Over the last four years, Dayton teen Alex Klein has watched his beloved grandmother turn from a vibrant member of the family into a virtual stranger.

Top five ranked Ali Yildiz and Jordan Pagano lead the South Brunswick High School team into districts as the road to Atlantic City for the state championships begins.
This season has been one of transition for the South Brunswick High School wrestling team. New head coach Bobby Januska took over the reigns of the program from the legendary Joe Dougherty this year, after the long time coach stepped down in 2012 after amassing a school record 305 wins. Januska, who spent six seasons as an assistant at SBHS after coming over from North Brunswick, has the Vikings sitting at 16-13 as the District 20 Tournament begins this weekend. "The transition has been really smooth and that's a credit to the kids," Januska said. "Coach Dougherty's philosophy is the same as mine and he left the program in good standing, so I just hope to be able to continue the tradition." Januska also credited the influence of Dougherty …
