1973 and prior, there were no playoff games as we know of today. State Titles were decided by the NJSIAA Championship Committee. It wasn't until 1974 that the playoff format was developed to decide on the field, a true champion. Since the inception of a playoff format, the Woodbridge Football program has had 14 playoff appearances, 4 Finals Appearances and 3 State Championship Titles. They have an overall playoff record of 10 - 11 (.479).
