Meadowlands Division
Divisional breakdown : Butler proved to be a cut above the rest in the NJIC last fall with its first-ever conference title. The Bulldogs went 5-0 in division play with a 213-27 margin of victory. The 2024 campaign marked the first of this division alignment. Hasbrouck Heights looked the part under then-first-year head coach Eddie Suri as did New Milford under Bill Straub, who was in Year 1 with the Knights. Hawthorne’s Angelo Guarnieri and Secaucus’ Tom Curry Jr. were also first-year head coaches for their respective schools. That’s the role for Saddle Brook’s Joe Cutrona this year, but he brings experience and success from Wood-Ridge.
