In this episode, NJ.com reporters Bill Evans, Donovan Hugel, Mike Kinney, Kevin Minnick and Ryan Patti break down all seven of the 2025 state championship games, which begin this weekend at MetLife Stadium and at SHI Stadium at Rutgers, with one more game on Dec. 3 at Rutgers. The reporters also make their picks on who wins each game, beginning with the Non-Public B championship at 10 a.m. on Friday and ending with the Group 2 championship on Dec. 3. 0:00: The state finals begins with the Non-Public B championship game as Paramus Catholic takes on DePaul. Can DePaul repeat as Non-Public champions, or can PC make the adjustments in the second meeting of the season? 8:15: Passaic Tech has turned its season around since Gabe Miles took over at quarterback, reaching another Group 5 final. Can Miles lead Passaic Tech past Washington Township or can Washington Township cap off an undefeated season with its first Group 5 title? 16:37: Cedar Creek's offense has been rolling the last few weeks. Can it keep it going against an Old Tappan team that has been a staple in the Group 3 championship game the last few years? 23:55: The biggest state final is the Non-Public A championship game, which pits No. 1 Don Bosco Prep against No. 2 St. Joseph (Mont.). Is this going to be the moment that Don Bosco Prep has been waiting for since 2015 or will SJR cause more heartbreak and make a statement in Augie Hoffmann's second year back at the helm? 33:15: A rematch between Cedar Grove and Glassboro awaits us in the Group 1 final. A revamped Cedar Grove team got to the final after Sebastian Kovacs made a 49-yard field goal as time expired against Butler. How does Cedar Grove slow down a stellar Glassboro team, and is this a coronation for Glassboro as it looks to build a Group 1 dynasty? 40:10 Speaking of repeat champions, Winslow is coming off a scare against Brick Memorial last weekend. How does Winslow rebound in the Group 4 championship against Ramapo? And how does Ramapo contend with Winslow's skill positions on the outside? 51:51: The Group 2 final features two teams playing Thanksgiving games as Camden and Shabazz will be playing on Dec. 3.
