I am doing to do this poll separate from the Catholic school poll because I had several reasons to explain why I ranked teams in the Public Groups 1-2 poll. This one does not need much and the only one I will explain is Long Branch is at number-2 because their only loss is to Red Bank Catholic and I will not penalize a team for losing to a good Catholic school.
