Regional Change for Princeton High School Football Team in 2015

Princeton moves from Central Jersey Group IV to North Jersey Section II, Group IV for 2015.

The size of the schools remains the same, but the Princeton High School football team finds itself in a new region heading into the season.
After advancing to the Central Jersey Group IV playoffs last season, Princeton finds itself in North Jersey Section II, Group IV in 2014.

All high schools in New Jersey are classified by size, with the largest schools being placed into Group V, and down to the smallest schools being put into Group I. Teams compete for championships in their respective groups depending on which region they are in.

The NJSIAA tries to have the same number of teams in each region, thus teams can move between regions to maintain an even number of teams.
