Football: New Jersey Super 25 rankings shaken up ahead of massive week

A fun Week 3 that featured several big upsets allowed two new teams to join the New Jersey Super 25 rankings.

This week’s slate features five games between ranked teams: Ridgewood at Passaic Tech, DePaul at Paramus Catholic, Mainland at St. Augustine, Winslow at Millville, and Don Bosco at Bergen Catholic.
