Public Groups 1-2  

Camden and Haddonfield have moved way down and others have begun an upward climb. My new entrant, Rutherford, has done so by their quality wins. Keep in mind, I generally do not penalize a team for losing …

Public Groups 3-4-5 

The shake ups are East Orange and West Orange moving in opposite directions, along with Cherokee and Washington Township. In fact, Washington Township is a new entrant to the Top 25 and I may have underrated them. …

Last year’s #1 team in Public Groups 3/4/5, Wall is now 0-2, losing to Rumson-Fair Haven and Red Bank Catholic. They could easily be the best 0-2 team in the state. Phillipsburg can also make a case, losing in a …
