Who's up and who's down

One team took the elevator way up and another took it way down in the power rankings this week. Among the action were the efforts of DePaul Catholic's senior Taquan Roberson, an offensive menace who scored five total TDs.

Can't Touch This

St. Joseph got a 34 - 6 win over Millville last week, and a key reason for the win was junior Jada Byers. Byers ran for 288 yards and also punched in five touchdowns. That performance landed Byers among the top power-ranked players for the week.

A

It was a battle of top-notch squads when St. Joseph Regional (4th in NJ) took on Imhotep Charter (6th in PA) last week. St. Joseph Regional got a somewhat close 14 - 8 victory over Imhotep Charter. St. Joseph Regional found its leader in an underclassman: Audric Estime rushed for 62 yards and one touchdown, which was enough to make him one of the team's best players.

Movin on Up

Williamstown claimed most-improved honors this week by climbing the power ranking ladder 18 rungs after its game against Rancocas Valley. Williamstown claimed a 17 - 6 victory over Rancocas Valley. One of the main ringleaders for Williamstown was senior Wade Inge, who earned one touchdown and 138 yards rushing the ball.

Next Week's Big Game

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between St. Peter's Prep (3rd in the power rankings) and Bergen Catholic (1st). St. Peter's Prep will be sulking in after a defeat while Bergen Catholic will strut in boosted by a win. Will Bergen Catholic repeat its success, or will St. Peter's Prep bounce back and dish team a loss? Check back after their contest Friday for the full scoop.
