Like the Patriot Gold Division, the Big Central Conference’s Patriot Silver is another four-team division of mid-sized schools. AL Johnson, New Providence, Roselle and Metuchen all come back, while defending champion Hillside moved out and up.
The Crusaders out of Clark were 6-3 last year, and should compete again for the division title with a veteran quarterback in Robert Gallagher who started as a junior in 2023. New Providence should also challenge, hoping to flip some close losses last year into victories in 2024.
Roselle will have a new coach in Tyrone Turner, former co-defensive coordinator at Plainfield, replacing Ibrahim Halsey, who left to take over for Joe Goerge at South Brunswick.
Metuchen is the only Middlesex County school in the bunch. The Bulldogs were beset by injuries last year, but still finished 5-5, following a 1-5 start.
