📰 News we're reading

• Pitman defeats Absegami (nj.com subscription) — Pitman High’s boys basketball team opened its season strong, topping Absegami 52–43 behind 16 points from Oliver Spier and a balanced all‑around effort. The Panthers controlled the game from the first quarter, with key contributions in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals that should excite local fans about this year’s squad.
   

• Controversial $2B N.J. rail project moving forward despite residents saying ‘no' (nj.com subscription) — Pitman is one of several Gloucester County towns formally opposing the $2 billion Glassboro‑Camden light rail line, even as state agencies begin property acquisition and bridge work to move the project forward. Local critics worry about noise, cost, and ridership, while supporters say the line would serve dense communities like Pitman and connect residents to jobs, colleges, and medical centers across the region.
