Central-P'Burg, Immaculata, Montgomery and...

Week six.

As last week was light because of the SAT testing, this week is pretty heavy with some good games.

Up first will be Immaculata (5-0) at Montgomery (4-0). Big game for the Cougars, but it's not a make or break game for them. They are headed for the Central Jersey Group IV playoffs. Immaculata is bound once again for the non-public State Group III playoffs.

The Spartans have won 17 straight.

An interesting matchup for sure. Montgomery quarterback Kevin Watson has been as good as advertised; tight end Chris Garcia is having another solid season and sophomnore J.T. Tartacoff is playing the way head coach Zoran Milich envisioned.

But for all of that -- the game will be won up front. Immaculata has the advantage there with the likes of Jim Fisher and defensive back Mike Kuhn. More in the game of the week story Friday.

Hunterdon Central (5-0) plays at Phillipsburg (3-2) in another critical game. Phillipsburg is trying to claw itself back into the North 2, Group IV race. A win over Central might just be enough to put them in. Central is hoping -- it better -- play better than in did in last week's 12-0 over Bridgewater-Raritan.

"We aren't as focused as we need to be," Hunterdon Central coach Matt Perotti said. "We had a couple of penalties that really hurt us. We had two personal fouls. We had a pass interference call that kept a drive alive. We had seven penalties, which is a lot for us."

More later
