Basilone Bowl taking year off to regroup, reorganize, stay true to initial purpose
When the very first John Basilone Bowl was played in 2013, with the major involvement of the Marine Corps, the goal was to raise money to donate to wounded soldiers.

JP Stevens in the market for new football coach amid long skid
JP Stevens is looking for a new head football coach, as the program and Joe Rovito have parted ways after three seasons. The job was posted Monday by the Edison Board of Education on its district jobs portal. Rovito’s Hawks were 0-21 under his tenure from 2020 to 2022, but Stevens is mired in a…
