Marbrey makes her mark as new Mercer prosecutor BY ARIANNA MCCLEOD

Janetta Marbrey’s path to becoming Mercer County Prosecutor began in a high school civics class. While prosecuting her teacher, who was playing the role of “The General,” in a mock trial on the Kent State massacre, she pressed him with a question. When he hesitated, she quipped, “Oh, General, you have trouble hearing?”—a sharp reference to the very miscommunication that led to the tragedy. The class erupted, and at that moment, Marbrey’s interest in law took hold, shaping her future
in prosecution. Growing up, Marbrey saw the meaning of hard work firsthand. Her father, a truck driver, and her mother, a kitchen supervisor at Ohio State University, poured their energy into their work, showing her that success isn’t given—it’s earned. Their determination became the foundation of her own drive, pushing her to chase her ambitions with the same relentless work ethic. “The two of them were very hard workers, and I knew that was something that was integral in my family,” says Marbrey, See MARBREY , Page 8

And had he not started hockey, the West WindsorPlainsboro co-op ice hockey team might not have been a state South Public Co-Op Tournament qualifier. “Without Nad-e, we would not be able to be in the position we’re in this year, let alone have done as well we did in previous years, although this is our best season,” said Andy Borowsky, head coach of the
United, who were 10-7 at the end of the regular season. “He’s just the game changer. He’s like a brick wall. It’s unreal.” Nad-e-Ali, a senior goalie out of High School South who is in his second year as a team captain, has posted some huge numbers throughout his career. This year, he made 56 saves in a loss to Notre Dame. He made 38 saves in a 1-0 shutout of Paul VI, a team that beat WW-P, 6-2, earlier in the season. He had 59 saves a year ago against East Brunswick and a season-best 47 saves as a sophomore and 37 saves against RobSee HOCLEY, Page 19
