• Softball players of the week for April 13-19 (nj.com subscription) — Kearny freshman pitcher Abigail Buchanan is being recognized as one of Hudson County’s top softball standouts after striking out 44 batters in 22 innings and leading the Kardinals to dominant wins. The statewide roundup also spotlights other high school players, but Buchanan’s performance puts Kearny firmly on the New Jersey softball map this week. 
• Secaucus Police Blotter, April 13 (patch.com) — A recent Secaucus police blotter notes that a 29-year-old Kearny man was briefly jailed on a Newark warrant during a traffic stop before posting bail and being released.
