BCG’s Somerset County Top 10 – Pre-Season 2024

BCG’s Somerset County Top 10 - Pre-Season 2023
With a talented group of seniors that went undefeated as freshmen several seasons ago, Hillsborough is looking to return to the top of the Somerset County heap in 2024.

Talented Raiders Have High Aspirations for 2024 season

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – The Hillsborough Raiders went through the 2021 season with an undefeated 13-0 record, a BCC Division 5B title, a CJ Group 5 crown, and a South Jersey Group 5 Regional Championship. At the same time, the Raiders had a talented group of freshmen that went undefeated.

Now those freshmen are seniors at Hillsborough and are looking to achieve the glory of that 2021 season with an additional step, a state championship. However, the Raiders will need to go through Ridge and a Somerville squad that has a lot of firepower back this year including QB
Brenden Pahcheco, RB Terrell Mitchell, and WR Brady Scheier among others.

Bernards lost a great deal from last year’s sectional championship team. However, the Mountaineers have built up a solid program that should help them maintain their level of recent excellence into 2024. Last season’s records are in parentheses.

  1. Hillsborough (8-3) 
  2. Ridge (8-2)
  3. Immaculata (7-4)
  4. Somerville (5-5)
  5. Bernards (12-1)
  6. Watchung Hills (8-3)
  7. Bridgewater-Raritan (3-7)
  8. Montgomery (8-1-1)
  9. Franklin (3-8)
  10. Pingry (6-2)

Other Teams Considered:  North Plainfield (1-10), Bound Brook (2-7), and Manville (3-7).
