Manville completed its first undefeated regular season since 1968 with a 49-7 win at Bound Brook on October 24, 2025, that also clinched the Big Central Freedom Silver Division title. (Photo: Marcus Borden)
The 2025 football season had many twists and turns with two Big Central teams winning Sectional Championships: Phillipsburg defended their North 2, Group 4 title while Bridgewater-Raritan won the North 2, Group 5 Championship.
Old Bridge, Montgomery, New Providence and Summit all advanced to their sectional semi-finals.
A total of 25 teams made the playoffs, with Manville winning its first-ever playoff game, after going undefeated in the regular season.
When I began the BCC Camp Caravan Tour on August 11, my goal was to be sure I saw all 59 teams over the last two years, whether it was at a preseason practice, scrimmage or game. Once again I was able to see those teams I missed last season, which meant attending my first game at Samuel E. Jefferis Athletic Stadium at South Hunterdon High School.
I am also grateful to Joe Bellamy of Bellamy & Sons Paving, Carleigh Stillwagon of Elite Custom Apparel, and Bob Trivosonno of Metro Team Sports for helping me honor 59 players from the BCC as members of the 2025 Borden’s Ballers Football Team.
A BIG THANK YOU TO MIKE PAVLICHKO & THE CREW AT CJSR!
Happy Holidays to all the Coaches, Players, Team Managers and your families!
Now, here are my final overall BCC and county/regional rankings for 2025!
