge only is a momentous makes the story time in history for so much more Old Bridge as we rich with opporproudly congratutunity,” Cittadino late 1st Second said when asked Gentleman Dougabout Emhoff’s las Emhoff,” Citroots. “Our curtadino wrote. rent students Cittadino said should savor in as the country inspiration PHOTOS COURTESY OF MADISON-OLD BRIDGE the HISTORICAL SOCIETY that Kamala Harpossibly prepares to welcome the first Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, ris and Doug woman, Asian and has roots in Old Bridge and Matawan. Emhoff provide Black American to for future generathe vice president tions. No matter position, the country could also witness your background, race, religion or gender, the first second gentleman and person of every child from Old Bridge should relish

in the audacity to dream for a future bright with possibilities.” Cittadino said when Emhoff was attending Old Bridge schools he probably never imagined this year’s presidential race. “I am happy for our community children that Mr. Emhoff followed his heart to the White House,” he said. “And now the students know they can do the same following their heart and dreams.” The Madison-Old Bridge Township Historical Society and Thomas Warne Museum posted a 1979 yearbook photo of Emhoff on their social media pages. Emhoff is 16 years old in the Ski Club photo. He and his family lived in the Lakeridge community, which is a development of private homes, according to Richard Pucciarelli, president of the historical society and museum. Pucciarelli said although Emhoff did not graduate from Cedar Ridge High School, his sister Jamie graduated from the high school in 1980. Emhoff also has another brother Andy Emhoff.

Grants fund job training in Small businesses can receive three Central Jersey counties discounts on PPE purchases

esidents in Hunterdon, Middlesex and Somerset counties who are unemployed because of COVID-19 have access to a new training grant program through the counties’ workforce development boards. The Consortium of the Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board, serving Hunterdon and Somerset counties; and the Workforce Development Board of Middlesex County has received $277,750 in COVID-19 Dislocated Worker Grants from the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, according to information provided by the Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board. This first-time collaboration between the two workforce boards aim to serve at least 50 individuals from the three counties through their One-Stop Career Training Services Centers who have lost their jobs or face significant reduction in hours because of the pandemic. Training opportunities in the new program focus on four industries that are experiencing post-COVID-19 growth,such as healthcare; transportation, logistics and distribution; warehousing; selected retail sectors (food stores and home centers), according to the statement. Each workforce board through their One-Stop Career Training Services Center already offers individual training grant programs for the unemployed and underemployed. This new Consortium program expands the number of residents that can be assisted and covers the program’s applicants now through August 2021, according to the statement. “We know that more than 214,000 individuals in the three counties have filed for unemployment since mid-March,” Kevin Kurdziel, director of Middlesex County’s Office of Career Opportunity and CEO of the county’s Workforce Development Board, said in the statement. “While

many have gone back to work, many others are still looking for their next opportunity. The goal of the Consortium is to help out-of-work or underemployed residents displaced by the pandemic obtain industryvalued credentials and employment in sustainable wage career pathways.” Eligible participants in this grant opportunity also will have the benefit of earning certificates in SkillUp Middlesex and SkillUp Greater Raritan, a free online learning portal for residents in the three counties. “Workforce boards focus on ensuring residents have access to programs and information that help them get good-paying jobs,” Paul Grzella, director of the Greater Raritan Workforce Development Board, said in the statement. “Training grants are one component of what our One-Stop Career Centers do every day, and the staffs regularly guide people to success.” In addition to the training grants, the Consortium’s partners have other ongoing career-related services, including registered apprenticeship programs, personal assessment tools, career counseling, case management, work-readiness training, resume assistance, interview practice and preparation, job development and job placement and more. Residents of Hunterdon and Somerset counties can find more information about the Consortium opportunity by emailing onestop@co.somerset.nj.us, or by calling 908-541-5780. For more information on all system services, visit www. thegrwdb.org, and look on the Calendar and Job Seekers tabs. Residents of Middlesex County can find more information by emailing onestoptraining@co.middlesex.nj.us or by calling 732-745-3601. For more information on all system services, visit the Middlesex Workforce Development Board.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD The North Brunswick Police Department is seeking donations of sanitizing wipes and other PPE. Drop off items at police headquarters, 710 Hermann Road, North Brunswick. Call 732-247-0922, ext. 326 for more information.

