• Swatting Calls Under Investigation In Wall, Police Say (patch.com) — Families in Wall are being reassured after police confirmed that recent threatening phone calls to local schools appear to be part of broader swatting hoaxes, not credible dangers. Wall Township police say they are actively investigating alongside school staff and emphasize that schools and the community remain safe, while similar incidents have also affected nearby Howell and Brick.
   

• Wall boys soccer rides hot start to victory over Asbury Park (nj.com subscription) — Wall High School's boys soccer team continued its strong run with a 5–1 win over Asbury Park, jumping out to a four-goal lead before conceding late.
