Big G Does All He Can By Jason Taylor

Five games, six home runs Giancarlo Stanton is mashing in the playoffs. Giancarlo Stanton came up one game short of the record for most postseason games in a row with a home run. His streak ended after he hit a jam shot double off the wall. One inch to the right and the ball would have gone 500 feet, but that's baseball. 

Stanton has been carrying the Yankees offense in the playoffs. The Yankees who are a home run or strikeout team have been doing more striking out than hitting. The Yankees were eliminated on Friday by the Tampa Bay Rays in a game where they managed to score just one run. Stanton did all he could as in the playoffs he hit .387 with 6 home runs and 13 RBI’s. The numbers are unreal but unfortunately he was the only one who seemed to show up. 

The Yankees are in big trouble for the future if they don’t figure something out. They are not a real baseball team, they are a home run team. If the Yankees don’t get players who can consistently get on base it will be years and years of losing in the playoffs.

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

His passion was always lacrosse. He began playing in second grade and fell in love with the game and hopes to carry on his love through college.
