Week 5 South Jersey: Games to Watch

It’s Week 5 and we’re at the midway point of the season. It is starting to feel like playoff atmosphere with the temperature getting cooler and tough competition every week. With that being said, let’s scroll through below to take a look at the best games to keep an eye on in South Jersey. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>No. 4 St. Augustine (3-1) vs No.7 Millville (3-0)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday at 6pm</em> This matchup is the most highly anticipated game of the year. Both teams have a host of electrifying playmakers that will play at the collegiate level. Also, both teams are coming off a 3 game winning streak and building off momentum. St. Augustine is coming off an impressive 24-7 win over St. Joseph (Hamm.). On the other hand, Millville were forced to take a week off due to Covid. The last time these two teams met was last year, where Millville won in a close battle 22-21. St. Augustine will look to give Millville their first loss and hopefully redeem themselves from their disappointing loss. Expect this game to have great atmosphere and passion from both ends. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Washington Township (3-0) at Cherokee (1-1)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday at 6pm</em> This is a big division matchup in the West Jersey Football League (WJFL) conference. Cherokee is fresh off a bye who are well rested for this game. Cherokee will look to rebound from their most recent loss to St. Joseph (Hamm.) last week. Also, Cherokee cannot afford to lose another conference game. You should expect them to correct their mistakes and look to play technically sound football Friday. Washington Township is another big test for Cherokee who are off to their best start since 2009. They are led by Sophomore Quarterback <em>Ryan Bender (Washington Twp) and Senior Runningback Jo’Nathan Silver( Washington Twp) </em>who has produced big numbers for their team. Silver has rushed for over 100 yards in 3 consecutive games. Expect Cherokee to play with a sense of urgency and look to pull out the upset. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Winslow (3-1) at Camden (2-2)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday ay 7pm</em> Winslow Eagles are off to great start to their season. They pounced over Timber Creek last week 44-7, led by Senior Quarterback <em>Hamas Duren (Winslow) </em>who threw for 228 yards and four touchdowns last week. Winslow has proven they have a dangerous passing attack as well as their ability to defend. Senior linebacker <em>Emeril Mitchell (Winslow) </em>is a great defender making it difficult for the opposing team to score points. Camden is a solid team who oftentimes beat themselves out of games who recently blew out Buena last week 48-0. This matchup will be about who makes the fewest mistakes. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Woodrow Wilson (2-1) at Cedar Creek (4-0)</strong></span> <em>When: Saturday at noon</em> This is a huge game in South Jersey. Both teams have high powering offenses with very explosive athletes. Cedar Creek are of one of the few teams in the state who has yet to be scored on. This will be their biggest test so far this season who has a dangerous passing attack. Woodrow Wilson is led by Senior Quarterback <em>[player_tooltip player_id="27973" first="Devin" last="Kargman"] (Woodrow Wilson) </em>who is pro-style quarterback who is poise and precise. He finished with 394 yards passing and five touchdowns. Cedar Creek will need to make Kargman uncomfortable if they want a shot at winning this game. On the other hand, [player_tooltip player_id="27993" first="JoJo" last="Bermudez"] is Cedar Creek’s top performer who is making plays everywhere on the field. This game should be very interesting to watch.
