SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Sunday, September 03, 2023
We have been made aware of reports claiming that CNBNews published a story about the alleged passing of DelVal Football Coach Bill Manlove. We want to make it clear that we have not released any article regarding his death or any contradictory information
Occasionally, we may re-publish an article that we believe readers would find interesting. On July 11, 2011, we published an article about Manlove's induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana. On August 14, 2023, we re-published the same article with the headline "Memories of Gloucester City: GHS Football Coach Bill Manlove." We included a notation that the article was originally published in 2011.
Nowhere in the headline or the article did we mention his passing.
We stand by our reporting and find it disappointing that individuals would spread rumors about our reporting without verifying the facts. Like everyone else, we are not infallible and may make mistakes. However, in this case, we did not make any errors. If we make mistakes, we will be the first to admit them.

Mr. Cleary,
It is my understanding that you have been saying that Bill Manlove passed away.
I can assure you that Coach Manlove is not only alive and well, he is still coaching at DelVal.
I would appreciate you correcting this error and setting the record straight with those to whom you have spoken.
It might be a good idea to check your information in the future.
