Video: North Brunswick vs. South Brunswick Highlights
On Thursday, September 21, 2023, South Brunswick faced North Brunswick in a county match and it did not disappoint.
Star News reporter Michael Cuneo received national recognition for his coverage of high school sports this week as the 2023 Top 10 results of the Associated Press Sports Editors Annual Essay Contest were announced.
Cuneo ranked among the highest in the country in the C division circulation category for descriptive and beat writing.
His beats are high school sports in Wilmington, the diversity of wrestling, Hoggard’s multi-sport athletes recovering from a tragic car accident, baseball in South Brunswick, which produces the nation’s No. 1 prospect, and longtime rivals. Victories in relationships, and Laney’s battle with cancer as a football player, were part of the winning package.
