With culture “fully implanted,” Elizabeth looking for breakthrough season in 3rd under Fiore
Montclair already had a championship pedigree before John Fiore arrived, but he certainly put his stamp on the program. Elizabeth also has been a championship program, but the task for Fiore when he arrived was probably a bit deeper than it was further up north.

NJSIAA publishes 2024 football tournament regulations; playoff formula tweaked again, and “consolation” games are out
The NJSIAA posted its 2024 football tournament regulations on its website Wednesday, and they reflect two big changes made to the playoff system back earlier this year. The first has to do with multipliers. In a change that’s in line with what Central Jersey Sports Radio’s Mike Pavlichko has proposed since the multiplier was first introduced almost a decade ago, multipliers will vary from team-to-team in each category, and now are based on Strength Index value rather than a fixed amount. That means the numbers are based more on an actual team’s performance, rather than all teams in one category being equal, regardless of their record.
