Media Day is the moment a season stops being a schedule on paper and starts being real. On July 29, Zarcone Photography was on-site at Bridgewater-Raritan as the official media partner of Panther Football, photographing the full roster ahead of a season that opens against Woodbridge on August 27.
What Was Captured
Every player on the 2026 roster came through for individual and team portraits — the images that end up on banners, in the program, in the weight room, and increasingly, in recruiting profiles. Coming off a program-defining 2025 season — Bridgewater-Raritan's first sectional championship in school history — this year's portraits carry a little extra weight.
Where to Find the Photos
Media Day portraits are live now — the full roster, individual and team shots. Two ways to see them:
- Check the Panther Football hub page directly — click any jersey number on the roster to see that player's portrait, no account needed.
- For full-resolution downloads and print ordering, head to the 2026 Media Day Gallery. Not sure what to actually do with the file once you have it? Here's a quick guide — recruiting profiles, Senior Night boards, social, and prints.

The Season Ahead
Media Day is just the opening move. Regular season home games, Senior Night, and — if the Panthers make another run — the postseason are all covered under the season-long partnership. Game galleries go up within days of the final whistle, edited and ready for download, sharing, and print ordering.
First kickoff: August 27 vs. Woodbridge. See you there.
