South Jersey Football Games of the Week
Besides the Williamstown at Shawnee game which we previously previewed, here are some of the other South Jersey football games of the week:
Northern Burlington (4-2, 3-0 WJFL Patriot) at Delran (5-1, 3-1), Friday, 7 pm. Both teams can clinch at least a share of the Patriot Division with a win. This is the final Patriot game for Delran, while NBC has to play Bishop Eustace (1-5) next week. Delran had a bye week after a 39-14 win over Ewing. The bye came at a good time for the Bears, whose leading player, receiver-safety RJ Moten has been a little banged up this year but is rounding into form. Delran senior Eren Ibas has rushed for 557 yards (6.0 avg.) and five touchdowns. The Bears have won five in a row since an opening 21-10 loss to Cinnaminson. NBC, which earlier beat Cinnaminson, 28-7, is coming off a 39-7 win over Hightstown.
Woodrow Wilson (5-1, 2-1 WJFL Constitution) at Willingboro (6-1, 2-1), Friday, 7 pm. This is a matchup of defending sectional champions, Willingboro in Central Jersey Group 1 and Wilson in SJ Group 3. Willingboro has won six in a row since an opening 24-20 division loss to Cedar Creek. Wilson’s only loss has also come against Cedar Creek, 29-28. Willingboro has won its last four games by 43 or more points. Chris Long, a Temple commit, is among the top receivers in South Jersey. Wilson has two Temple commits, running back-linebacker Muheem McCargo and defensive lineman Dyshier Clary. Wilson sophomore quarterback Devin Kargman has already thrown for nearly 2,000 yards and 24 TDs. This has the potential to be a high scoring game.
Haddon Township (4-2, 3-0 WJFL Classic Division) at Clayton (4-2, 2-1), Friday, 6 pm. These two are battling for the Classic Division along with Robbinsville, which is 3-0. Haddon Township won a share of the division title last year with Maple Shade. The Hawks, who had a bye last week, have won four in a row. Haddon Township has just four seniors on the roster but all four are major contributors – receiver-defensive back Ty Fullerton, receiver-running back-defensive back-kicker Dom Ciko, running back-defensive back Shawn Donlon and running back-linebacker Gavin Hope. Clayton’s one division loss came to Robbinsville, 16-0. Sophomore running back Justin Pessoa has rushed for 652 yards (6.9 avg.) and seven touchdowns.

Timber Creek would clinch at least a tie for the championship with a victory. Timber Creek will rely heavily on sophomore quarterback Donavan Leary, who has completed 60.4 percent of his passes for 1,797 yards and 17 TDs.
