Friday will mark the 82nd meeting between Bergen Catholic and Don Bosco Prep with this clash being another NJ.com No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup.
N.J. high school football is in its best form when these two titans butt heads, but there’s lots more to look forward to than just Friday’s game in Ramsey on the Week 4 statewide schedule.
There are top tilts all over the Big Central on Friday, including state-ranked Phillipsburg at Hillsborough, Holmdel visits Red Bank Catholic in a battle for Shore Conference supremacy, and Camden vs. Rancocas Valley headlines a fun WJFL outlook.
What else does this week’s slate entail? Below, find the complete Week 4 N.J. football schedule.
