The road to a state championship continues this week as the 2026 NJSIAA football playoffs reach sectional championship week for public schools. One of the biggest storylines features Middletown North, which will look to end a 30-year championship drought when the top-seeded Lions host third-seeded Chatham in the North Jersey 2 Group 4 final. Middletown North is seeking its first sectional championship since 1996 and will have the opportunity to make history on its home field. Standing in the Lions’ way is a Chatham team looking to spoil the celebration and capture a sectional title of its own.

Tonight’s Shore Conference Special Friday Night Football Game of the Week coverage is presented by Sansone Jr’s Kia, including Sansone Jr’s 66 Kia in Neptune and Sansone Jr’s Keyport Kia.
