1-Ridge

Ridge reclaims its throne at No. 1, and it’s hard to argue against the reigning kings. The defending state champions — winners of three of the last four titles, enter the season with the same swagger that carried them from a No. 12 seed to the top of the podium last winter. Leading the way is NJ.com Boys Fencer of the Year, Reid Kokenge, back for his senior season and as poised as ever to anchor another title push. With championship pedigree, elite talent, and a history of rising to the moment, Ridge remains the team to beat.

2-Bergen Tech

Bergen Tech lands at No. 2, armed with depth and motivation after last year’s runner-up finish. The Knights return a strong core across all three weapons, giving them the balance and experience to stay firmly in the championship conversation.
