THE JERSEY SHORE NEEDS TO STOP ALL OF OUR ‘EARLY CHRISTMAS’ COMPLAINING

in Toms River Events

It happens every year. The minute a store puts out a Christmas display or a neighbor begins to decorate their house, the complaints begin about Christmas coming too early. I’m here to tell you that this year I really think that complaining needs to stop.

First of all, this is no ordinary year. The phrase “we need a little Christmas'” has never been more appropriate in our lives. Sure, on any other ordinary year seeing Christmas stuff everywhere before you’ve even finished stealing your kids’ Halloween candy is a bit much. But not this year.

And sure, in a normal year, we can all moan that the whole holiday is too commercialized and that the focus is too much on gifts and toys and material things. But not this year. And here’s why I say that.

NJ turning rainy, windy, and then much colder: 6 things to know

in Toms River News

The Bottom Line

We face several hours of steady (if not heavy) rain Friday morning. Along with elevated winds, making for some nasty (and maybe even stormy) weather.

This is the first step in a big transition, driven by a strong cold front. As the sun comes out Friday afternoon, temperatures will start to tumble.

This weekend is going to feel much more November-ish. If not December-ish, by early next week. And there will be some rain and possibly snow showers around this weekend too.

No. 5 Toms River North ousts top-seed Clearview in SJG4 semis

in Toms River News

It was a bit of déjà vu for A.J. Emnace and some of his teammates.

For the second time in three years, the Toms River North boys soccer team made the long bus ride to Mullica Hill to face top-seeded Clearview in the NJSIAA/Wawa South Jersey, Group 4 tournament.

In 2019, the Mariners beat the Pioneers in a first-round stunner that launched their Cinderella run to the sectional championship.

This year, the fifth-seeded Mariners (15-2-1) aren’t quite the Cinderella team they were two years ago – they are ranked 16th in the NJ.com Top 20 – but they did pull off another upset on Monday, scoring a pair of second-half goals to beat top-seeded Clearview, 2-0, in the semifinals.
