• No. 18 Immaculate Heart defeats No. 9 Teaneck (nj.com subscription) — Teaneck High’s girls basketball team fell 72–59 to Immaculate Heart in Washington Township, despite a strong 16-point, 10-rebound performance from Lexi Carnegie. Teaneck rallied for 21 points in the fourth quarter but couldn’t erase an early double-digit deficit. Several Teaneck players still posted solid scoring efforts in the early-season matchup.
   

• Give the gift of reading with new releases by Bergen-based authors (northjersey.com) — Several Teaneck authors are highlighted in this Bergen County holiday book roundup, including Jay Levin, Yasmine Beverly Rana, and Lorna J. Hines, whose works span local history, war-shaped drama, and personal healing after George Floyd’s murder. The list offers Teaneck readers gift-ready titles from nearby writers, ranging from children’s adventures and yoga stories to thrillers, memoirs, and spiritually themed reflections.
