These Lions have been on fire this season, outscoring their opponents by a whopping 121 to 56.

Chatham and Their Stealthy Rise
Let’s not forget about Chatham (N.J.), who, although they faced a slight hiccup with one loss to No. 21 Ridgewood (N.J.) by a mere goal, currently stands with a strong 8-1 record. The good news for Chatham fans is that the team is riding a fantastic four-game win streak, recently snatching victories over Glen Ridge (N.J.) and Bergen Catholic (N.J.).

Summit’s Top Spot Remains Secure
Heading to New Jersey, we can’t overlook Summit, who remains at the No. 1 ranking despite facing two losses this season to Delbarton (N.J.) and Seton Hall Prep (N.J.).
