Jacob Bogage of the Washington Post reports the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association will experiment with video replay during the 2018 season. 

Officials can access replays using Hudl Sideline, an app that syncs live game film across devices such as tablets, to review tape and potentially reverse calls. Many coaches already use the software during games.

State football officials will soon determine the policies to govern the review process, said Jack Dubois, the state’s associate athletic director. The state will search for a handful of schools to debut the program.

“The technology is available, so why not try it?” Dubois said. “This was actually generated from some coaches and officials who said the time is now to try to implement it and prevent some wrong calls.”
