Bridgewater-Raritan (1) continues to dominate, but St. Augustine (2) and Delbarton (3) are hot on their heels. Hillsborough (4) and Chatham (5) are also making waves, with Cherry Hill East (6) and St. Joseph (7) not far behind. Christian Brothers (8) makes a significant move up the rankings, while Pingry (9) and St. Peter’s Prep (10) are still in the mix. Scotch Plains-Fanwood (11) and Westfield (12) are also in the running, with Moorestown (13) and Ridge (14) not far behind. West Windsor-Plainsboro South (15) and Holmdel (16) are steadily climbing, while Haddonfield (17) and Mainland (18) are making their presence known.

But here's where it gets controversial...
