8 Phoenix high school football players let go for hazing

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A jury has awarded $9.5 million in damages to two sisters from New Jersey who were seriously injured in a 2009 boat collision that killed one of their friends. Jamie and Gina Franzino of Mahwah were aboard a 15-foot skiff that collided with a 31-foot boat in the Manasquan Inlet. The Record (http://bit.ly/2aCFTVO) reports the driver of the larger boat, Ed McCarthy of McCarthy's Marine Sales, was found liable in a trial in January. An email message left with the company wasn't immediately returned Saturday. Jamie Franzino suffered injuries including a collapsed lung, broken rib, fractured pelvis and concussion. Gina Franzino suffered a broken pelvis and had to have her spleen removed. Another passenger on their boat, 24-year-old Kyle Tanis of Mahwah, suffered a skull fracture and drowned.
