34 Sniping by professionals
Gorgon had his client prepare a new sniper gun every time he 'worked'.
He is captain of Shinsengumi, so he uses the latest cartridge-style sniper gun from the Death Dealer clan.
In this world, a cartridge-type sniper gun has a lot of bullets and a little shell, depending on the capacity of the gunpowder (higuri).
The gun body is therefore also quite large, like a machine gun, which cannot be held and used with both hands, and is a silo thing that needs to be installed.
For the Divine Spirit group, which turns many battlefields daily, we cannot afford to carry a large weapon.
For that reason, Gorgon also had sniper guns arranged locally.
It was him who used different guns every time he worked, but even if he changed the gun body, there was something in the parts that he would never change.
One, himself.
He integrates himself, even with new guns, like his partner, who has crept through a lot of training grounds with him.
Second, floor laying.
He always lays down and shoots, but never lays his body directly on the ground, always laying his favorite rug (rug) on top of it.
And now the monocular glasses (scope).
Take it off and put it back on, even if it was pre-attached to the gun you were given.
The reason is in the aimer (reticle) in the scope.
The aimer is usually something with a simple cross in the circle, as you can see in the center, but his was different.
Under the circle, the palm of the white bone offered.
And whosoever is laid down in this scope shall literally live on his palm.
No......
Is it more right that it is kept alive by him?
Any giant body, even Kui Wei......
Whether you are the Thousand Slasher Swordsman known as Shura or the King of the Great Powers known as the Devil......
Even they who unleash an aura like a giant, as one person, subside in this.
Human beings, if they die, are all the same, as if they were bones and ashes......
What is captured by Gorgon's scope becomes an equal handful...!
What was now being gripped was Osama, who was wearing a loose dog mask.
It unilaterally hurts Gorgon's men, back-to-back with its cloud-like appearance.
This was the first time the assassination of Squad 4 failed.
But the look on his face, the captain, is cold as if it were a mechanical trick.
Originally, the men of the Thirteenth Squad of the Kamikami Group were only one of a kind to hide the Gorgon.
To turn a sniper killing into a massacre at their hands.
The captains of the Divine Spirit group are also introduced in the textbooks of history used in the School of the Brave.
But he's not the only one there.
Gorgon wiped out even its existence with his own hands, ghosts (ghosts) ……!
No, even life is a god of death (Death Gods) with palms...!
His white-boned fingers were hit, a trigger bent like a sickle.
That's finally, at the moment of squeeze,
Only the air trembled.
The rug he loves has the effect of silence.
It was meant to interfere with the magic chant, but the effect was to turn off the sound of the firing.
KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The sound of metal cutting the wind moved from mountain to mountain,
...... BANG!!!!
And like a shot watermelon, the head of a wild dog mask explodes shatteringly, that moment.
In the scope, something too strange happened.
... Kiddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
As soon as the wild dog mask shook off his grandson's hand in front of his face, like some kind of follow, the spark scattered.
Gorgon breathes without sound.
Thick eyebrows like seaweed, deep lines of decree like stabbing wounds, open into eight letters.
- Did you get a bullet?
... underdeveloped? Or, empty cannons?
Crushing in my heart, I get the bullets that were lined up beside me.
Check it out again, there's nothing strange about it.
- I checked this bullet thousands of times.
So it can't be a deficiency.
Pull the gun bolt and drain the pod.
Put the new bullet in the loading port and finish loading in a world without sound.
The second bullet that followed also captured the brow of the wild dog mask.
But now my face slipped sideways.
Behind it, his men, who are attacked, no matter how mundane, are in the middle of getting in line.
The black outfit, the identity of Squad 13, was no longer turned into a borough cloth.
They are all naked and peek at their keloidal skin from between cloths wrapped around them to the point of their apologies.
I'm sure I've been pushed over and over again by a burnt tablet.
It was loyalty to my boss, the captain, who was still pushing them against me, no matter how many times I was in return.
But ironically, they are by the bullets released by their bosses......
...... zpaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Shot through the head, blast...!!
――
The Wild Dog Mask doesn't know I'm here.
I'm 200 meters away. You can't see me.
Yet you turned the bullet...?
Coincidence, or...?
Osama, in a tiny circle, never sees the Gorgon better.
He slowly collapsed the agua and stood up quietly.
At its feet, there are a bunch of pussy and smoke-raising burnt bodies rolling around.
Just then, a third bullet was flying in, but it also flies in a way that picks something up.
What Osama had in his hands was a handmade bow and arrow.
Turn your torso toward the direction where the Gorgon is, and it will fly in the starry sky.
And oh, my God, I bit the string off with my teeth.
Osama used the power of his chin to squeeze strings, like a smart wild dog, even though his hand was not injured.
Too, too unique a shot.
If there was anything in this world that would have served as a bow police force, it would have been a bold and invincible setup that would have led to the immediate arrest of the current offender.
But Gorgon was all the more open.
Always like a knife, with sharp, glowing eyes.
Never leak a word, a tied mouth.
Whatever happened after I became captain, I never collapsed, the dead face of my facial expressions...
He was making the leopard look like a painting... of shock!
- What about that setup...!?
...... cockroach......!?
... Bishung!
With a subtlety similar to the blink of the star targeted, the arrow was shot off.

