ABDINOOR IS BACK AT IT By: Jason Struck

Matthew Abdinoor is ready to take on the new volleyball season after being cut short by covid-19.


 “I’m pretty confident in this year we’ll be able to do pretty good,” Abdinoor exclaimed when I asked him how well he thinks his team will do this year. Abdinoor thinks that he will still be able to compete at his highest level even with covid striking and his second season cut short.


“It sucks that we couldn’t play, but I’m Just glad that I’ll be able to play this year,” Abdinoor states. After Covid hit and Abdinoor's season ended short, he knows he is going to be rusty, but he’s just excited to get back on the court.


Abdinoor is most excited about being able to see his team in action. I asked him what he was most excited about going into the new season. “I’m really excited to see my teammates again and to play with them.” 


At the end of the day, Abdinoor is truly pumped to play some volleyball this Spring for the Falcons. “I’m really excited to see my teammates again and to play with them.” He even states he can’t wait to get back on the court with his family. 


Abdinoor hopes to go to the next level, from playing at a small high school in New Jersey to some big universities like Kentucky and Villanova. He’s willing to put in all the work he has to make it to the next level. Watch out for Abdinoor.


Even though his season was cut short last year, Abdinoor and his team are ready to get back on the court and do what they do best.

Photo by [Mike Gould]      Mike Gould is a Senior at Jefferson Township High School. 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.
