All year long, and even before this year, Phillipsburg's motto has been D.I.G. That's Discipline, Ignore The Noise, and Grit. They have lived that to the letter all year long, and despite a pair of losses to two very good teams - Ridge back in late September and Easton on Thanksgiving - it has gotten them where they are today. Or, more accurately, where they'll be Wednesday night.

Though it was a memorable season in so many respects, Phillipsburg's first trip to the state finals - and the Big Central Conference's first team to make it there - didn't go nearly according to plan. Two first-half Stateliner interceptions led indirectly to Winslow Twp. touchdowns, as the Eagles built up a 28-0 lead after the first 24 minutes, and topped the Stateliners 35-0 in the NJSIAA Group 4 final at Rutgers Univeristy's SHI Stadium in Piscataway, as heard live on Central Jersey Sports Radio.

Franklin pitching shuts down Phillipsburg's offense.

With a reputation for being one of the Big Central Conference's most physical football teams, having someone who's a ball-hawk all over the field is a nice touch. More than that, senior Aedan Hywel is not just a ball-hawk, he's a quarterback hawk. He is a major reason the Phillipsburg Stateliners shut out two teams, held two more to single digits, and - through the North 2 Group 4 championship game, were holding teams to an average of just 12.4 points per game, despite playing in perhaps the most challenging division in the league, top to bottom.

Though both teams saw their playoff runs end in the state semifinals, Phillipsburg remains No. 1 in the Big Central Power Rankings for Week 12, while Bridgewater-Raritan moves up one spot to No. 2, taking a slight lead over New Providence. No one else moved as the Stateliners and Panthers were the only teams in action last week, and those top teams should hold, regardless of Phillipsburg's outcome on Thanksgiving against Easton.

Phillipsburg's win in the North 2, Group 4 title game kept the Stateliners atop the Big Central Power Rankings in Week 11, while Bridgewater-Raritan's win in the North 2, Group 5 final moves them further up, and well into the Top 50 statewide. New Providence held in second, despite falling to Cedar Grove in the North 2, Group 1 final, while Old Bridge dropped from fourth to seventh after a loss in the Central Jersey Group 5 title tilt.

Montgomery is an interesting opponent for Phillipsburg this championship weekend. They're a young program, not even in existence for 30 years, while the Stateliners already had nearly 100 years in the books before the Cougars ever stepped foot on a field. They had a solid 2023, lost a ton to graduation and won just one game last season, but now are 8-3 under first-year head coach Sean Carty, and playing in their first-ever title game.

As we've been doing all season long, Central Jersey Sports Radio is highlighting the high school football "Speedster of the Week" presented by Higgins Speed Lab in South Brunswick, recognizing the top runningbacks in the Big Central Conference every week. And the Week Ten winner is Sam Dech of Phillipsburg! This is Dech's fourth time on the list, and first time topping it as the "Speedster of the Week." Dech was part of a big ground game for top-seed Phillipsburg in a 35-7 win over fifth-seed Colonia in the North 2, Group 4 semifinals, scoring two second half touchdowns on a 217-yard, 23-carry night.

Discipline. Ignore the Noise. Grit. Every team has a slogan, a manta, and this is Phillipsburg's. D.I.G. Perhaps more than most teams in the state, that middle part may be the most important for the Stateliners. They are the equivalent of a Michigan, a Southern Cal, an Alabama. It doesn't matter the coach or the players, they are football royalty. They could be 0-8, but a win over them is to be celebrated.
