The Big Central Conference Liberty Division should be an interesting one this year.
Somerville won the division in 2024, en route to a program record 12 wins and a Central Jersey Group 3 title. But many key guys are gone, and the Pioneers will need the next crop of seniors to step up.
Challenging them will be Rahway, which also lost some key pieces (who doesn’t?) from a team that gave up just 115 points in ten games last season, the second lowest total in the Big Central.
Then there are three teams who all could improve this year. Watchung Hills was 5-5 overall in 2024, but always is a tough out. North Hunterdon – which won a sectional title in 2022, then lost nearly everyone to graduation, and saw their coach step down – went from winless to a 4-5 season in ’24 under second-year head coach Ben Ibach.
And in Montgomery, offensive coordinator-turned-head coach Sean Carty takes the reins from Zoran Milich, who retired in the off-season, and is looking at a bounceback year after a senior-laden 2023 campaign.