The best strategy games in the Windows 10 store
Jez Corden
I'm continuing our Windows store game round-ups with a look at the strategy genre.
As I mentioned in my shooter round-up, the Windows 10 game store is comprised mainly of content from the Windows 8.1 store. As more and more people pick up Windows 10 and engage with the app store, we can only hope more quality developers step in to bolster the offering. That said, the Windows 10 store has quite a robust array of strategic game offerings. It's possibly due in part to touch screen devices, which lend themselves well to strategy game controls.
Without further ado, here's some of the top-rated strategy games in the Windows 10 store! Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what your favourite strategy games are as well.
Age of Empires: Castle Siege
Age of Empires is one of Microsoft's oldest and most beloved game franchises. AoE leapt to Windows Phone and Windows 8 in the form of Age of Empires: Castle Siege a couple of years back, and it's rather awesome.
AoE: CS takes cues from other freemium strategy games like Clash of Clans. In the game, you'll build a civilisation using units and interfaces familiar to classic Age of Empires titles.
AoE: CS does have a rudimentary history-themed single player campaign, but the beef of the game is in its strategic player vs. player battles. Once you've built up your civilization, you can make armies using the resources and research you've accrued to attack other players. You don't fight against other players in real-time like mainline Age of Empires PC games. Instead, you command your units with swipes or mouse clicks to circumvent enemy player's defences.
Your base exists in the cloud, allowing your civilization to persist even when you're outside of the game. Other players will attack your base when you're offline, and you'll receive a notification for when this occurs. You can defend your base with various buildings and units, such as watchtowers and walls, in typical AoE fashion. Your victories and losses can be viewed in an instant replay mode, allowing you to examine where you need to improve your strategies.
As previously noted, AoE: CS is entirely cloud-based, meaning your progress carries across devices using your Xbox Live Gamertag as the login credentials. As a freemium title, the game is gated in particular ways. Build times and resource accrual can be very slow. Progressing through the later ages of civilization can require weeks of grinding without coughing up in-app purchases. However, building armies and attacking other players is rapid and seamless, so there's plenty of fun without paying a dime.
Download Age of Empires: Castle Siege from the Windows Store (Free)
Plague Inc. is a success story for mobile strategy games. Ndemic Productions brought the popular game to Windows 8 and Windows Phone earlier this year to much rejoicing.
In Plague Inc., you're tasked with the eradication of humanity - pretty dark huh? To achieve this goal, you play as one of the games several types of plague. Each micro-organism has a different set of strengths and weaknesses, and you control their evolution and development. Viruses mutate more rapidly than other diseases; parasites withstand environmental conditions, and bacteria come as a balanced option.
The game takes place with an overview of the world map. You can see the spread of your plague over time, and make adjustments to its development to meet resistances. News bulletins keep you up to date on the weather and other potentially hindering developments. Civilization reacts to your plague as well, so developing symptoms carefully is paramount to spreading undetected by world health organizations. Eventually, you'll be identified, and it becomes a race against time to ramp up your lethality before a cure is developed.
Plague Inc. is another free to play title. Different plagues get unlocked over time simply by playing, but you can go all-in to buy access straight away with in-app purchases.
Download Plague Inc. from the Windows Store ($1.99)
Skulls of the Shogun is a Xbox Live enabled turn-based strategy game featuring undead samurai. The game was developed by 17-BIT and hit Xbox 360, Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 as a Microsoft published title a few years back.
Skulls of the Shogun puts you in control of small squads of samurais, locked in an eternal war for control of Japan. The game has cartoony graphics and features a crude, but also charmingly humorous plot. Skulls' even has a cartoon series in development featuring Gears of War's John DiMaggio.
The game centers on strategic, turn-based combat, emphasizing map control, unit countering and positioning as important factors. Your undead samurai can 'haunt' fields and shrines, giving them access to resources and thus new units. Vanquished foes can be devoured, allowing your units to rank up and eventually transform, gaining new abilities. The game may appear simplistic at first glance, but it's surprisingly deep and single matches can take extended periods of time.
As a Xbox Live title, Skulls of the Shogun synchronizes your campaign progression across all devices and enjoys online and local versus modes. Matches progress even when you're not inside the app, and deliver a notification when it's your turn. The game carries a premium price tag, but there are no in-app purchases or pay-to-win mechanics.
Download Skulls of the Shogun from the Windows Store ($4.49)
Call of Duty: Heroes is very similar to Age of Empires: Castle Siege but with some cool differentiators. CoD: Heroes is based on the popular first-person shooter series. As such, combat scenarios introduce manual chopper gunners and other abilities that mimic Call of Duty's killstreaks.
Like AoE: CS, you build up a military base complete with resource management, troop deployment, research and so on. You can build a squad and attack enemy player's bases. You have less control over individual groups of soldiers when compared with AoE: CS, but the "hero" abilities add interactivity and flair in a different way. As Call of Duty: Heroes' name suggests, the game features characters from across the franchise - each upgradeable and with unique abilities. Hero characters can be directed as well with swipes and taps while regular troops deploy and then attack the nearest threats automatically.
Unlike the isometric 2D Castle Siege, Call of Duty: Heroes is 3D, which (literally) adds another dimension to how it plays. You can utilize Price's chopper gunner ability to take command of a helicopter mini-gun, raining down bullets on your enemies base in the process.
For some reason, Activision didn't use the same UI and sound effects as the main games, which makes it feel like it's 'Call of Duty' in name only. Regardless, it's very fun and very well made. In-app purchases lean towards skipping build queues, in what seems to be a staple of the genre. I find it to be a tad more generous than AoE: CS on the freemium front, but that might only be because I haven't progressed as far in it. Give it a try!

