The South Jersey Gridiron Gang has released its final pre-playoff “Mean 15” rankings, crowning Washington Township as the new No. 1 team in the region.

This win marks the 23rd consecutive game for Township, a state-best streak that solidifies their dominance heading into the postseason.
Key Match Highlights & Tactical Analysis
Rancocas Valley holds firm at No. 2 after finishing their regular campaign with a perfect 9-0 record, a feat not achieved by the Red Devils since 1966. Their 42-0 demolition of Burlington Township on Saturday was particularly historic, marking the team’s sixth shutout of the season. This performance tied a program record originally set in 1932, showcasing a defensive unit that has been impenetrable all year.
These rankings represent the last official standings before the Gridiron Gang shifts focus to end-of-season content in December. With the regular season concluded, the spotlight now turns to the playoff picture, where Washington Township’s 23-game winning streak and Rancocas Valley’s historic defensive prowess will be the primary narratives to watch.
