Football: New Jersey Super 25 rankings after week of big wins

An exciting Week 2 of the high school football season saw Garden State teams dominate New York teams, but brought little change to the New Jersey Super 25 rankings.

North Jersey non-public teams, including five ranked teams that went 5-0, went 9-1 against New York non-public teams last week to maintain their rankings.

The lone newcomer in this week’s rankings is Ridgewood, which moves up from “others receiving votes” after beating defending Group 4 state finalist Ramapo.

This week’s schedule features five games between ranked teams: Holy Spirit at Camden, Cherokee at Mainland, Millville at Washington Township, Paramus Catholic at St. Joseph, and St. Augustine at Winslow.
