The South Jersey Group 4 championship game will be Friday night, Dec. 2, at Rowan University.
NJSIAA director Jack DuBois, who oversees football, said Monday that the other three South Jersey finals would be held on Saturday, Dec. 3, also at Rowan.
DuBois said the NJSIAA had not yet decided the order of Saturday's games. It will be Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3, or the reverse of that sequence.
"I can tell you Group 2 will be in the middle," DuBois said.
DuBois also said the Non-Public 1 and 2 state title games will be held at The College of New Jersey.
DuBois said the Non-Public 1 game will be Saturday, Dec. 3. That game will match St. Joseph of Hammonton, the No. 1 team in The Inquirer Top 10, against the Immaculate Conception-St. Mary winner.
The Non-Public 2 title game will likely be Friday night, Dec. 2, DuBois said, although that's not confirmed. That title game could match Camden Catholic vs. Holy Spirit, the top two seeds.
This is the first year that Rowan will host the sectionals.
The Group 4 title game would be a homecoming of sorts for Pennsauken coach Clinton Tabb, if the top-seeded Indians make it that far. Tabb was an All-American defensive back at Rowan.
"My players say they want to bring me home," Tabb said Sunday.
The NJSIAA will charge one admission on Saturday so that spectators will be able to watch all three games: $5.50 for adults and $2 for children and senior citizens.
