Standings and County Leaders released for football and field hockey.
Pope John keeps the top spot.
Not much changes at the top.
Kittatinny makes a big jump and Vernon finally falls.
1. Pope John (3-0) Found a way to battle through adversity of a costly missed extra point to pull off an enormous road victory.
2. Lenape Valley (3-0) Tested for the first time the Patriots escaped Hackettstown with a win. It wasn’t pretty, but still a win.
3. Sparta (2-1) The Spartans are right on the heels of the Patriots. They could hop Lenape Valley with a win and a shaky Patriot performance against Wallkill Valley.
4. Wallkill Valley (1-2) Friday night will be an enormous measuring stick game for the Rangers.
5. Kittatinny (1-2) The Cougars showed signs of life as they ran the ball down Newton’s throat.
6. High Point (1-2) High Point needs to respond after a heartbreaking loss to Mendham (1-2).
7. Vernon (0-3) Had to drop to the Vikings a couple slots after another blowout. Despite a horrific score differential I don’t believe they’re the worst team in the county.
8. Hopatcong (1-2) The defense has impressed. The offense is another story.
9. Newton (0-3) It hasn’t been pretty. Despite a potentially formidable offense the Braves haven’t been able to stop anyone.
