by Marc Narducci | Nov 4, 2022

While the playoffs are going on, the regular season means 15 different division champions crowned in the West Jersey Football League among teams from the seven-county South Jersey area.

Here is a look at the divisional champions. The WJFL determined champions by the record and doesn’t use a head-to-head tiebreaker.

WJFL American: Millville won the championship with a 4-1 record. The Thunderbolts lone loss was 21-17 to Lenape, which finished in a three-way tie for second with Cherokee and St. Augustine, all with a 3-2 mark.

WJFL Classic: Florence and Cherry Hill East finished tied for the division with 4-1 records. Florence lost its second game of the season to East, 33-14 but the Cougars lost 41-8 to Palmyra.

WJFL Colonial: Deptford and Gloucester City tied for the title with 3-1 marks. Gloucester’s division loss was a 29-23 defeat to Audubon. Deptford lost at Gloucester, 7-3.

WJFL Constitution: Camden was the champ with a 5-0 record. The Panthers were challenged in just one game, a 7-3 victory over Haddonfield. Currently in second is Haddonfield with a 3-1 mark and the Bulldogs need to beat Haddon (2-2) on Thanksgiving to clinch the outright second-place spot. A Haddon Heights win would clinch both the Garnets and West Deptford a share of second place with Haddonfield.

WJFL Continental: Holy Spirit clinched the title with a 4-0 record while Kingsway finished second at 3-1. The difference was Holy Spirit’s 31-27 win at Kingsway.

WJFL Diamond: Woodstown and Woodbury tied for the title with 3-1 marks in what is one of the top small-school divisions in the state. Woodbury won the head-to-head matchup with a 28-6 win, but the Thundering Herd suffered their lone division loss to Salem, 21-20.

WJFL Freedom: Maple Shade and Cinnaminson tied for the title with 4-1 records. In the head-to-head matchup, Maple Shade beat Cinnaminson, 14-0. The Wildcats suffered their lone division loss to Bordentown, 8-6.

WJFL Horizon: Schalick went 5-0 to win the Division. Gloucester Catholic was second at 4-1. The difference was a 33-26 win by Schalick over the second-place Rams.

WJFL Independence: Delsea was the winner with a 4-0 record. Second place will be decided when St. Joseph visits Winslow Township on Nov. 23. Both teams are 2-1.

WJFL Liberty Pennsauken beat Camden Eastside, 34-6. Camden Eastside went 3-1. Pennsauken’s toughest division game was a 31-28 victory over Willingboro.
