Gibbons lone representative for boys after finishing fourth individually at group meet.
The Ridge Red Devils cross country team participated in the Group IV championship meet this past Saturday, qualifying several runners—including the girls’ team and star runner Tyler Gibbons—for the Meet of Champions this Saturday in Holmdel. The girls' team finished fifth at the group meet, capturing the last wild card berth into the Meet of Champions. It was a great accomplishment for the Red Devils’ girls, despite what their coach said was not their best day. “We just didn’t show up that day, unfortunately,” said Red Devils’ head cross country coach Tim Mooney. “It was probably our weakest race of the year so far. It was disappointing; fortunately, they still move on.” The previous week, the girls had won a sectional title. Mooney said …

Ridge football ends the season as a team that knows the meaning of teamwork, as well as with a 48-14 victory over Kearny.
Friday's game on a chilly night — which ended up as a victory against Kearny that boosted the Ridge Red Devils football final record to 3-7 for this year — was the last time that many of the players and other supporters who had participated this fall would be together on Lee Field. (unless you count as graduating seniors next June.) The 48-14 win at home over Kearny was a nice touch, as was the continuing support from parents, cheerleaders, the Ridge Marching Band and a chunk of diehard fans, some of them wrapped in blankets. Moms sold football sweatshirts and other memorabilia, and cooked chili and distributed warm drinks at the Devils Food kitchen. Our final football fans of the year said they were there to show their pride in the Red …

Friends Dwayne Feaster, Nico Abbate and Grant Rappert stick it out to the end.
This week's final Red Devils football fans are three friends who made it to their team's last game for 2011. Dwayne Feaster and Grant Rappert, eighth graders at the William Annin Middle School and Nico Abbate, a freshman at Ridge High School, were at the edge of the field even before the post-season game started on Friday night. The post-season game against Kearny would be the Red Devils last game for this year. So why did they come out on a cold winter night? "The pride of the Red Devils," said Grant. Dwayne said he had been at every game. Nico's reason? "The cheerleaders, mostly." Nico added that the enjoyed seeing the Red Devils win sometimes, and it was particularly exciting to see the game go into overtime against Linden. Dwayne said …
Ridge Red Devils football wins 48-14 in post-season game against Kearny.
"When you support your team, you're going to be there in good times and bad," said Red Devils football (and Ridge marching band) fan Mike Mason, one of the brave who watched the football team's final game of the year on Friday night. As temperatures dipped into the lower 40s, and after the end of the Red Devils' regular season, the crowd was sparse, although the stands had started filling in by the end of the first quarter. By that time, the Devils were giving the diehard fans a show for their money, leading the Kearny Cardinals by 21-7 after the first quarter. Johnny Graves ended the last few seconds of the quarter by topping off the lead with an extra kick. The game was played at home at Lee Field. UPDATE: The final score was 48 to 14, …
