Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Barnegat's Undefeated Run Halted by Monmouth in 35-17 Clash for Class D North Supremacy (TAPinto.net) — Barnegat football fans saw the Bengals' perfect season end Friday as Monmouth Regional pulled away in the second half for a 35-17 win, despite an early touchdown run and scoring pass from freshman quarterback Zach McCrohan. The loss in Barnegat gives Monmouth at least a share of the Class D North title, but the Bengals remain well-positioned for a strong seed and potential deep state playoff run.
• Why Was the Ocean So Blue at the Jersey Shore This Summer? Here's What Caused the Caribbean-Like Water (shorenewsnetwork.com) — If you noticed unusually blue water near Barnegat Inlet this summer, scientists say calm seas, less sediment, and bright sunshine combined to reveal the Atlantic's natural blue color. The explainer walks through how weather, runoff, and tiny marine organisms affect water clarity from Long Beach Island down to Cape May, and why color alone doesn't guarantee cleaner or safer swimming conditions.
