A few shuffles in Greater Middlesex Conference baseball alignments for 2026; St. Thomas Aquinas moves up to Red Division Unlike basketball's one-year experiment with split divisions - Red American, Red National, for example - and six divisions overall, Greater Middlesex Conference baseball will retain the traditional four-division format for the upcoming 2026 season, but a few teams have moved around. The top-division stays mainly in tact, with South Brunswick - which went 4-20 last season but has brought GMC stalwart Lou Urbano in to take over the program as head coach - moving down to the GMC White, while St.

Mid-Week Girls’ Basketball Update: Several small schools off to good starts, while traditional powers keep things moving along There's not much you can say for the old standbys, and this is when they get particularly challenged. Just barely a week into high school basketball season, Rutgers Prep is 2-0, Gill St. Bernard's is 1-0, and heavy GMC favorite St. Thomas Aquinas is 2-1. They'll all load up plenty more wins as the season goes on, and maybe even a few losses as they fan out to showcases on weekends, bookending their conference slates.

Mid-Week Boys Basketball Update: It’s early, but here are some GMC, Somerset schools getting off on the right foot The season is not even a week old yet, but many teams have already played two or three games, and some are off to better starts than others. Sure, division play hasn't really kicked in yet for some, and the schedule will get more difficult for many, but many teams won their opening games and some are 2-0 already.

South Amboy, No. 9 Spotswood got off to hot starts last season, will open 2025 Saturday morning on Central Jersey Sports Radio A handful of area teams have begun their high school baseball seasons already, but many will open this weekend and next week. That includes Spotswood and South Amboy, for whom a beautiful Saturday will be the setting for their Opening Day, 11 am at the place Chargers' fans affectionately call "The Swamp." It will always be known as such, but it may not live up to that name as much anymore, now that their natural grass surface has been replaced with turf, thanks to a Fall 2023 referendum approved by voters.
