Williamstown 24 GCIT 6 | West Jersey Football League Semifinal
Piper Przelomiec delivered an outstanding two-way performance to help guide the Braves past the Cheetahs to reach the WJFL championship game. The freshman hauled in a clutch touchdown with one second remaining in the first half and added two interceptions on defense. Milana Riccardi went for over 200 total yards and three total touchdowns, while Celiyah Waters added a pick-six for second-seeded Williamstown (15-1). Lolo Gittinger secured her 30th receiving touchdown of the season for GCIT (15-4), which stunned defending champion Mastery High School of Camden in the quarterfinal.