Press release by Kroger announcing partnership between Kroger and Ocado
CINCINNATI, June 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Family of Companies (NYSE: KR), America's largest grocery retailer, and Ocado (LSE: OCDO), a world leader in technology for grocery ecommerce, today announced the continued expansion of their partnership with plans to construct three new Customer Fulfillment Centers (CFC) in the Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest and West regions.
"Kroger is incredibly excited to construct three additional industry-leading Customer Fulfillment Centers across the country in relationship with Ocado to bring fresh food to our customers more conveniently than ever before," said Robert Clark, Kroger's senior vice president of supply chain, manufacturing and sourcing. "Through our strategic partnership, we are engineering a model for these regions, leveraging advanced robotics technology and creative solutions to redefine the customer experience."
Kroger has partnered with Ocado to accelerate its ability to provide customers with anything, anytime, anywhere. The CFC model – incorporating state-of-the-art automation and AI – will be used to expand Kroger products to a larger footprint. The new facility in the West will measure 300,000 square feet, the new facility in the Pacific Northwest will measure 200,000 square feet, and the facility in the Great Lakes region will measure 150,000 square feet. The varying sizes demonstrate the flexibility of the Ocado fulfillment ecosystem to best serve the respective markets. When operational, the facilities will collectively create more than 1,000 new jobs, with the potential for hundreds of additional career opportunities. The exact locations of the new facilities will soon be announced.
"Kroger and Ocado are building an ecommerce ecosystem across the U.S. that will deliver unrivalled online experiences to more customers, in more ways and in more markets," said Luke Jensen, CEO of Ocado Solutions. "Spanning a range of automated CFC sizes, these three new sites will be key parts of this growing and flexible fulfillment network. Alongside the scale and wider benefits of larger CFCs, smaller format and mini CFCs will allow Kroger to reach more geographies with Ocado's automation, while also catering to a wide range of options for delivery." The newly named locations will complement the retailer's previously announced CFC sites in Monroe, OH; Groveland, FL; Fredericksburg, MD; Atlanta, GA; Dallas, TX; and Pleasant Prairie, WI.Kroger plans to open the country's first CFC in Monroe, OH, a suburb of Cincinnati, in early 2021.
Our last stock valuation of Kroger Co
So what are The Kroger Company stock worth considering their latest earnings release? Based on the earnings released and the outlook provided our valuation models set a target (full value) price for The Kroger Company of $36.10 a stock (down slightly from our 3rd quarter 2019 earnings report valuation of Kroger) . We therefore believe Kroger Company stock is undervalued.
We usually recommend that long term fundamental or value investors look to enter a stock at least 10% below our target price which in this case is $36.10. a good entry point into the stock of Kroger Company would therefore be at $ 32.50 or below.
We expect that the stock of Kroger Company will kick upwards from its current price to levels closer to our target price/ full value price in coming weeks and months.
Next earnings release of Kroger Co
Kroger Co will release their 1st quarter 2020 earnings on 18 June 2020

