In my latest column titled Emmons' Emphasis, I present my final South Jersey Sports Zone Top 15 high school football rankings of the season. In order to be eligible for these rankings, teams must be a member of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association, the West Jersey Football League and located within the traditional seven-county South Jersey region.
