imaGoodBoyNow Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Declaring that no school can quit a conference when it does not like the schedule provided, the NJSIAA’s Leagues and Conferences Committee ruled Friday that Delbarton is a member of the North Jersey Super Football Conference. The written decision came 10 days after a hearing at the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association headquarters in Robbinsville, where the Morris County school challenged its inclusion in the newly formed football-only league. It argued its educational philosophies do not match those of other non-public schools in the NJSFC. Delbarton had created its own schedule independent of the conference, and without league-mandated opponents Don Bosco and St. Joseph – two North Jersey powerhouses it didn’t want to play. Delbarton released a statement through a spokesperson shortly after the decision was announced. “We are disappointed with the decision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association and are considering our next steps to ensure our students have an opportunity to test their skills and athleticism on a playing field that values healthy competition,” the statement read. “In other words, its goal of not having to play all of the power programs has been realized,” read the decision signed by subcommittee chair Elaine McGrath, the South Brunswick athletic director. The conclusion also pointed out that the school expressed a desire to play competition closer to its campus, yet the independent schedule it compiled included teams from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Long Island and Brooklyn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be unfair for us to play Joes and bosco. We are simply too good. Our independent schedule included 10 NFL teams. It’s sad the New Jersey state interscholastic athletic association didn’t want to see us chase greatness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delby forfeited games against us in football because of different school philosophies, but were good in baseball and lacrosse so it was fine to play and beat us in those sports, but when it came to football, There school virtues matter im sorry I will never have respect for that school, , It’s the Servite of the east coast 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one cervix high school. No school can compare to their mediocrity and worthlessness. I would send my kid to a public school in Louisiana before sending them to third place high. Delby’s standards are just too high 🏆 If I ever move to Jerz my family will be 100% GREEN WAVE. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time listener, first time caller; Check your gridironnewjersey.com, broski! We didn't forfeit the games -- we played them after disputing the ruling. We were actually leading SJR at the half in the first Super Conference year of 2016, if I remember correctly. Most folks in the football program are aware it was a bad look though. The staff was totally blindsided, read about the whole thing in the paper, it wasn't well communicated. The biggest thing for the admins was that the school was being forced into a non-pub conference and they were worried it would lead to public schools segregating the conferences in all other sports. The fear was that this could be the first domino in a bunch of other ramifications like more expensive travel schedule, privates being excluded from the NJSIAA, similar to how the situation is for privates in the MIAA and WCAC in Maryland and Virginia. If you remember, the school's headmaster even wrote a letter in 2015 to the NJ Commissioner of Education against a proposal that would have put all private football programs in the state in a single conference, which would have really benefited our program at the time. He did that because of the precedent it would set for segregating non-publics from publics in NJ high school athletics. And again, it was terribly messaged, but I don't think it's all that controversial to suggest that Delbarton and SJR have different educational missions -- not that one or another is superior, but that there are different priorities. There was also a fear from some admins that what it would take to compete on a weekly basis in football would require a compromise in academics, or unsustainable amounts of financial aid, or a change in the culture of the school, violating NJSIAA rules, etc. I am happy to report those admins were wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delby looked great vs DBP last season. Was very disappointed when the highly-anticpated game vs BC was called minutes before kick-off. Hope you and yours can continue your upward trajectory in football. Delby lax was 6-6 this season last I saw. Hockey has been ailing too. #parity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cancellation was nuts (a parent received a positive test during warm-ups), but there's still pretty good momentum for the program going into next year. And yeah the pandemic has been a huge leveler across all sports. Our Lax and Baseball teams really seem to have suffered from the lack of a high school season last year, especially early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin's kid was an All-American soccer player there. Just graduated. Headed to Syracuse this Fall. My son played seven years for Coach Ruebling's Patriot Lacrosse summer club team.
