Livingston High School athletic director Rich Porfido has released the following information regarding procedures for student athletes participating in the fall athletic season.

COVID-19 Daily Screening

Home Games and Practices: Each day of practice and/or competition, each team member who is scheduled to be at a game at a home or away site is required to complete the Daily COVID-19 Questionnaire, which is emailed each day to the primary parent/guardian email address listed in Genesis. This is the same procedure that has been followed for practices. The daily temperature check will also be conducted upon arrival at the school.

This process is also required for away games. The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) recommendation is for schools to screen their own teams prior to arriving at the opponents’ site.

Playing at the Meadowbrook Little League complex, Livingston battled with rivals, Nutley American, coming away with a 3-2 victory in the eighth inning.

Nate Vays held the Nutley offense in check for most of the game with strong defensive help from Adam Goldberg, Ridhit Beri, Mack Dockx, Ryan Zhu and the rest of the team. Along withNate, Sean Mullen, Adam Goldberg and Beau Belcuore pitched well, with Beau picking up the win. Nutley’s pitcher was equally up to the task, as scoring was at a premium until the late innings. The game was scoreless into the fifth inning, when Livingston broke it open by scoring two runs.

The six pickle ball courts at Heritage Middle School continue to be a popular recreational site. All six courts are utilized from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and after 4 p.m. on Sundays.
