Talked to interim Franklin High School Athletic Director Bob Grace the other day. He told me that Franklin has written to the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association asking for consideration to host the Region 5 tournament.
Hunterdon Central has hosted the three-day tournament for years, but there seems to be complaints for various reasons about the site. A lot has to do with schools like Old Bridge and Sayreville and South Brunswick having to travel so far.
Franklin would be a good compromise.
The region site was rotated between Piscataway and Hunterdon Central in the 1980s. Franklin has a sparkling, spacious new gymnasium. The state should seriously consider it. Why not? Change is good and Franklin WANTS it.
Covered Governor Livingston and Rahway this morning in Berkeley Heights. Governor Livingston is a team of the future. Thirteen of the Highlander's 14 weights are taken by underclassmen -- including six freshmen.
GL pounded out a 45-30 win. It will be interesting to see how GL does Monday night in a North 2 Group II quarterfinal at Hackettstown.
