...and while boys and girls basketball and baseball and softball will return, it's also too late to bring back freshmen football and soccer.

Christian Frazilus, a freshman at Colonia High School, catches his breath after running during football practice recently. With their funding slashed by the state budget, many Jersey high schools have cut their freshman teams, forcing younger kids to play up on jayvee or varsity. By Monday night, thousands of freshman football players across the state may have felt the pain of school budget cuts for the first time. In a truly physical sense as in “ughhh,” “crunch,” “swack” or “SAVE ME!” Formal practices begin with real hitting permitted on the field, but in as many as 124 schools where freshman football and other sports have been dropped for the sake of the school budget, the little guys will have to practice with the big guys.

Max Issaka, a rising senior defensive end from Woodbridge High School, held the University of Pittsburgh and Rutgers University football programs in equal esteem. The deciding factor in making a nonbinding commitment to play for the Panthers, who are picked to win the 2010 league championship in a Big East media poll, was that Issaka simply wanted to be farther from home.

HNT Football - End of Year Notebook - Monroe will move to GMC Red Division
By GREG TUFARO • STAFF WRITER • January 1, 2010 (Reprinted from: December 13, 2009)
NJSIAA Central Group III champion Monroe will join J.P. Stevens and Edison as the newest members of the Greater Middlesex Conference Red Division following a realignment of the league's teams.
The GMC scrapped its four-division alignment in favor of a three-division format, which will help reduce the number of crossover games GMC schools will play in a proposed home-at-home series with Shore Conference foes over the next two years.
The GMC and Shore Conference are expected to cement their new two-year agreement on Dec. 21.
The pending deal comes after what many consider a highly successful pilot program between the two leagues in which the Shore Conference compiled a 38-20 record (.655 winning percentage) against the GMC.
The GMC exacted some measure of revenge, winning two of three sectional finals against Shore Conference schools.
The revamped GMC will look as follows:
Red Division (nine teams): Piscataway, Old Bridge, East Brunswick, Sayreville, South Brunswick, Woodbridge, J.P. Stevens, Edison and Monroe.
White Division (eight teams): Bishop Ahr, Colonia, South Plainfield, Carteret, J.F. Kennedy, New Brunswick, North Brunswick and Perth Amboy.
Blue Division (seven teams): Cardinal McCarrick, South River, Highland Park, Metuchen, Dunellen, Spotswood and Middlesex.
Excluding schools who have traditional Thanksgiving Day rivalries outside of their division, such as Woodbridge vs. Colonia or Piscataway vs. Franklin, the proposed crossover plan is as follows: Red Division teams will be asked to play one Shore Conference foe, White Division teams each will be asked to play two Shore Conference games and Blue Division squads will be asked to play three Shore Conference games pieces.
"I think it's a work in progress," said Bishop Ahr Athletics Director Mike Wolfthal, who chairs the GMC's football committee. "I think we are getting to where we need to be and, hopefully, we will satisfy all of our coaches."