Kermit the Frog also likes to look out the window when he flies. Here I think he's looking for Sesame Street.
When I flew down to Maryland to celebrate my uncle's funeral Mass two weeks ago, I had a window seat on the airplane. And so, once we were in the air for a few minutes, I did what I normally do after a few minutes in the window seat: I looked out and tried to figure out where we were (what we were flying over)—and especially where Westerly was. (I wanted to give you all a little wave.) Now sometimes I can do that: sometimes I'm able to pick out certain landmarks from the air and tell you exactly what city or town is down below. I'm able to do that mostly when I'm flying south and we pass over Westerly early in the flight. But I find that almost impossible to do when I'm flying into Providence. That's because the world looks so different from "up there"! Things that we see "down here" every day take on a different look when our perspective changes from "the horizontal" to "the vertical".
In other words, God's perspective on the world, from his vantage point heaven, is a lot different from our perspective on the world from our vantage point here on earth!
· God sees the whole picture; we don't.
· God sees how everything in this life—including our sin and our suffering—can work for our good, if we allow it to. We don't see that, most of the time.
· God sees the reality—and the horror—of sin. We don't always—which is why we sin.
The challenge of this life (or at least one of the challenges of this life) is to try to see reality from God's perspective—to the extent that we can on this side of the grave.
One way to test whether or not you are developing a divine perspective on things is to ask yourself this question: In today's gospel reading, who were the blessed ones? Who were the real winners in this parable that Jesus tells? Was it the workers who got the reward for doing next to nothing? Was it the workers who came in the final hour of the day and did the least amount of work?
No! Someone with a divine perspective would say that the truly blessed ones here were the ones who worked the longest, the ones who worked the entire day from dawn to dusk.
He'd say that because those who worked all day fulfilled their purpose better and more completely than the others did! Notice that all the men who were hired that day were "laborers". That was their call; that was their purpose: to work in the landowner's vineyard and bring him good fruit. The ones who started at dawn did that for the longest period of time—and brought in a lot of great fruit; those who came on board at the very end spent most of their day bored and wasting time and consequently brought in very little good fruit.
Obviously, of course, this parable is a metaphor for life, reminding us that even those who convert on their deathbeds can be saved.
When they say that, they're right. For all those previous years they failed to achieve their true purpose: to know, to love and to serve the Lord. And even though they will go to heaven at the end of it all, the fact that they waited until the 11th hour will probably effect the depth of the beatitude that they will experience there. Remember, Jesus does distinguish between "the least" and "the greatest" in his Father's eternal kingdom.
Coming to see reality from God's perspective—that is to say, understanding the Lord's ways and thoughts—is an ongoing process. No one—including St. Paul—has understood the Lord's ways and thoughts completely during their time on this earth. That's because as human beings we are finite and sinful creatures, while God is infinite and sinless.
· Why did God allow those two recent hurricanes to do so much damage to the property of so many people in so many different places?
· Why did God allow that school in Mexico to collapse and kill 19 children during earthquake last week?
· Why does God allow the killing of the innocent to continue in our world through abortion and euthanasia and genocide?
It's easy to trust God when you understand the "why" of something; it's much harder to trust God when you don't understand the "why".
Today we should pray for the grace to do both.
I want to close today with a meditation that I'm sure many of you have heard before. But it bears repeating here, because it reminds us that God is always at work—even in the chaos and confusion of our lives. The meditation compares the events of this life to the threads of a weaving. As most of you know, if you look at a weaving from the underside, it looks messy: there's no pattern to it; threads are hanging from it; it's not attractive at all. It's only when you look at the weaving from the other side (the upper side) that you see how all those different threads have blended together to form a beautiful work of art.
On Monday, August 21—the day after my retirement Mass and party—I went down to Maryland to see my aunt and uncle (as I've done for many years now during the third week of August). This year, though, something was different: my uncle was in a nursing home recovering from a stroke he had suffered a few weeks before. On Thursday the 24th they brought him home and placed him in hospice care. It was difficult to see my uncle in that condition, even though he's 87 and his health has been declining for quite some time. He's a retired Army Colonel and has always had a very commanding, engaging presence. People have always loved to be around him. But the stroke, combined with the dementia he was suffering from previously, has taken its toll—making it very difficult to communicate with him in any kind of meaningful way. In fact, with the exception of my aunt, he doesn't always know who people are—even people in his own family.
I'm sure many of you can relate.
But, through it all, my aunt has been amazing. In fact, she's the reason I'm mentioning this in my homily this morning. Even though she's 85 and not in great health herself, she was at that nursing home at least twice a day at her husband's side—encouraging him and trying to communicate with him—in spite of the fact that he was often saying things that only he could understand. And then, when they brought him home and my uncle got restless and disoriented at 2 or 3 a.m., she got up and went into the separate room (where they had placed the hospital bed) in order to comfort him and calm him down as only she could. She did that every night that I was there—depriving herself of the sleep that she certainly needed.
When we first hear a Scripture passage like that, we may think of the great saints and martyrs of the Church, who literally offered their bodies to the Lord in some special service or in martyrdom. And it certainly does apply to them! But the text also applies to people like my aunt. It applies, in other words, to people who make the sacrifices necessary to fulfill their vocations in life well (whether it be as a priest, or a religious, or a husband, or a wife, or a father, or a mother, or as a single person living for Christ in the world).
That should be our daily intention as disciples of Jesus Christ.
But if we're going to do this, it means that we will have to think differently than most other people do! Let's face it, most people in the modern world don't see their daily, ordinary, mundane tasks in such spiritual terms. They're just things that need to be done—period. There is nothing spiritual about them.
My aunt saw things differently. Because she's allowed her mind to be renewed by the truth of the gospel concerning marriage, she didn't conform her behavior to the wisdom of "this age"; rather, she discerned that God's will for her was that she go and visit my uncle every day—whether he remembered who she was or not.
If we want to do God's will in our lives we have to allow the Lord to do this for us. We have to allow the Lord to work on our minds and give us a different perspective on reality—different, at least, from the typical, worldly perspective that most people have. Now we do that—we allow God to renew our minds—in 3 ways (I got these from Fr. Francis Martin): by thinking about holy things, by praying about holy things (the Bible can help us to do that) and by talking about holy things.
How often do you do you engage in those 3 activities? If you're like me, not often enough.
In this regard, the fact of the matter is we are all "works in progress." That is to say, none of us has a perfectly renewed mind at this moment. And we never will on this side of the grave.
Peter's mind was renewed to the point where he saw Jesus differently than other people saw him—including, perhaps, some of his fellow apostles.
Most other people looked at Jesus and saw a really smart and powerful rabbi. But that was all they saw! Peter looked at Jesus and he saw something more! He saw the deeper reality. He saw the man that Israel had been waiting for for centuries—a man who had a unique and special relationship with God.
Thanks be to God, Peter eventually got it right. It took him a while—and a few other falls—but he finally had his mind renewed on this point.
Which was one of the major reasons why he eventually offered his body in the ultimate sacrifice of martyrdom. He was martyred in Rome by the Emperor Nero in what is now St. Peter's Square.
We will probably not be asked to make that kind of sacrifice ourselves, but all of us will be called to make sacrifices like the one my aunt has made in her life. We will be called to "offer our bodies to God" by doing hard things, difficult things, unpleasant things—in order to love others and to live our vocations well.
May we be as successful in our self-offering efforts as my aunt has been in hers.

