📰 News we're reading

• Another multiplier goes down as St. Augustine falls into D category, may eventually benefit Big Central squads (cjsportsradio.com) — Hillsborough's 1-4 football squad still has a path to the South Group 5 playoffs if it can surge in the season's second half, thanks to shifting NJSIAA multiplier status for St. Augustine. Changes to how opponents earn OSI points from playing the Hermits could slightly improve Hillsborough's chances, along with several other Big Central Conference teams.
   

• Alien world chemistry found inside meteorite that struck New Jersey home (scientificinquirer.com) — Researchers have confirmed that a meteorite which crashed through a Hillsborough home's roof in 2024 contains rare, salt-rich material from a primitive asteroid, offering clues about how life's building blocks formed. Thanks to the homeowner's careful handling of the fragments, scientists now have some of the most pristine samples of this meteorite type, linking Hillsborough to cutting-edge astrobiology research worldwide.
