A look back at the 40th edition of the GMC Finals, as Monroe rewrites some of the history books with 7-0 win over Old Bridge
Throw out the seeds when the Red Division is in the GMC Tournament finals. The way the GMC has aligned its division the last few years, relying – in part – on a relegation/promotion model where division winners generally move up and last place teams move down for the next year, the Red now gets…
Another gem from Faigin, backed up by Monroe offense, gives Falcons 7-0 win over Old Bridge, first GMC Tourney title since 2015
Chances are, with Ben Faigin on the mound, Monroe is going to win the ballgame. Then again, his lone loss coming into the GMC’s Jim Muldowney Championship Final was against Old Bridge, a 9-5 road loss on April 23rd. But that was not what happened Saturday at Ray Cipperly Field in East Brunswick. In fact,…
Jim Muldowney GMC Finals Preview: Old Bridge, Monroe set to face off for title, with Knights still alive in states
It’s not much of a surprise that either third-seed Old Bridge or nine-seed Monroe will play Saturday for the Jim Muldowney GMC Tournament Championship. Just about anyone from the Red Division in the Greater Middlesex Conference (and others, too) would have been a worthy participant in one game to determine conference supremacy. But when they…
Friday NJSIAA Public State Playoff Roundup: Top-seed Old Bridge advances, but fellow GMC finalist Monroe is knocked out; Watchung Hills, No. 1 seeds Ridge, Middlesex move on; South Plainfield ousts North; Piscataway Magnet walks off again

Seven teams are all that remain from the Greater Middlesex and Skyland Conferences after the first round and quarterfinals of the NJSIAA state tournament, and all will have an opportunity to reach the section finals in their respective…
Trey Lyerly walks it off for Piscataway Magnet, 5-4 in 9, over Delaware Valley in CJ1 quarterfinals
For a group that has been tight-knit their entire careers, freshman Trey Lyerly fit right in. And after Friday afternoon’s Central Jersey Group 2 semifinal game, he’s now officially a hero. After a leadoff, five-pitch walk by Vincent Canavan in the bottom of the ninth, then a stolen base with Lyerly at the plate, the…
Bridgewater-Raritan run-rules for second straight game, advances to North 2, Group 4 semifinals, 10-0, over JP Stevens
You don’t usually see back-to-back run-rule victories in the state tournament. Especially as the lower seed in one of those games. But Bridgewater-Raritan is white-hot at just the right time, and did just that. The fifth-seeded Panthers (13-16) tacked on runs early and often en route to a 10-0, six-inning victory over fourth-seeded JP Stevens…