The North Brunswick Food Bank announced new hours for Thursdays: 6-7:30 p.m. at the municipal building, 710 Hermann Road. Tuesday hours remain the same from 10 a.m. to noon.

ew Jersey-based small businesses and nonprofit organizations with 100 or fewer employees may apply to receive 25% discounts on purchases of personal protective equipment (PPE) from vendors approved by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA). The discounts are available under Phase 2 of the NJ Small and Micro Business PPE Access Program, which the NJDEA launched on Nov. 10. Small businesses and organizations interested in receiving 25% discounts must apply at https://covid19.nj.gov/ppeaccess. Once the NJEDA has confirmed their eligibility, they will receive vouchers for purchases from a “designated vendor” of their choice. This discount will automatically reduce the costs of online purchases the participating small business or organization makes from that designated vendor by 25%. The discounts will expire after 14 days, or on Nov. 30. During Phase 1 of the program, the NJEDA identified and vetted “designated vendors,” including Boxed, Office Depot and Staples, which have partnered with the authority to create “microsites” where New Jersey-based businesses can purchase a curated selection of PPE products at a 10% discount. The NJEDA also collaborated with the New Jersey Department of Health to create an online PPE Planning

Tool that helps businesses understand PPE product requirements and estimate their organizational PPE needs. Links to the designated vendor microsites and the PPE Planning Tool are available at https://covid19.nj.gov/ppeaccess. The second phase of the PPE Access Program makes $20.4 million available to subsidize small and micro businesses’ PPE purchases from Staples and Office Depot. During this phase, businesses with 100 or fewer full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) can receive grants equal to 25% of the cost of purchases made through these designated vendors. All eligible businesses can receive up to $400 in discounts, and businesses operating in one of New Jersey’s 715 census tracts that were eligible to be designated as Opportunity Zones can receive up to $500. These grants are applied in addition to the 10% discount offered to all businesses, meaning small businesses can save up to a third of the cost of their PPE purchases. In addition to the PPE Access Program, the NJEDA administers a variety of grant, low-cost financing, and technical assistance programs for small and midsized businesses impacted by COVID-19. Comprehensive information about these programs and other state support for businesses impacted by the pandemic is available at https://cv.business.nj.gov.

On Nov. 10 at 2:30 p.m., a counselor from Rutgers University Behavioral Health responded to a home in the Whis% pering Woods complex for a male whose s family members believed was in a mental - health crisis, according to Hayducka. The counselor spoke to the man and determined e he needed to go to the hospital for further g treatment. The counselor called the police - and EMS to have the man transported. South Brunswick officers responded to the home and spoke with the counselor and the man. The man appeared cooperative and agreed to go in the ambulance but suddenly changed his demeanor. He began to complain about everyone wearing masks, the election, and he didn’t trust what was going on, according to reports. Officers explained that they wanted to get him assistance and tried to calm him down, according to the statement. After a few minutes, the man ran into the kitchen toward the counter where a knife block was located, according to reports. Officer Ryan Bartunek and Private First Class Mike Leung pursued the man as he reportedly grabbed a large knife from the wooden block, police said. Bartunek pinned the man against the counter as Leung struggled to get the knife out of the man’s left hand. Officer Jason Stonkus entered the home and assisted getting the man under control. The man was transported to an area hospital where he has been admitted for treatment, according to the statement. “These officers made split-second decisions and used necessary force to make sure the man did not harm himself or others. In this case, a counselor was called and independently determined the man was in a mental health crisis, then called us for our assistance. The training and skills the officers used allowed this man to get the help he needed. This was excellent police work,” Hayducka said in the statement. South Brunswick police are seeing an increase in mental health issues across all age ranges, according to the statement. “The pandemic is taking its toll on everyone, and issues that may have previously resolved are rising to crisis levels faster,” Hayducka said in the statement. With the holidays approaching and possibly causing additional stress, residents in need can call Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care at 732-235-5500 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. “We will work through these difficult days together, as a community and a police department,” Hayducka said in the statement.

Brunswick documented an average over 75 cases a week. We all have to remain diligent and cognizant that our actions have an impact on others, as well as ourselves, and if these numbers begin to spike in South Brunswick, we may not have any option to open our doors. I do not share this to scare, but rather to speak plainly about our current reality,” Feder said in the statement. There will be no more than one com-

