ROBBINSVILLE, NJ (MERCER)—Statement from the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association- NJSIAA about the spring sports season:
“Following today’s announcement by Governor Murphy, the NJSIAA has officially canceled New Jersey’s 2020 high school spring sports season. This decision was not made lightly and we are disappointed for the thousands of New Jersey student-athletes who will be unable to compete this spring. While we remained hopeful to the end, and left open every possibility, competition simply is not feasible given the circumstances.
“The last few weeks have been heartbreaking on many levels, from the tragic loss of life, to thousands battling the virus, to millions who have suffered emotional and economic loss. It’s been a harrowing time for everyone, and we know our student-athletes are extremely disappointed. That said, these unfortunate circumstances may have put an intriguing challenge in the path of our young people. As New Jersey’s own Vince Lombardi once said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.” We’re confident all our kids will get back up and stand tall.
“The NJSIAA will continue developing plans for the potential restarting of scholastic sports during the fall season. Additional information related both to the summer recess and fall will be shared at a later date.”
Governor Murphy: “We’re leaning on the guidance from the NJSIAA against the resumption of spring sports for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. The NJSIAA Medical Board concluded that due to a lack of testing, viable treatments, and a vaccine, that spring sports were not a viable option.”

competition.

November 6, 2019, ALLENTOWN, NJ –A NJSIAA “Play in game” between Allentown and Robbinsville football teams to resolve a seeding issue with the playoff bracket was held tonight. Allentown had enough power points for the spot, while Robbinsville football was 9-0 in the season and a rule stated they were eligible for a playoff spot. After a NJSIAA decision a “play in game” was scheduled Wednesday night to resolve the conflict by expanding that part of the bracket.
Both Robbinsville and Allentown football teams evenly matched played their hearts out. Robbinsville scored first early in the first quarter and then Allentown was able to eventually work their way towards the win.
Allentown will advance in the bracket with a game against Wall Township High School at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The game was supposed to be held Friday night and NJSIAA wanted Monday night but with conflicts the game will be on Sunday.
Robbinsville Football finished their season 9-1 with loss against Allentown for the playoff spot.
Good luck Allentown with the playoff game Sunday at Wall.
Robbinsville #20 Collin Tonry crosses the goal line for the 1st touch down of the game 
Robbinsville # 23 Shawn Updegraff sends one over the goal posts the kick is good
Allentown # 8 Ramsey Ben Flah runs the ball across the goal line for a touchdown.

Allentown # 8 Ramsey Ben Flah runs one in for the touchdown. 
Allentown #5 Kaushal Kallam comes up with a big catch. 
Allentown #18 Sal D’Adamo with a touchdown. 
ALLENTOWN-ROBBINSVILE, NJ– When I received a text message this afternoon at 2:34 p.m. that there was a football game at Allentown at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night against Robbinsville my first thought it was a mistake or possibly a JV game since most games are Friday nights or Saturdays. Yes, it is for real and it is a “play-in” game to solve a power points issue between Allentown and Robbinsville football teams.
What happened is that Robbinsville in their division went 9-0 and a rule stating any team going 8-0 or better eligible for a playoff spot. Allentown had enough power points to earn their spot creating the conflict for the same spot. To solve the issue the NJSIAA New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association decided on the “play-in” game by expanding the bracket a game.
The winner of the “play-in” game will play at Wall Township at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
ROBBINSVILLE, NJ– Walk down a dark, winding path with the Robbinsville High School Raven Players’ production of The Crucible by Arthur Miller. Witness the town of Salem, Massachusetts as it is thrown into a state of paranoia. Anyone can be a witch, and no one can be trusted.
The Crucible weaves the sobering tale of the mass hysteria caused by the Salem Witch Trials. Abigail, a young girl living with her uncle, Reveren Parris, has been having a torrid love affair with her employer, John Proctor, a married man. When John, overcome with guilt, confesses this to his wife Elizabeth, Abigail is fired at once. When Abigail commits a terrible sin, she will tell one, inconsequential lie to protect herself and others. As rumors begin to spread like wildfire and the town is plunged into a state of madness, Abigail’s small lie quickly spirals out of control. The Crucible, informed by historical events, exemplifies how quickly one white lie can turn against you, portraying a solemn, timeless tale that still rings true today.
Come see the dark tale of The Crucible by Arthu Miller in the Robbinsville High School auditorium(155 Robbinsville-Edinburg road, Robbinsville, NJ) on November 21, 22, and 23rd at 7:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased for $10 in advance at http://www.rp.booktix.com , or at the door. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
Reverend Parris (Jack Cavanaugh-Gialloreto) and Abigail Williams (Gabriella Natale) have a heated exchange as Betty (Isabella Riether) lays nearby. 
Ann (Alyssa Basch) and Thomas Putnam (Laura Bradley) plead for help over Betty Parris (Isabella Riether) 
Betty (Isabella Riether) and Susanna (Isabel Cox) confront Abigail (Gabriella Natale) about what truly happened in the woods.
