A Season-Best Performance from Robbie O'connor Leads Millville over Cherokee

Millville's victory was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. O'Connor and Millville will head out to take on St. Augustine Prep at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jalen Parker Goes Supernova in Winslow Township Victory
Jalen Parker was instrumental in extending Winslow Township's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Parker as he threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Parker and Winslow Township will be playing in front of their home fans against Cherokee at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Chiefs, but Parker had little to do with the loss: he threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
