You might not recognize the power rankings this week after a busy last week rearranged the teams a whole lot. A special shoutout goes to Peddie's senior Maurice Bellan, who scored five total touchdowns in the team's most recent match.
Can't Touch This
Peddie's 53 - 6 win over Lawrenceville School last week had a lot to do with the leadership of senior Maurice Bellan. Bellan threw for 284 yards and four touchdowns. That performance made Bellan one of the best players in the power rankings last week.

It was a battle of top-notch squads when St. Joseph's Prep (1st in the power rankings) took on Archbishop Wood (7th) last week. The final score between St. Joseph's Prep and Archbishop Wood was a 49 - 14 blowout in St. Joseph's Prep's favor. 49 is shaping up to be St. Joseph's Prep's lucky number as the team posted the same point total in its win over Roman Catholic the game before.
Movin on Up
West Deptford managed to bank 201 more yards than its opponent St. Joseph last week, and going the extra distance paid off. West Deptford put the hurt on St. Joseph with a conclusive 51 - 0 victory. West Deptford found its leader in an underclassman: Aaron Graeber tossed the ball for 96 yards and two TDs, which was enough to make him one of the team's best players. The success catapulted West Deptford 17 spots up the power rankings, enough to make it the biggest riser of the week.
No Stoppin 'Em
Penns Grove not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Cumberland in every quarter. Everything went Penns Grove's way against Cumberland as it secured a 69 - 16 win. Penns Grove especially relied on senior Tyreke Brown, who ran for 61 yards and also punched in two touchdowns, and junior Kavon Lewis, who threw for 157 yards and four touchdowns. At 85 total points, this was the highest scoring power ranking game of the week.
