• 2x N.J. wrestling state champion stays home, commits to Rutgers (nj.com subscription) — Rumson-Fair Haven wrestling standout Sonny Amato, the program's first two-time individual state champion, has decided to stay close to home and commit to Rutgers. After a difficult summer and a decommitment from Iowa, the nationally ranked 150-pounder says he's ready to chase more titles while continuing the Bulldogs' dominant run that already includes three straight Group 2 team crowns.
• Sept. 13, 2001, the 'aftershock:' From the Asbury Park Press archives (app.com) — Rumson is remembered among several Monmouth County towns that still had residents unaccounted for in the World Trade Center wreckage just two days after 9/11. This archival look back captures the tense vigils in local churches and schools as families across the Shore waited for news, highlighting how deeply the attacks touched nearby communities like Red Bank, Middletown, Holmdel, and Rumson.
