See new No. 1 in Bucks County big-school high school football rankings

Well, we'll keep trying. The last time we did the Bucks County area big-school football rankings two weeks ago, we trumpeted the fact that we had the same No. 1 team, Pennridge, in back-to-back rankings for the first time all season. Now, again, we don't. The Rams lost for the first time last week, 21-14, to surging Central Bucks South . So, does that put the Titans on top of our list? No? It's 9-1 Central Bucks West , who beat the Titans when they played, taking over as our top dog. (Whether the Bucks want this designation after we've had so many No. 1s come and go is another story). Regardless, we head to the postseason with a reshuffled rankings (for teams in Class 4A, 5A and 6A), but it kind of makes it fun (I guess). Our small-school rankings , for teams in Class 3A, 2A and A, will be out next week. Let's go: 1. Central Bucks West (9-1) Since losing to Pennridge 14-7 in the final seconds of their Week Four matchup, the Bucks have outscored their last six opponents (including CB South, CB East and North Penn), 233-68, or an average of 39-11 per game.

Phillipsburg football rocks East Orange to reach fifth straight final

This article was updated with more information. EAST ORANGE – The Phillipsburg High School football team used some razzle and dazzle but mostly stuck to its go-to formula — power running and stout defense — in a 31-13 win over East Orange in the NJSIAA North 2 Group 5 semifinals at Paul Robeson Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 7. The third-seeded Stateliners will host next week’s sectional final Friday night against No. 4-seeded Passaic Tech, which upset top-seeded Elizabeth 35-0 in the other semifinal. Phillipsburg (8-2) seeks its third consecutive title and is playing in its fifth straight sectional final. The Liners got there behind three Shane Moore touchdown runs of 6, 1 and 38 yards as P’burg opened a 21-6 lead at halftime. “Just overall, a great effort for our guys,” Phillipsburg coach Frank Duffy said. “I said run the football, make the quarterback uncomfortable and be great in special teams. Do something special. We did that. That was the recipe for success today.” Old Bridge football forces 5 turnovers, shuts out Williamstown 35-0 Football playoff roundup for Big Central Conference, local Central NJ Duffy said it was important to establish the run game early and to take East Orange
