The start of the 2021 high school football season is right around the corner.
Teams throughout the state have started practicing, with the first regular-season games scheduled for the end of August. Players and coaches are eager to see an offseason of hard work and preparation come to fruition.
The 2020 season had its ups and downs. Some teams were able to play a full slate of games, while others were limited as COVID issues seemed to come up on an almost daily basis. There were even a few teams shut down completely, and there were no state playoffs.
This fall, there will be big games every weekend. The state playoffs are back and we’ll also see the return of regional championships.
The NJ.com high school football staff has started its preparations for the 2021 season, too. As part of our preview package, take a look below at how each of the state’s five football-playing conferences will be aligned this year.
