Roxbury Ice Hockey Update:
Gaels Down Montville on Ice
After its first mini-losing streak of the season, the Roxbury High School ice hockey team responded quite well last Saturday.
Roxbury (11-3) snapped a two-game losing streak and has won three of its last five games.
The 11 goals scored were the most by Roxbury this season, since a 10-1 victory over West Morris on January 7th.

Roxbury Ice Hockey Freezes Sparta for Shutout
The Roxbury High School ice hockey team shut-out Sparta on Tuesday, a win that brought the Gaels' record to 13-3.

Roxbury High School Basketball Update:
Roxbury Nips Parsippany Hills at Buzzer - Boys Basketball
For all intents and purposes, this one was over at halftime. Parsippany Hills was shooting the lights out of its own gym, raining 3-pointers all over, most of which were coming from senior guard Evan Chao.
But Roxbury was not about to give in. It didn't matter that the Gaels had all of one win this season. The game wasn't over in their eyes.
So the Gaels with their 1-9 record came back out after the discouraging first half, tightened up their sneakers and made a run at the Vikings. Slowly, methodically, they crept back into the game, first cutting the lead to 11 after three periods (57-46), then slicing the lead to six (64-58 with 3:36 left).
Click here to read more about how the Gaels pulled off a win from the Daily Record.
Parsippany Hills (35) at Roxbury (47) - Girls Basketball
Giovanna Harrigan scored 14 points and Melissa Murphy and Sarah Olivero each added nine points apiece to lead Roxbury to a 47-35 victory over Parsippany Hills in Succasunna.
Victoria Lombardi scored 15 points with three 3-pointers and Katie Kerrigan added 12 for Parsippany Hills.

Check Your Honeywell Settings!
Don't wait until severe weather hits to check your settings. You may want to change your time time settings from Midnight to Midnight and have more than one way of being contacted...i.e. phone call/text message and or email. This way if the phone lines are down/circuits are busy etc., you are covered.
