To be able to enter the varsity game as a freshman and make an immediate impact takes some skill.

These players from Ocean County have done exactly that.

According to news reports there are 56 freshman who played hard this season and made an impact on their team. These kids are doing everything necessary to prove themselves worthy of playing at the varsity level.

Here are some of the freshmen who have stolen the show this season:
