UNION, NJ — Saturday was July 1. Before you know it, and it gets earlier and earlier now in the Garden State, high school football will be upon us. With the season starting in late August once again, opening day is Saturday, Aug. 25, and official practice is just five weeks away. Although, nod nod wink wink, the first official day of practice can't take place until Aug. 9, according to the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, in reality, teams are practicing already. Nobody is waiting until early August anymore, as schools seek any kind of edge to get a jump on the competition that lies ahead.