Research roundup of 2018
Spit tests and virtual fingers: our top 10 research highlights from 2018
Dr Ian Le Guillou looks back on the past 12 months of prostate cancer breakthroughs, picking out the ones that made the biggest splash and previewing what we can look forward to in 2019.
In - Research Blog Dr Ian Le Guillou
Making the headlines
At the beginning of the year, we revealed that prostate cancer is now the third biggest cancer killer in the UK. A shortfall in research funding has meant that new advances have not been able to keep pace with the increasingly older population, and now the disease takes more lives than breast cancer. The degree of attention given to prostate cancer led to the Prime Minister pledging £75 million towards prostate cancer research.
Continuing to innovate
In March, we announced our latest batch of Research Innovation Awards – almost £3 million invested in exciting new projects such as a potential prostate cancer vaccine and highly-targeted radiotherapy to stop treatment resistance.
Shutting the stable doors
The latest findings from the enormous STAMPEDE trial showed that men whose cancer has spread to just a few areas outside the prostate could still benefit from radiotherapy targeted at the prostate. It could have been a case of 'shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted', but now we know that it improves three-year survival by 10 per cent in men starting hormone therapy.
Creating a virtual finger
Our funded research from the University of Dundee has developed a new type of scan for prostate cancer called shear wave elastography. This special type of ultrasound is able to detect changes in the stiffness of the prostate, a bit like a virtual doctor's finger.
Spitting image of risk
Back in June, the front pages heralded a simple saliva test to identify men at risk of prostate cancer. Researchers had identified a number of genes that when combined could help to estimate a man's future risk, with the top one per cent of men having six times greater risk of prostate cancer.
Targetting a rogue immune system
Research that we funded thanks to your support discovered that the immune system can actually help prostate cancer to become resistant to treatments. Now the researchers are testing existing drugs for the immune system to see if they can help treatments for prostate cancer work for longer.
Hitting the ultrasonic spot
The largest ever study of a type of focal therapy called HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) showed that it could prevent prostate cancer returning within five years in 88 per cent of cases. The treatment works by just targeting the cancerous area of the prostate and is only available in specialist centres, but more evidence is needed to compare it against alternatives such as radiotherapy or active surveillance.
Starting an immunotherapy revolution
This year, immunotherapy made it into the news a few times for prostate cancer. This revolutionary new type of treatment that triggers the immune system towards the cancer has had some great successes in other diseases, but so far it only appears to work for a very small proportion of men with advanced prostate cancer.
Discovering more risk genes
A large group of researchers discovered an additional 22 genes that can increase the risk of prostate cancer. There are already existing drugs that affect these genes, so these can now be tested as potential treatments for prostate cancer.
Pinpointing precision medicine
A new trial of mpMRI scans has shown that using the technology to guide biopsies can detect many more aggressive prostate cancers. These scans are now being rolled out across the UK, with half of men now having access according to our latest findings.
And 2019 promises to be an even bigger year for our research: with preparations almost complete for a landmark five-year trial of a potential screening programme, millions of pounds of new research projects underway and new guidelines for active surveillance due to be rolled out across the UK – all thanks to your generous donations.
Here's to a very happy New Year for everyone!
New research trials focused radiotherapy to keep hormone therapy working longer
We're funding Dr Alison Tree, an oncologist at the Royal Marsden, to trial a new kind of radiotherapy that keeps hormone therapy working for longer in men with advanced disease. She tells us about the cutting-edge technology behind the potential new treatment and the big hopes she has for it.
We call for upfront radiotherapy for some men with advanced disease to extend more than 3,000 lives a year
The latest results from the STAMPEDE trial have shown immediate radiotherapy with standard hormone therapy could increase the survival of thousands of men diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that hasn't spread too widely. We're now calling for the treatment to be offered to these men as standard on the NHS.

