Albert J. Countryman, Jr./The Sun Washington Township High School football players celebrate winning the Group 5 New Jersey Championship on stage during the Parade of Champions at Washington Lake Park on Dec. 4.

'Once in a lifetime'

With a full moon lighting the way on a cold and brisk Dec. 4, more than 1,000 people cheered on the Washington Township High School football team during the Parade of Champions.

The school’s marching band and cheerleaders led the way through Washington Lake Park, followed by the Minutemen players and their coaches holding their Group 5 New Jersey Championship trophy as the crowd roared.

"Winning the championship is the most exciting moment in my 24 years as athletic director and also in the history of our school," Kevin Murphy said. "This is an amazing senior class, a special group of young men.

Courtesy of Washington Township "We want to have that transparency, we want that input and we want to get (out) information (coming) directly from us," Mayor Anthony DellaPia said of the township's "Beyond the Welcome Sign" podcast.

Washington Township has started a podcast.

Episode 1 of "Beyond the Welcome Sign" featured Mayor Anthony DellaPia, Council President Peter Del Borrello III and Councilman Joseph Harris.

"This podcast has been something we talked for about a while," DellaPia said. "The reason for the podcast is we want to inform all residents of the things that are going on in town. We want them to know why they are going on, how they are going on.

"We want to have that transparency, we want that input and we want to get (out) information (coming) directly from us."

The three men used a resident survey to find a name for the podcast, garnering 50 responses from all ages, high school to senior citizens.
