Sports, Real Estate, Opinions, Calendar, Arts WALLINGTON, ST. MARY’S ADVANCE Panthers, Gaels headed to state football finals By W.L. Bill Allen Jr. Special to The Leader In case you hadn’t noticed, this is a pretty good year as far as local football is concerned. Even though perennial power Becton and upstart North Arlington were both edged out of the post-season by just a handful of power points, a very healthy three of the eight gridiron contingents from The Leader coverage area reaped postseason play positions and two of those three have now advanced to the state finals. In North Jersey Section 1, Group 1, second-seeded Wallington got a late-game field goal to clip Cresskill, the third seed, 41-38, on Saturday, Nov. 20, at WHS. That result propels the Panthers into the North 1, Group 1 title tilt, where the 10-1 WHS pigskin players platoon will face top-slotted, 10-0 Mountain Lakes, at 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, at the New Meadowlands Stadium. In what many would call the
unfairly merged Non-Public Groups 1 and 2 bracket, No. 4 St. Mary High of Rutherford, a Group 1 school, upset the top seed, Holy Cross, a Group 2 member, 32-22, on Friday night, Nov. 19, in southern New Jersey. That outcome gives the Gaels a 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, crown clash date at Rutgers Stadium against the third seed, Saint Joseph of Hammonton, a Group 2 gang which embarrassed the second seed, St. Anthony of Jersey City, 50-8, in the state semifinals round. Unable to make it a clean sweep, previously unbeaten Rutherford ended a fine 2010 campaign at 10-1 when the thirdslotted locals lost to second spotted Madison, 34-25, on Saturday, Nov. 20, at MHS. The Dodgers will face the top-spotted James Caldwell High Chiefs in the North 2, Group 2 title tilt on Friday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. at Kean University Stadium. E-mail NJSportAction@aol.com

Jon was happy to get our news. At PSE&G we’re dedicated to making things work for our customers and that includes lowering the cost of energy whenever we can. With our latest rate reduction, we have reduced residential natural gas supply charges by 28% since January of 2009. And while so many other household costs have greatly increased, the cost for electric supply has remained relatively flat since 2009. That’s good news for all of us. Savings for our customers.