Q: Create Table in MySQL with Exactly One not NULL value in a combination of columns I have 3 tables namely:
1. department_heads

*

*DepartmentID

*StaffID

2. sub_department_heads

*

*SubDepartmentID

*StaffID

3. branch_managers

*

*BranchID

*StaffID

Now what I want is not have staff being a department head as well as a branch manager or sub department head and vise verse.
Staff can only belong in only one table.
Kindly advice on how i can structure my tables. Thanks in advance.

A: Combine 3 tables to one. For example (schematically)
CREATE TABLE Heads (
    StaffID PRIMARY KEY,
    DepartmentID FOREIGN KEY,
    SubDepartmentID FOREIGN KEY,
    BranchID FOREIGN KEY,
    CHECK (DepartmentID IS NULL + SubDepartmentID IS NULL + BranchID IS NULL = 2)
);

A: This worked for me. @Akina Thanks for your contribution.
CREATE TABLE `heads` (
  `StaffId` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `DeptId` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `SubDeptId` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `BranchId` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`StaffId`),
  CONSTRAINT `heads_chk_1` CHECK ((`DeptId` is not null) + (`SubDeptId` is not null) + (`BranchId` is not null) = 1)

Americans have apparently had enough of the excessive home prices, rents and taxes. It's gotten so bad they've elected to flee these overtaxed metro areas.
Residents have had enough in large metropolitan areas like New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Due to high costs in these overtaxed metro areas, residents are packing up and moving out by the 1,000s.
Not surprisingly, these domestic migrants are flocking to areas with a lower cost of living. Residents are in search of areas with lower/no state income taxes, less regulations and higher job growth.
Sick of seeing all these stats separate from one another? Want to see what each place costs when accounting for your own personal spending habits (particularly housing and all forms of taxes)? Now you can! Just download the City Vs City cost of living calculator to see how your unique financial circumstances would look in a different U.S. city.

Dickson in Crusaders contract limbo over knee injury
Mark Dickson says he's in the dark regarding his future at Crusaders while he awaits a knee operation.
Last season's Irish Cup final hero says he hasn't been offered a new contract by the Crues, and he took another swipe at the 4G playing surface.
"My team-mates — everybody who knows me — are aware I don't like it at all because I'm in pain playing on it after training and after matches," he said.
"I would be reluctant to leave Seaview because I get on well with the players, and as you see, I show up for every match.
"It's been good watching them — they've done well this season and won a trophy, but as to what will happen in my own situation, I don't know.
"I'm out of contract and at present. Nobody has given me a hint about whether they'll be offering me another one."
Crusaders are unlikely to offer Dickson (pictured) a new deal unless the striker can return in pre-season and prove his fitness to manager Stephen Baxter. But the former Linfield player's recovery has been hampered by an extended wait for an operation.
"At this moment in time I haven't been offered a contract. I am waiting for an operation on a long-term knee injury," he added.
"The waiting list was originally to be 12 weeks — now that's been extended to 26 weeks — but unfortunately during that 26 weeks I'm on holiday so at the moment the operation won't be done before June 21. I couldn't play at the moment."

