Washington Township (5-2, 3-0 WJFL Classic) at Kingsway (6-1, 3-0) Friday, 6 p.m.
The winner of this game will clinch at least a tie for the Classic Division title. Both of these teams are contenders in Group 5 in addition to battling for the division. Both teams are coming off opposite results. Township is looking to rebound from last week’s 27-0 loss to Rancocas Valley, while Kingsway was a 62-0 winner over its former Thanksgiving rival Clearview. The Dragons have won five in a row since a 30-0 loss to South Jersey Top 10 team Camden. A year ago Washington Township beat Kingsway, 52-23. This one could again be a high scoring affair.

Winslow Township (7-0, 2-0 WJFL American) at Mainland (5-2, 1-2), Friday, 6 p.m.
Last year Mainland beat Winslow Township, 40-7 in the state Group 4 semifinal, enroute to winning the state championship. This year it is Winslow Township who will be the heavy favorite. That’s because one of Mainland’s losses this year was a 40-7 defeat to Millville. Winslow Township beat Millville, 35-7. Winslow Township’s closest game this season was a 21-7 win over St. Augustine. If Winslow Township beats Mainland, the Eagles would clinch at least a tie for the American Division title. This year the Eagles will be the team to beat in Group 4.

Paulsboro (5-2, 4-1 WJFL Patriot) at West Deptford (4-3, 3-1), Friday, 7 p.m.

Senior Reggie Allen Jr. has rushed for 487 yards (6.7 avg.) and five touchdowns. Glassboro is coming off a 40-10 win over Cinnaminson and Kristopher Foster threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns.
