BCG Top Ten – Final 2025

St. Joseph’s, Phillipsburg, and Bridgewater-Raritan are the top three teams ranked in the final BCG Top 10 of 2025.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – The 2025 New Jersey High School football season has concluded, and the final rankings are in. Despite losing its final two games of the season to the likes of highly-touted non-public foes, Donovan Catholic and Bergen Catholic, the St. Joseph’s Falcons claim the top spot in BCG’s final Top Ten.

The Falcons finished undefeated in Big Central Conference, won the BCC’s American Gold Division, and dominated 2nd-ranked Phillipsburg in a head-to-head showdown at Brenner Family Field in Metuchen on October 11th. The Stateliners went on to win the always highly competitive BCC American Silver and its second straight sectional title.

Thanks to a tremendous playoff run that culminated with a North Jersey Section 2 Group 5 sectional crown, Bridgewater-Raritan finished third in the final poll, while Central Jersey Group 5 finalist, Old Bridge ended up fourth, and Montgomery finished fifth after a turnaround season.
