Timber Creek Regional High School Football Team Holds Steady At No. 1

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Timber Creek Regional High School football team maintains its perch atop NJSIAA South Jersey Group 3 after the latest rankings were released Monday morning.

A team earns six points for a win, plus between one and five points, depending on what group the team it defeated is in, and a residual point for each win that team has. A team’s first eight games count toward its final point total, but the lowest point total among these games is dropped, so seven total games count toward the final tally. The top eight teams in each group qualify for the playoffs at the end of the season.

Timber Creek has been No. 1 since the first set of rankings were released two weeks ago. Nothing changed after its 45-7 win over Clearview Friday night, but where are the other Black Horse Pike Regional teams ranked? Below are this week's rankings, as posted on nj.com:
