Somerset County’s indoor track and field teams went right to work after the turn of the calendar.

One day after the New Year, Bridgewater-Raritan High School was among its county’s squads that competed at this year’s edition of the Somerset County Indoor Track and Field Relay Championships, which were contested Friday, January 2, at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

Alex Kotelnikov connected with one goal and handed out two assists to spark the 12th-ranked Bridgewater-Raritan High School ice hockey team to a 5-1 victory over Hunterdon Central Regionnal High School on Friday, January2, at the Rock Ice Center in Dunellen.

One roadblock nearly denied Bridgewater-Raritan High School its bid to make even more history in the final week of 2025.

Already unbeaten through their first five games for the first time since the 2011-12 season, the Panthers’ boys’ basketball team had a longer layover than originally planned prior to its two-game showcase at Montgomery High School’ s Cougar Holiday Classic, which took place on Monday, December 29 and Tuesday, December 30 in Skillman.

Opening Night did not go as planned at Vaughn Stapleton Gymnasium.

Now in his fourth season in charge of the Bridgewater-Raritan High School girls’ basketball team, Xavier Brooks realized something after the Panthers fell by 26 points at home to rival Pingry School, which also pitched a shutout in the second quarter.