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA

2021 Infiniti QX80 Sensory AWD

n sheer size alone the 2021 Infiniti QX 80 should be crowned “King of the Road”. When I see vehicles this large, I usually quip to whoever is within ear shot at the time, “Geez, that looks like a house on wheels.” Well folks, for 2021, Infiniti has introduced a new trim line to the QX 80 offerings, the top-of-the-line Sensory AWD. I was fortunate enough to jump behind the wheel of the new Sensory AWD QX Peter Perrotta 80 recently for a one week test drive and if you are going to label this full sized luxury SUV a house on wheels, it’s one very opulent house. “A new Sensory grade sits at the top of the revised QX80 line up,” says a release from Infiniti. “Occupants will experience a sumptuous cabin featuring quilted semianiline leather appointed seats, and charcoal burl wood trim and a new graphite tricot headliner.” Moreover, the exterior now features 22inch forged alloy wheels, chrome mirror caps. A new hydraulic motion control suspension system was also added to provide a smoother, more stable ride. The results are indeed impressive for this massive SUV, first introduced by Infiniti back in 2004. I not only drove the QX 80 around town – to and from work and such – for one week, but I also took it on a 240-mile roundtrip sojourn out to Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, to display my wares at a sports card show. The ride out to Camp Hill and back was extremely comfortable and pleasant. The

cabin is not only opulent but roomy and comfortable as well. The QX 80, powered by a large 5.6 liter naturally aspirated V8 that puts out 400 horsepower is more than adequately powered. This engine roars, providing easy passing and lane changing capabilities, and once you get all the way over to command the left lane on the Pennsylvania Turnpike it cruises at high speeds quite nicely as well. However, all this bigness and opulence comes at a price. The new Sensory model QX 80 is not cheap and neither is it gas consumption efficient – this isn’t your typical tree hugger ride. The EPA’s fuel consumption ratings for the QX 80 come in at an average of 15 miles per gallon – with 19 mpg on highway driving and 13 mpg in around town or city driving. Moreover, the EPA estimates that on average it will cost you about $3,250 a year to feed the QX 80 with gas as it uses about 6.7 gallons per every 100 miles driven. The base price of the Sensory model QX 80 is $83,300. My test model had added options as well and when you tack on the $1,395 destination and delivery charge the bottom line sticker price comes in at a hefty $87,035. The added options on my test vehicle included: $485 for Infiniti illuminated kick plates; $410 for roof rail cross bars; $295 for a cargo package; $455 for Infiniti illuminated welcome lighting and $695 for the Coulis Red premium exterior paint. So the question at this point remains, is while the new Sensory top-of-the-line QX 80 is certainly luxurious and rich, the price point it is now offered at pushes it into the company of some pretty hefty competitors – namely the popular BMW X7 or the equally as popular Mercedes Benz GLS. In summarizing its review of the QX 80, the editors at Car and Driver gave it high marks for, “handsome styling, standard V8 power, plush and spacious cabin.”

SUBMITTED PHOTO

However, for low points, Car and Driver pointed out that the QX 80 “seems outdated compared to rivals.” I tend to agree, but not wholeheartedly. The German-made X7 and GLS have gone to smaller, more state-of-the-art engines that make up for the downsizing by adding a turbo charger or an electric battery EQ boost to give them more pep and better gas mileage. Additionally, inside the cabins, the German X7 and GLS seem to be a bit ahead of Infiniti when it comes to providing the latest infotainment and wide touch screen command center. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the operational functionality of Infiniti’s system, it just seems a bit dated with comparing it to what you get inside the X7 or GLS. However, all that being said, there is still room for the new Sensory model QX 80 if you are considering a full sized luxury SUV.

There is a distinct difference in the way that the German made X7 and GLS feel and drive when compared to the Japanese made Infiniti. The Infiniti offers a smoother, more airlike ride. With the German models you get a stiffer, more performance-oriented ride. Is one better than the other? Who is to say? The true test is in the eye of the beholder. You have to get in and test drive these models and see for yourself which is more to your liking. In case your were wondering just how big the QX 80 is, according to Infiniti’s spec sheet this vehicle has a wheelbase 121.1 inches, an overall length of 210.2 inches, a width of 79.9 inches and stands 75.8 inches high.

SPORTS Defense anchors North Brunswick in victory over rival South Brunswick By STEVEN BASSIN Staff Writer

he Mike Elko Memorial Trophy is staying in the halls of North Brunswick Township High School. Two touchdown passes by sophomore quarterback Frankie Garbolino to David DeLoatch III and two crucial interceptions on defense in the fourth quarter led the North Brunswick football team to a 14-7 victory over rival South Brunswick High School on Friday night in South Brunswick. North Brunswick’s victory over its rival for the second year in a row culminates a perfect regular season for the Raiders, who stand now at 6-0 on the season. “We talked about the meaning of the game and how it’s not just us on the field, but also the guys that wore the blue and gold the past 46 years and what this game meant to them,” said North Brunswick Coach Michael Cipot. “We want to treat it like another game, but it really isn’t. The kids did a good job of buying into what it meant to the seniors and the coaches who played in this game to keep the trophy home. It was a great team win.” North Brunswick got on the board first late in the first half of a defensive battle between the two rivals. Following being stopped down in the red zone on its previous possession by the South Brunswick defense, North Brunswick struck quickly to gain the early lead with 2:12 to go in the half. Garbolino and DeLoatch connected for an eight-yard reception to start the drive, and hooked up again two plays later, with DeLoatch finding the end zone for the Raiders. The senior caught a quick slant pass off play action from his sophomore quarterback and turned it into a 34-yard race to the end zone for his first touchdown of the night to put North Brunswick up 6-0. North Brunswick took its touchdown lead into the half, but South Brunswick answered right back with its own score to begin the second half. Sophomore quarterback Vincent Jairdullo helped South Brunswick convert a third down and 25 with a beautiful 32-yard pass to Damarion Potts. It led to Jairdullo finishing off the drive a couple plays later with his 16th score of the season on a one-yard touchdown run that helped South Brunswick take a onepoint lead with placekicker Jai Patel con-

