Livingston stood at 4–3 overall and 2–2 in league play through mid-season, according to MaxPreps. After opening with losses to Bayonne and West Orange, the Lancers responded with three consecutive victories.
The turnaround began September 10 with a 48–14 win over Columbia. Livingston followed with a 22–12 victory over Montclair on September 18, then traveled to Morristown and earned a 26–17 win September 25.
Following a loss to East Orange Campus, the Lancers returned to the win column October 9, defeating Barringer 43–14. That result gave Livingston three wins in its first four home games.
Head coach Robert Breschard leads the program and has been a great influence on players and the community.

The New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association lists October 24 as the public-school playoff cutoff and October 25 for seeding. First-round games are scheduled for October 30 or 31, with subsequent rounds continuing into November. Could Livingston power into postseason participation? For now, the fall’s victories and on-field moments offer a snapshot of a season still taking shape.
