Public Groups 3-4-5
October 8, 2024
There is a switch at the top two spots. I considered this last week but stayed put. However, Winslow has had two impressive wins in the past two weeks. This is not a slight on Toms River North – I have had them #1 the previous two years and this does not mean they will not be #1 at year’s end. For now, I am going with Winslow. Also, I do not penalize public school teams for losing to a Catholic school.
