SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – The 2025 New Jersey High School Football Season is here.  The first Week 0 games are about to kick off.  Big Central Gridiron plans to cover only one or two games this week.  Most notably, the BCC Crossover contest on Saturday between Metuchen and Delaware Valley at the Dog Pound in Metuchen.
