For the fourth week in a row, Ridge is the No. team in the Big Central Media Poll.
The Red Devils didn’t get any first place votes, but ended up with the most points in the formula. Again, for the fourth straight week, North Brunswick got three first place votes, while St. Thomas Aquinas got the other two.
There were few other changes. Hillsborough and Phillipsburg flip-flopped into fourth and fifth, respectively. Summit climbed from ninth to seventh, Sayreville inched up a spot to No. 9, and St. Joseph-Metuchen entered the poll, as they did in the CJSR Top Ten, at the expense of Watchung Hills, which they beat 26-21 on Friday night.
