Cranford High School and Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School were supposed to play games that had been rescheduled from last Friday and Saturday after Newark superintendent Clifford Janey suspended all athletic events while police were hunting for suspects.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood athletic director Robert Harmer told the Star-Ledger that the decision not to come to Newark reflected concerns by parents and administrators.
"The bottom line is the welfare of our kids," Harmer told the newspaper. "They pulled the plug on this on Friday, and right now, 72 hours after all this has taken place, we just felt we should let the smoke settle."
Newark's Central High School made up the game against Cranford at a neutral site Monday.
