A New Era of Sports Memory
In June, Gridiron New Jersey abruptly shut down, taking with it a trove of historical sports statistics that stretched back to the early 2000s. The loss left a void for fans and researchers who relied on that data for everything from season recaps to playoff analyses.
Central Jersey Sports Radio, a longtime staple of regional athletics coverage, has responded by launching an expanded ‘History’ section on its website. The new archive is designed not only to fill the gaps left by the defunct site but also to broaden the scope of coverage to include basketball and baseball alongside the long‑standing football focus.
Football enthusiasts will find a comprehensive collection of playoff brackets dating from 1974 through 2026, as well as an updated Big Central Conference record book that tracks individual and team achievements across decades.
The basketball portion of the archive adds detailed records for the Greater Middlesex Conference and the Somerset County Tournament, encompassing both boys’ and girls’ competitions. Final game results and a ‘By the Numbers’ statistical breakdown are also included, giving readers a quick reference to key performances.
Baseball fans are not left out; dedicated pages now cover the GMC and Somerset County Tournament, preserving tournament results and historic milestones. These additions are part of a broader effort to document every major high school championship in the region.
Compiling this material has proven to be a meticulous and labor‑intensive process. Discrepancies and missing statistics, especially in football, require ongoing research and verification. Central Jersey Sports Radio is actively correcting errors and omissions, and it encourages readers to email mike@cjsportsradio.com with any corrections, typos or additional information.
