It was a great season for Ridge Red Devils football, the Ridge cheerleaders and the supportive Ridge Touchdown Club. And Sunday afternoon's annual banquet team was an opportunity to recognize all that hard work, remember the bright moments, and recognize achievements. And of course, have some fun! Scholarships and awards were handed out during the banquet at the Bridgewater Marriott on Sunday afternoon. That included the first-ever C. Harry Bush Memorial Scholarship, awarded to senior Frank Ciongoli, in honor of the legendary Ridge football coach who held the position from 1965 to 1988, who died this past year. The award was presented by his daughter, Laura Bush. Of course, the afternoon was also a chance to remember good times and have …

Both the Bernards Mountaineers and Ridge Red Devils have tallied up 6-0 seasons.
It doesn't seem to hurt the toughness of either the Ridge High School Red Devils or Bernards High Mountaineers to be adding a touch of pink either to their getup on the field and for their fans in the stands. Both teams are undefeated, and both are heading out for away games on Friday night, to begin at 7 p.m. And both have added a little pink to their gridiron performances in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Cheerleaders for both teams also have added some pink to their outfits during the last month. Ridge travels to Cranford on Friday night, following last Saturday's 31-14 victory over Plainfield, clinching the Mid-State 38 Conference's Watchung Division title. The following Friday, Oct. 26, will be Ridge football's "pinkout night…

Ridge Senior Mark DePasquale, with some filming by senior Kieran McCarthy, creates video/short film of Homecoming victory.
Ridge High School senior Mark DePasquale has produced his own short film of last Friday's winning Homecoming game against North Hunterdon High School. He submitted the YouTube video to Patch in a blog. DePasquale said some of the filming was done by senior Kieran McCarthy. DePasquale said he attended last Friday's game with his camera because, "I hadn't filmed any high school football game in over three years. Since it was the homecoming game I figured that game would be appropriate to make a video for," he said. He said he also wanted to make at least one football video this years, since he has multiple friends playing on this year's varsity team, now 5-0 into the season. He said that McCarthy was willing to come out on the field and try …

Red Devils roll past North Hunterdon to improve to 5-0 on the season.
The buzz was that it was a game not to miss, for many reasons. In a season of games that have continuously satisfied fans, the Ridge High School Red Devils celebrated Friday's homecoming game with a 34-0 win over their opponents from North Hunterdon High School. A string of wins that started with the Red Devils trouncing Montgomery the first week of school, leading to a sweet victory over rival Immaculata High School and posting a most recent win against Somerville High School last week has led Ridge to a 5-0 season. Nick Franzese, Evan Skea, Mike Sibilia and Adam Walker scored touchdowns. Next week, the team faces Plainfield High School in Plainfield, and head coach Bill Tracy said that means a lot of hard work for the team, with "focus…
