All that’s left of the regular season are a few odds and ends plus games to fill out the slight lull before the playoffs begin on Tuesday.  

Each of the teams in the Top 10 has a shot at taking home a sectional title and earning a berth into state championship weekend. All you have to do is keep winning. 

Here is a final look at the top teams heading into the playoffs:  

1. Haddonfield (record through Tuesday 13-1, last week 3) 

The Bulldogs pulled off the upset of the season with an overtime win at Moorestown last week. Does anyone remember the last South Jersey team other than Shawnee to pull off that feat? Answer below. 

Playoff opener: South Group 1 first-round vs. No. 16 Collingswood 

2. Cherokee (15-0, 2) 

South Jersey’s last remaining unbeaten has the last great test ahead of it on Friday against Lenape.  

Playoff opener: South 4 vs. (16) Williamstown 

3. Moorestown (11-2, 1) 

The Quakers haven’t been ranked below No. 1 in South Jersey since 2010, which should make the South 3 playoff field very nervous. 

Playoff opener: South 3 quarterfinal on June 5 

4. Lenape (10-2, 4) 

Lenape has a tasty playoff tuneup ahead on Friday when they host Cherokee for what could be a South 4 championship preview. 

Playoff opener: South 4 vs. (14) Howell 

5. Cherry Hill West (11-2, 5) 

The breakout team on 2021, the Lions should see their first real test on the South 3 semifinals. 

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (14) Brick Memorial 

6. Clearview (11-5, 6) 

The Gloucester County Cup is on tap for Wednesday against West Deptford, then the No. 2 seed in south 3 thanks to a head-to-head win against Shawnee.  

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (15) Toms River East 

7. Ocean City (10-3, 10) 

Nothing shakes up the Top 10 quite like a head-to-head battle. Ocean City nipped Mainland on Senior Night to jump up to the No. 7 spot.  

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (13) Jackson

A quick video trip to Ringwood State Park and Ringwood Manor in Ringwood, N.J.

RINGWOOD — If you’ve always craved a chance to see some old New Jersey projectile points, hide scrapers and other stone tools from as early as 6,000 B.C., a June event at Ringwood Manor State Park is your ticket..

Organized by the North Jersey Highlands Historical Society, the June 13 event will display and explain examples of the early stone tools and let collectors bring their own artifacts for expert assessment — and possible disappointment.

The society ran a similar event in 2014, said Ralph Colfax, the historical society president. Attendees came with items they uncovered in their yards, in a family collection or while hiking and brought them forward, Colfax said. Some were legitimate, he added. Some just looked like it.

Frequently, an object that appears to be a stone tool is a natural phenomenon, said Edward Lenik, a past president of the Archaeological Society of New Jersey and the historical society’s top expert on Ramapough Lenape artifacts.

“Very often, I have collectors come to me or my office and show me their artifacts, but there’s no evidence of wear or manufacturing,” Lenik said. “Sometimes, they’re just naturally shaped stones.”

The June event is scheduled for 1:30 to 4 p.m. at Ringwood Manor State Park, which houses its own collection of prehistoric artifacts. Many were unearthed as the property was farmed under private ownership in the 1700s and 1800s, Lenik said. Farms, and other locations with freshly tilled soils, have traditionally been among the…

NEWTON, NJ—The Newton Lacrosse Goalie, sophomore, Rylan Ivaldi surpassed 100 saves over the course of the past week as Newton took on Lenape Valley twice.

On Tuesday, May 11, Newton took on Lenape Valley in a regular season game and then on Saturday, May 15, they played them in the second round of the H/W/S tournament, unfortunately losing in both games.

On top was Ivaldi, putting up 17 saves during those two games, according to Head Coach Patrick Regan. These 17 saves surpassed 100 saves in total so far this season.

“Rylan has kept us in games we should have lost because of his talent,” said sophomore midfielder Robert McCullough, “It’s unheard of to have 100 saves in a season, let alone a sophomore season.”

According to Regan, it has only taken Ivaldi nine games this season to soar past the 100 save mark while anchoring the young defense, which consists of three sophomores and two freshman.

Matt McClean, another sophomore defenseman said, “Rylan is hardworking and fearless. When the ball crosses the 50, he turns on the intensity and leads our defense.”

Coach Regan agrees with the players, “Having Rylan in the cage allows our offense to be more aggressive on the other side of the field. His consistency and discipline instill confidence in all his teammates and frees them up to put added pressure on opponents.” 

The future looks bright for this young team, as all but co-captain senior Donovan Thomas will be returning next year with a full season of experience.

Jamaica is a popular destination for tourists and that’s particularly true for people in the U.S. However, there are also three cities in the U.S. that bear the name Jamaica, each with its own unique history.

Jamaica, Vermont

The Vermont city wasn’t actually named after the Caribbean island. The word Jamaica is from the Natick language of the indigenous people living in the region. The word means “beaver.” Located in the state’s Windham Co., the name was even included in the city’s charter and encompasses 42 square miles.

One of the things that Jamaica, VT was known for in its early days was abundant woodlands and waterways where beavers dwelled. It’s interesting to note that the island of Jamaica’s earliest inhabitants, the Tainos, called their island Xaymaca. The adaptation of the word means “land of wood and water.”

Jamaica, New York

Jamaica is also a neighborhood in Queens, NY that’s home to a significant African American and Caribbean population. The community in Queens, NY can also be traced to beavers, along with the early Native Americans that lived there known as the Lenape. The word beaver in Lenape is yameco.

The first Europeans to make contact with the Lenape were Dutch and they tried to use the spelling rules of their own language to capture the name, which corrupted the word into yamecah. Over time, the word transformed into Jamaica.

The Lenape word yameco was…

KENILWORTH, NJ – On Tuesday afternoon, the Kenilworth Police Department was quick on the scene to catch a suspect who had stolen a vehicle and then eluded the police following a car chase. The incident happened at 4:31 p.m.

Ptl. Brett Byron was conducting a stationary radar detail near the Boulevard and Wilshire Drive when she observed a 2005 Ford Econoline Van traveling west at a high rate of speed. Ptl. Byron attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop of the van who then suddenly turned north through a number of backstreets attempting to elude the officer. 

The KPD stated that the van traveled through an open gate at the dead end of Wilshire Drive and onto the property of Flexi Van located at 251 Monroe Ave.  It was there when the suspect bailed out of the vehicle on foot and headed straight for Union County’s Lenape and Nomahegan Park.
