Sayreville (NJ) high school football defensive coordinator Charles Garcial was busted for steroids, testosterone, and possession of syringes. The South Plainfield resident and former South Plainfield High School standout was pulled over last Friday by Bridgewater police after allegedly being seen at a known drug hotel.
According to a statement posted on the Sayreville Public Schools website and its Facebook page, the game was postponed because of "serious unforeseen circumstances" that Sayreville Board of Education President Kevin Ciak said was "not a matter of public safety."
"The board will be discussing on Tuesday night the status of Mr. Garcia's future employment with the district," Ciak said. "Tonight's cancellation (of Thursday night's highly anticipated game against second-ranked South Brunswick) has nothing to do with any of our personnel, to the best of our knowledge."
Asked why the game was postponed, Ciak said, "I can't comment on specific circumstances, unfortunately. It's something we need to look into. As soon as we can get some information out there, we'll give it out."
Michael Cherenson, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, said it was notified that the game has been postponed and "at this moment in time, no future NJSIAA action is planned."
