Football Season Kicks Off For Point Pleasant Boro

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — The waning days of August are usually reserved for last-licks trips to the beach, hanging out with friends and soaking in the last bits of summer.

In 2023, however, summer is ending a little bit earlier for high school football teams, including Point Pleasant Boro.

The season kicks off Friday night, Aug. 25, as the NJSIAA — the governing body for high school sports in New Jersey — made adjustments to the start of the season to accommodate an expanded playoff season. Point Boro's first game is set for Saturday, Aug. 26.

Point Boro, under coach Brian Staub, is looking to build on its 2022 season, where the Panthers finished 10-2 and won the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 4 championship and reached the regional final.

Here is the full regular-season schedule for 2023:

• Aug. 26 vs. Colts Neck, 7 p.m.
• Sept. 2 at Manasquan, 1 p.m.
• Sept. 14 at Red Bank Regional, 6:30 pm
• Sept. 22 vs. Long Branch, 7 p.m.
• Sept. 29 vs. Rumson-Fair Haven, 7 p.m.
• Oct. 6 at Manalapan, 7 p.m.