Postseason football games we can dream about and those we're more likely to see
Scenes like this - when Hillside won the South/Central Group 2 Bowl Championship in 2019 - will not be played out in 2020. But there will be some version of a postseason this fall, and that's reason enough to celebrate. Scott Faytok | For NJ Advance Media
By Mike Kinney | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
After the winter high school athletic season was cut short before state basketball championships and the entire spring calendar was blotted out by the coronavirus, we all are feeling pretty lucky to have any semblance of football.
We enter Week 6 of a shortened regular season that has been at once a wonderful diversion from the world outside the lines and a strange-at-best endeavor with pockets of canceled and hastily rescheduled games, near-empty football stadiums and pop-up tents for locker rooms.
Still, emphasis is placed on the wonderful part.
And on top of that, there also will still be some version of a postseason, though certainly not the kind we have grown accustomed to with sectional title games and now Bowl Championship games at major sporting venues. This postseason won't bear any resemblance to that.
But we can still dream, can't we?
The NJ.com high school football staff has cooked up some dream matchups we'd love to see if travel, group distinction or essentially any NJSIAA playoff guidelines were completely off the table. We - like the youngsters who still get to pad up on Friday night or Saturday afternoon – are just having some fun.
Not all of these suggestions are preposterous, and a few, actually, may take shape. Sometimes the reality is the dream.
But there is a more serious side to this, as well. After the dream matchups, we have presented explanations and scenarios of what can actually be expected following this weekend of play among the state's five football conferences.
The Dream Games
Runnng back Ethan Rodriguez (10) of St. Peter's Prep scores a touchdown in the first half against the Mountaineers at West Orange High School on Friday, October 2, 2020. Andrew Mills | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
St. Augustine vs. St. Peter's Prep
St. Augustine's ultimate goal for much of the last decade was to compete with the North Jersey non-public powers. Last year it did in a big way.
The Hermits went up North and came away with a statement win over Seton Hall Prep before falling just short of frying a bigger fish when it led eventual state No. 1 St. Peter's Prep, holding a seven-point lead and the ball with five minutes to go.
The goal coming into this season was to take that step and see if it could neat a traditional power and reach the final. With no state-wide playoffs, that chance won't be coming for the Hermits, though we'd love to see it.
With a core of juniors, though, St. Augustine should be positioned to take its shot next year.
St. Joseph (Hamm.) vs. Hammonton: Blueberry Bowl
The last time these two former city Thanksgiving rivals met was in 2013 with St. Joseph (Hamm.) pulling out a 28-21 victory. St. Joe's and Hammonton are both among South Jersey's top teams and appear to be pretty evenly matched and there isn't much better than a neighborhood rivalry especially with a season where division and sectional/state titles have been taken away.
Both teams have stellar running games and hard-hitting defenses, which should make for a physical, entertaining contest.
Salem vs. Paulsboro
These Group 1 South Jersey contenders have played a few postseason classics the last few years and would have met up in the West Jersey Football League Diamond Division this year.
The last time the teams met Paulsboro came up with a goal-line stand to defeat Salem, 28-20, I a South Jersey Group 1 semifinal. The year before Paulsboro edged out Salem, 29-26, in Jonathan Taylor's final game as a Ram.
With both teams undefeated this year, this would be an unofficial South Jersey Group 1 final.

