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
