Phillipsburg looking for best of both worlds in ’22: State title, and win over Easton
One of the biggest stumbling blocks over the years – though it never seemed really all that complicated in retrospect – to determining public group champions in football was what to do about Thanksgiving. And say what you might, no game is bigger than Phillipsburg-Easton, even though it only has one Jersey team playing in […]
Young, but talented Union has unfinished business, looks to keep things going against Big Central’s big boys
