Absolutely floored by news that Middlesex County legend Ron Mazzola passed suddenly this morning. Nobody gave more of himself to HS sports. The voice of Old Bridge and a key figure in state wrestling and gymnastics. A fantastic human being and fellow diehard Mets fan. RIP, bro!

Somerville will never find an AD more dedicated to building winning, successful athletic programs. Congrats to Kyle Franey on everything he helped build - including at his previous stops. And congrats to all coaches and athletes on a fantastic season across the board at The Ville
The first coaches I hired as an AD at Somerville - fittingly playing in the last game as an AD. Thank you for following the greatest athletic programs in Somerset County history in their most successful year in 100+ years. 4 sectional championships and a Group Title.
