Student-Athlete Profile: Samuel Golovin

Feb. 1, 2014 is a day that Samuel Golovin will never forget. Three years of frustration and disappointment ended for him and the Leonia/Palisades men’s swimming team as they finally clinched the North Jersey Interscholastic Conference (NJIC) championship. The team has not seen a championship since that triumphant day. “When I was a freshman, swimming was no longer a popular sport at our school because we lost so many seniors,” Golovin said. “Seeing all of the smiles on everyone’s faces...

For the first time since 2012, the Red Hawks failed to win the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) championship and make the national tournament, as they finished the season with a loss to the Kean Cougars in the first round of the 201...

Montclair State Football Optimistic for Future Despite Early Season Loss

The Red Hawks came into the season with lofty goals and high expectations for a banner season, but unfortunately, this plan took a hit in week one.

This was especially disappointing considering how dominant the Red Hawks were against the Knights a season ago. The Red Hawks’ quarterback, junior Ja’...
