Yeah!!! Let’s hear it for the home team. Take that, Bergen County!
Glen Ridge winning a football championship? Maybe when these kids grow up GR will have a winning high school team
jimmy…you even have to be nasty to kids…that takes a really small person…shame on you!
Go Glen Ridge! Celebrate your win, boys! Be proud!
I didn’t think jimmytown’s comment was nasty. I thought it was pretty supportive, actually.
jimmy, Glen Ridge High School had a winning record this year. And last year.
Uninformed, perhaps.
walleroo,
ok…I’ll split the difference with you…
“Glen Ridge winning a football championship?” – unnecessary and unkind sarcasm.
“Maybe when these kids grow up GR will have a winning high school team” – supportive for the most part..just a touch of a dig…
I think this is a good thing. When I played football for Glen Ridge we didnt have a pee wee team. We had to play for montclair cobras to develop the skills needed to win championships. All in all the team sucked. starting these kids at an early age will set them up for the future
how old are peewee’s Do they go by age or grade?
They go by shoe size. Any age, as long as you can fit into a size 8. See that guy in the pic with the mustache? Small feet.
It’s by grade….PeeWee’s are 3/4 grade, Juniors are 5/6 and Seniors are 7/8. Unfortunately GR doesn’t have Junior HS football so they keep playing for GRAA until they can play Freshman Football.
Way to go guys!
How did GR wind up in the Bergen County Junior Football League?
Anyway, congrats Ridgers.

no. in football, size does matter….age also matters when the kids are in lower grades.
