From the MTPS Newsletter and Middletown Township Athletic Department:

In addition to the six-game regular season football schedule permitted under the State of New Jersey’s Return to Play plan for the fall season, the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) has permitted football teams to participate in two post-season games.

These two additional games brings the full season total to eight, which matches the number of games in a traditional regular high school season.

According to District Director of Athletics, RichCarroll, groupings for what is titled the “NJSIAA Post Season” will consist of four teams of similar competitiveness.

The NJSIAA grouping committee will announce matchups for the “NJSIAA Post Season” on Nov. 8th, and games will be played the following two weeks on Nov. 13th and Nov. 20th. That schedule is listed below.

Nov. 13 Group Games

Team A vs Team B

Team C vs Team D

Nov. 20 Group Games

Winner of “Team A and Team B” vs Winner of “Team C and Team D”

Loser of “Team A and Team B” vs Loser of “Team C and Team D”

These additional football games must adhere to the same guidelines provided by the NJSIAA for regular season events, including a maximum capacity of 500 spectators. Please review information related to the distribution of tickets to our football games.
