SUMMARY: The Gibbs Eagles have had an exceptional start this season, achieving an 8-0 record for the first time in program history. In their latest game against Morristown East, who is currently on a five-game losing streak, Gibbs showcased their skills. Quarterback Warren Axon led the team effectively, both by running the ball and executing a deep pass to Warren Beach, culminating in a touchdown (though it drew an excessive celebration penalty). Although Morristown East managed a single touchdown, Gibbs dominated the game, winning 38-7 and marking their best streak since the late 1980s.

Gibbs won 38-7 against the Hurricanes Friday night.

SUMMARY: This weekend promises beautiful weather with temperatures reaching the low 70s, although it starts off chilly at around 40 degrees. Currently, there’s a significant rainfall deficit, with only traces recorded this October, potentially making it the driest on record. High pressure is maintaining these dry, warm conditions, though a cold front may arrive later next week. The tropics are being monitored, particularly a potential tropical cyclone near Mexico and another system north of Puerto Rico. Temperatures will gradually warm into the mid to upper 70s next week, so enjoy the pleasant outdoor weather!

While high pressure is in control, sunshine will be plentiful through the middle of next week. Conditions will also remain very dry.
