Woodbridge remains the No. 1 team in the Central Jersey Sports Radio High School Football rankings, while there was a small shakeup in the middle, and two previously-ranked teams return to the top ten after Week Six.
Woodbridge (7-0) remained undefeated with a 28-7 home win over Montgomery Friday night. The Barrons are back in action Saturday when they travel to Union County to take on Summit (4-2). The Hilltoppers have lost two straight since starting 4-0.
Somerville (7-0) holds in second after blitzing North Hunterdon at home Thursday night, 56-7. That touchdown by the Lions was the only score the Pioneers have allowed in the last three games. Nest up is a Friday night trip to Hub Stine Field to take on Plainfield (4-2).
Edging up a spot to No. 2 is Somerville (6-0). The Pioneers handed Summit its first loss of the season, rolling up 41 points and kickstarting the running clock before halftime in a 41-0 win at Brooks Field Friday night. The ‘Ville is home Thursday night against North Hunterdon (2-4), which has won two of its last three after starting 0-3 on the season.
St. Thomas Aquinas (5-2) remains in third after a blowout win over Edison at home, 57-7, Friday night. The Trojans will face off against No. 7 St. Joseph of Metuchen this Saturday morning at 11 am, in a game you can hear live on Central Jersey Sports Radio.
Bernards (7-0) holds steady in fourth after a come-from-behind win over Summit, 29-22, as heard Thursday evening on Central Jersey Sports Radio. The Mountaineers will make the short trip along Route 78 to Governor Livingston (3-4) Saturday afternoon. The Highlanders will be coming in hot after a 50-46 shootout win this weekend over Voorhees.
Ridge (5-1) rises one place to No. 5 this week after a 41-13 American Silver division win over Hunterdon Central in a battle of the Red Devils. They will travel to North Brunswick (1-6) this Friday night.
Phillipsburg (5-1) climbs from seventh to sixth after a thoroughly dominating 49-14 win Friday night at Maloney Stadium over St. Joseph-Metuchen (5-1), which drops from five to No. 7. The Stateliners visit Union (1-6) Friday night, while the Falcons host St. Thomas Aquinas at 11 am on Central Jersey Sports Radio.
No change this week for Piscataway (5-2), which holds steady at No. 8 after a 55-0 road blowout of East Brunswick. The Chiefs will entertain No. 10 Hillsborough (4-3) Friday night.
The last two spots go to teams making their return to the rankings this season.
Rahway (5-2) is back in at No. 9 after a 14-10 win at Watchung Hills Saturday night. The Indians host winless New Brunswick at home Friday night.
The final spot goes to Hillsborough (4-3), which won back-to-back games for the first time Thursday night, when the Raiders won at Bridgewater-Raritan, 34-24. Hillsborough travels to No. 8 Piscataway Friday night for an early 6 pm kickoff.
Dropping out this week were No. 9 Watchung Hills – which fell to Rahway Saturday night – and No. 10 Johnson, which lost its first game of the year Friday night, 42-34 to Delaware Valley.
Watchung Hills was still considered, as was Plainfield (4-2).
