Franklin Township, NJ &mdash; Franklin High School junior Aadit Sehgal has made history for the school&rsquo;s boys tennis program, becoming the first player in more than a decade to reach the County Semifinals during the 2024&ndash;2025 season while competing as a sophomore.
Aadit Sehgal&rsquo;s breakthrough season was defined by consistency, resilience, and high-level performance against some of the county&rsquo;s top competitors. Playing at the top of Franklin&rsquo;s singles lineup, he secured the majority of his matches, establishing himself as one of the team&rsquo;s most reliable and impactful players.
Known for his composure under pressure and disciplined style of play, Aadit Sehgal consistently delivered in critical moments. His ability to maintain focus during long rallies and execute strategically in tight matches played a key role in his postseason success and the team&rsquo;s overall competitiveness.
Despite being one of the younger players on the team last season, Sehgal also demonstrated strong leadership qualities. Through his work ethic, preparation, and positive attitude, he helped set the tone in practices and supported teammates in building a culture of accountability and growth alongside the coaching staff.
Following his historic run, Sehgal expressed appreciation for the leadership and support behind Franklin High athletics. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m extremely grateful to Athletic Director for the vision and leadership in building a strong athletic culture at Franklin High School,&rdquo;
Sehgal said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m also very thankful to our coaches for their guidance and dedication to the team. Their support has made a huge impact on my development as both a player and teammate.&rdquo;
Sehgal&rsquo;s advancement to the County Semifinals represents a significant milestone for the Franklin High boys tennis program and reflects the collective efforts of the school&rsquo;s athletic leadership, coaching staff, and student-athletes.
Sehgal is eager to return to competition and continue building on last year&rsquo;s momentum. With the new tennis season just begun, he looks forward to competing alongside his teammates and further elevating the program.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m really looking forward to the season,&rdquo; Sehgal said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been putting in the work, and I&rsquo;m excited for what we can accomplish as a team this year.&rdquo;
Franklin High School athletics officials note that Sehgal&rsquo;s dedication, leadership, and competitive spirit have helped set a new standard for the boys tennis program and will continue to inspire future student-athletes.

NJ Ketamine Pioneer Opens 2nd Clinic in South Plainfield

Reyou Ketamine Treatments

Reyou Ketamine Treatments, the NJ mental health practice that has delivered more than 8,000 transformative treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mood disturbances, has opened its 2nd clinic at 908 Oak Tree Road in South Plainfield. The expansion comes as the practice's Howell location is consistently booked, with demand for relief of mental health symptoms surging across Central NJ. The expansion comes as treatment-resistant depression affects an estimated 2.8 million Americans, and most patients still don't know that Spravato — the FDA-approved nasal spray form of ketamine — is covered by most commercial and federally funded insurance plans, including Horizon, Cigna, and Aetna. "People come to us after years of trying medications that didn't work for depression, anxiety, PTSD — they're exhausted. They've lost hope," said Michael Langer, founder of Reyou. "What our team has seen across 8,000 treatments is that ketamine doesn't just relieve symptoms — it gets at the root and gives people a window where real change becomes possible. Our job is to make sure that window is maximized for lasting change." Despite growing clinical evidence and FDA approval, access to ketamine-based treatments in NJ remains limited. Many clinics offer infusions as a standalone service — administer the IV, send the patient home. However, Reyou was built on a different premise. Every treatment at Reyou includes integration support — guided sessions during the critical neuroplasticity window that ketamine creates, designed to help patients process their experience and build lasting change. It's a model informed by data from Harvard-affiliated clinics studying more than 2,000 patients. "The treatment opens a door. Integration is what helps people walk through it," said Langer. "We don't do drive-through ketamine. Reyou was built around what actually produces lasting results." The 908 Oak Tree Road location is now scheduling appointments.