verting the extra-point try. The Raiders were now the ones trailing and were close to seeing that deficit increase with South Brunswick marching down inside the North Brunswick 30-yard line to begin the fourth quarter. North Brunswick needed its defense to make a play, and the Raiders got what they wished for when sophomore linebacker William Wilson intercepted Jairdullo’s pass to get the ball back for Garbolino and the North Brunswick offense. Garbolino knew his squad needed to take advantage of the turnover and made sure to execute that with his second touchdown pass of the night. After he picked up a first down with his legs for the Raiders, Garbolino hooked up again with DeLoatch, hitting the senior wide receiver in stride up the right sideline for a 65-yard touchdown to help North Brunswick retake the lead. Garbolino then helped North Brunswick convert the two-point conversion by running in for the two-yard score to make it a 14-7 lead for the Raiders. “I just knew I had to be a playmaker and put points on the board,” Garbolino said. “The defense played well all night. We had to use the momentum off the pick to put the (ball) in the end zone and that’s what we did.” The sophomore now has 13 touchdown passes on the season and threw for 209 yards in the victory. DeLoatch had six catches for 165 yards. The senior has racked up all four of his touchdowns this season in the last two games. “It feels amazing. It feels like winning the Super Bowl,” DeLoatch said on the victory over South Brunswick. “Even through the storm if things are not going right, you just have to believe in yourself and everything will come to light. I believe in my own words. I was able to capitalize on big plays. It was a good team win overall.” The North Brunswick defense once again got a huge turnover to stop a South Brunswick drive deep in Raider territory. Senior Jelani Devonish-Wynter picked off Jairdullo in the end zone for North Brunswick’s second interception of the quarter. North Brunswick forced a total of three turnovers in the contest. Junior Favion Johnson had a fumble recovery as well for the Raiders. (Continued on next page)

“We said it was going to be a grind and we came up with plays when we needed it the most,” Cipot said. “I’m really proud of the defense.” South Brunswick also forced three turnovers on the night and had two interceptions. Sophomore Khiri Summers had one of the interceptions for South Brunswick, picking off Garbolino in the end zone to complete a South Brunswick goal line stand during the second quarter. North Brunswick was able to run out the clock off the interception by DevonishWynter. Garbolino and DeLoatch connected for a huge 31-yard completion to convert a third down and six for the Raiders. With South Brunswick out of timeouts, North Brunswick needed just one yard to keep the chains moving on fourth down and run out the clock with 1:12 left to play. Garbolino and the North Brunswick offensive line got the yard the Raiders needed to win the ball game and earn their 13th straight regular season victory dating back to last year. “Once I saw the ball past the sticks, I went nuts,” Garbolino said. “This by far is my favorite game so far. To be able to keep the trophy at home feels good.” F It’s the first time since 2003-04 that eNorth Brunswick has won back-to-back .meetings against South Brunswick. With the Big Central Football Conference beginning its postseason pods next week, North Brunswick will try to continue to stay perfect on the season when they play Old Bridge on Nov. 13. The Raiders have already shown that even with graduating 20 seniors from last year’s nine-win team that they are still a top-program in the conference. “No one every thought that we would be 6-0, but the players in our locker room believed that,” Cipot said. “Credit to these kids and this senior group for sticking together and buying into the program.” South Brunswick (4-2) will host Monroe in the first round of the postseason pods next Friday night. Despite losing its second straight contest, South Brunswick Coach John Viotto was proud of the way his team performed against North Brunswick on both sides of the ball and said his players are excited to get back to work to prepare for Monroe. “We asked them to be warriors and they did that,” Viotto said. “We’re proud of them and we’re excited that we get a chance to play these games and have our rivalry game. These are memories that these seniors will have forever. It’s something that at one point didn’t look like they were going to have, so we’re just thankful to get these games in.”
