Where Is The Absegami High School Football Team Ranked After Week 3?

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ — Week 3 of the New Jersey High School football season is in the books, and the latest rankings are out.

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.
