High school foursome takes state Tournament of Champions at Cherry Valley Golf Course in Skillman.
The Ridge High School girls golf team won the state Tournament of Champions in a matchup of eight of New Jersey's top teams held Thursday at Cherry Valley Golf Course in Skillman. The three-year winning streak means that the girls varsity golf team has taken the state championship for most of the five years that the varsity girls golf program has existed. Senior Hana Ku, who was part of the last two years' winning team, led this year's foursome, golfing a 73, said head girls golf Coach Siobhan Devlin. Sophomores Monica Schumacher and Yunhee Kang each golfed a 81; and senior Katie Cappola golfed a 90, Devlin said. "I am thrilled," Devlin said on Thursday after the victory. She said the parents of the team had been very supportive, and, "The…

Red-carpet looks combine with warm memories for seniors and friends getting together for a big night for Class of '13.
Friday was truly a night to remember for Ridge High School seniors and their dates — some from other classes or towns — who put on a display of elegance as they arrived for the prom party at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany. But beneath all the finery, the students still were a group of friends who were taking advantage of one of the last chances for the Ridge class of 2013 to get together for a big special occasion — at least until next month's graduation. Many of the students also attended pre-prom parties around the town. Principal Frank Howlett and other chaperones were waiting for the students as they arrived — many riding with groups in limos — to help keep the evening organized. Please add your own photos. — Terry Boudreau …
