All Good Things Must Come to an End By Jason Taylor

All good things must come to an end and for the Marlins their miracle run has come up short. After an unbelievable season that the Marlins should without a doubt be proud of, the Atlanta Braves just proved to be too much.

The Marlins came out hot in game 1 scoring four runs off the Braves ace Max Fried but a six run seventh inning would be the nail in the coffin for the fish. The final score of game 1 was 9-5. Those five runs would be the only runs Miami would score for the rest of the series because in the next two games the Braves pitching was absolutely electric. And as any old man watching baseball will tell you 1,000 times, you can’t win if you can’t score. But the scoring was not the only problem. The pitching staff could not handle the Braves high powered offense as in the three games they scored 18 runs. The Atlanta Braves will advance to face the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Even though the Marlins season is over fans can keep their heads held high looking into the future. The Marlins have a super young and super talented pitching staff headed by Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez and Sixto Sanchez. They have a lot of young hitters that are fast and exciting to watch like Jazz Chsiholm and Monte Harrison. The Marlins might be going home now but I Guarantee that we have not seen the last of the Fish.

Gould is the starting running back for the Varsity football team and is determined to bring home a state championship. I interviewed Gould on Friday, October 2nd, about the season opener against West Milford.        Gould got named the starting running back and Captain of the 2020 football season. After being named Captain, Gould said, “The way that I am going to act like a leader is to continue to do what I have been doing, and be a vocal leader for the whole team.” This is the third straight year that Gould has been a Captain - he led the Falcons to the playoffs the previous two years.       Due to Covid-19 the 2020 season has started very differently but the Falcons have a new game plan and are still planning on improving. Gould said, “This year has been a lot different due to Covid but we still did the basics of watching film, running over plays and having team meetings. We are looking to keep gett

   Is the Ski Industry in the MID Atlantic at Risk?         By Ryan Clarkson             Industries across the world have taken a heavy hit due to the COVID-19 virus, including the ski and snowboard industry. The 2019/2020 season was cut short due to covid, and riders are left wondering what's in store for the winter months. Upcoming snowboarder Colby Clarkson’s progress was put to a halt when resorts shut down in March. Clarkson said, “Toward the end of the season my progress and recognition was really increasing. When covid hit I missed out on important trips as well as valuable training time.” As the season approaches, riders such as Clarkson are left with some unanswered questions.            Although nobody knows exactly what this season holds, there is  a glimpse of covid-related precautions that may be taken. Here in Northern New Jersey, Big Snow American Dream offers the first year round on snow experience in the western hemisphere. After opening in December, the freezer wa
