N.J. football preview, 2024: A look at Shore Conference Class A South
The reincarnated Class A South division, an All-Ocean County league except for Howell, will have interesting matchups all season. The division features three teams that either won outright, or shared, league championships last fall – Point Pleasant Boro (co-champion in the Colonial), Jackson Memorial (co-champion in the Freedom) and Brick Memorial (outright winner in the Independence). Donovan Catholic and Toms River North finished second and third in the American Division last fall behind Red Bank Catholic. There are several natural rivalries here. Brick Memorial and Point Boro are separated by Route 70, Toms River North and Donovan Catholic by Route 37 while Jackson Memorial and Howell were Thanksgiving Day rivals for years. Making the division even more interesting is the comings and goings through the offseason. Point Boro and Brick Memorial will be breaking in new quarterbacks. Toms River North’s quarterback, TJ Valerio, was brilliant while starter Micah Ford was injured last season, but the Mariner offense still has to regroup after its two top receivers, top RB and Ford all graduated. Donovan Catholic’s brilliant runner, Najee Calhoun, transferred to Bergen Catholic. Jackson Memorial may have the Shore’s best RB in Jonah Glenn, but the Jags need to be more than a one trick pony on offense in 2024. The question, however, can anyone in the division beat two-time defending Group 5 champion, Toms River North? At least on paper, the answer is no.

Above all, it celebrated the company’s 50 years at Lincoln Center. And the evening reached its climax with a sensational world premiere: Justin Peck’s 42-minute new ballet, “Everywhere We Go,” a work both diffuse and brilliant whose rich supply of configurations, phrases and rhythms often (if not always) suggests that young Mr. Peck can do anything he wants with choreography: a virtuoso of the form.
