“The PA” #2: The Best Show On Ice

January 6, 2020

Midd South Hockey is holding its weight as a Top 20 team in the state of New Jersey. Even after dropping two games to Hillsborough and Ridge, the team entered the new decade with five wins and swiftly picked up one more on the 2nd after blanking Southern 3-0. On Monday, a big matchup with CBA looms, b...

It really is over. In yet another Thanksgiving Day matchup between the North and South, the Eagles bested their crosstown rivals 21-7 to keep the Middletown Cup on the south side of town for another year. The game was a fitting end not only for the careers of the seniors but also for a season that...

Middletown South Girls Soccer ended a truly historic season with a 22-2 record, an A North Title and a North Jersey Section 2 Group 3 championship. Earlier in the season, on the heels of their notable tenth straight win, I sat down with Coach Megan Barry, South English teacher, to get the inside scoop o...

Middletown High School South and Middletown High School North have held a long-standing rivalry since the early 80s. But this year, the time came for the Middletown schools to reunite again, the unlikely duo having formed the school’s first-ever competitive girls volleyball team, coached by teachers haili...

I was unable to make the game against Hammonton due to other commitments, but I certainly heard and read about it. The Eagles, on all accounts, played hard enough on both sides of the ball to go blow-for-blow with the #1 seed in the Central Jersey Group IV bracket until the bitter end. Yet, in as tigh...

Boy, have these Eagles hit their stride. Hamilton West was a 7-1 football team with a 1,000 yard rusher in Kevin Boswell, but the Eagles turned the Hornets into fresh meat in a 24-7 rout. The Big 4 showed up big time on a freezing Friday night: Tyler Cuccia was a first down machine, Vinny Condito bul...

The Eagles looked like their dominant, 2018 selves on Friday night after thrashing Brick Township 28-7 in a game that was, first and foremost, a Chris Lotito onslaught. #26 put together one of the Shore’s best performances in 2019 with 201 rushing yards on 21 carries (averaging an absurd 9.5 yards ...

Down goes RFH for the second straight year. Down goes the Shore’s #2. Down goes NJ’s #20. These Eagles never fail to surprise me. Without several key players, the Eagles came out on top. RFH played horribly all night on both ends, but all that matters is that Middletown South played well on...