Mike Kinney
Weequahic vs. Hillside
These schools are separated by only one group (Hillside is Group 2, Weequahic 1) and all of 1.6 miles, and they have collectively reached five sectional championships since 2016. It's as easy as Liberty Ave. to Chancellor Ave if you're heading from Hillside, vice versa if you start at Weequahic, and yet these two schools have not met in a football game since 1999, and that was the first since 1967. This would be the year to break that drought. Hillside (3-1), coming off three straight sectional crowns and last year's South/Central Group 2 Bowl Championship, would be calling to QB Caleb Salters, running backs Jabarri Stanley and Naseer Ellis, and WR Fatir Bell for leadership. Weequahic (3-2), a sectional champ in 2016, has prolific RB Donovan Wadley, QB Jerron Phillips and defensive stars Jordan Augustin and Nasir Stanley.
Wall vs. Woodbridge
Ninth-ranked Woodbridge (4-0) averages almost 26 ppg. behind its most prolific running back of all time, senior Ali Lee, Jr., while No 4 Wall (4-0) has allowed only 13 points this season and spun three straight shutouts heading into Friday's game against Middletown South. But since Woodbridge is North, Group 4 and Wall is South Group 3, we would not be able to see a classic confrontation such as this under normal conditions. Wall is a scary team to operate one's offense against. But with juniors like Charlie Sasso, Colin Riley, Blake Rezk and Josph Sommers leading the way, the Crimson Knights stand to be even scarier in 2021. They would have to figure out a way to slow down Lee, who has rushed for 859 yards and scored 11 touchdowns this season, and has compiled over 3,600 rushing yards in his career. This is not a one-dimensional offense, however, as senior QB Anthony Santino and senior receiver Justin Magera offer both experience and versatility.
North Brunswick vs. West Orange
North Brunswick is 33 miles south of West Orange, and West Orange is slightly east of North Brunswick, but who beyond Rand McNally would really care? We'd find a way to get to this game, coached by two men who have resurrected struggling programs. North Brunswick (5-0), was 9-2 last year and is now 30-8 in three-plus years under alum Michael Cipot. The Raiders were a combined 5-25 in three seasons before his appointment. West Orange was 15-24-1 in the four years before Darnell Grant left Shabazz in 2018 and guided the Mountaineers to a 7-4 mark last season. West Orange's talented lineup has Stanford-bound WR Jayson Raines, QB Mason Murdock, RB Shakhi Carson and defensive stars Amiyn Hanks and Dorian Rawls. North Brunswick is sparked by surprising sophomore QB Frankie Garbolino, RB Dejhon Thomas and Jaiquil Boyd, WR Marquis Perry and linbacker Jaiquil Boyd.
North Plainfield vs Winslow
North Plainfield had suffered through six straight losing seasons, but now is 5-0 for the first time since 2010 and averaging 39.4 ppg. with an offense that is balanced enough to have done this damage with two quarterbacks, Keiahn Grenald and Michael Knight. Winslow was 15-25 over the previous four seasons, yet is now 4-0 with a defense that has yielded a mere 6.5 ppg. Call this one of the Revival Bowl. But since North Plainfield is North, Group 3 and Winslow South, Group 4, you'd be calling it out to deaf ears. Running back Nasir McGlone and receivers Ahmad Murkey and Khan-Yae Stevens are part of this exciting North Plainfield offense that also can get a boost from sophomore kicker Will Grabko. Those Canucks would surely be challenged by linebacker Emeril Mitchell, DE Yasir Williams and secondary standouts Jayden Brown and Jaylen Cheek. Teammate Hamas Duren engineers the offense for Winslow at QB.

Newton vs. West Morris
There are few areas as prideful as Morris-Sussex when it comes to its football teams. But which public team is the best among the two counties? At this point that would be Newton, who gets the nod after beating Lenape Valley, representing Sussex County. In Morris County it would be either West Morris or Randolph (which will be decided this week) but we'll give the nod to West Morris as of now as they have a win over another top Sussex team in Sparta.
Delbarton vs. Bergen Catholic OR St. Peter's Prep
Delbarton had been waiting for this year behind a strong senior class and, despite a shortened season, has proven just how competitive they are with wins over DePaul and Don Bosco Prep. But can the Green Wave run with the elite? That's what we'd love to find out against the two remaining unbeaten (as of now) Big 6 teams which would provide Delbarton an opportunity to make a claim as the state's top team.
Morris Catholic vs. Parsippany Hills
Expect plenty of passes in this Morris County matchup between two of the most used quarterbacks in the state. Morris Catholic's Dean Denobile has thrown 157 passes, most in the state, with Parsippany Hills' Chris Evans slinging the ball 134 times, tied for fifth most in the state. Both teams have proven they can find success on defense but, in this one, offense would reign supreme.
Clifton vs. Wayne Hills
Wayne Hills has scoured the state for competition in a season where games get canceled late in the week. But, in this scenario, arguably its toughest foe won't require a cross-state trip. These two teams are arguably the top fourth-quarter teams in the Super Football Conference with Wayne Hills' defense allowing just 6 points in five games counted by 13 points in four games for Clifton. Clifton lost out on a potential 'prove it' game against Woodbridge with its shutdown but this would be an incredible consolation to show it belongs among the best public teams in the state.

Patrick Lanni
St. Joseph (Mont.) vs. Holy Spirit
Only three running backs have cracked 1,000 yards in this shortened season and two of them would be featured prominently in this one. Not only are Audric Estime of St. Joe's and Patrick Smith of Holy Spirit two of the state's top senior tailbacks and big-time recruits, they're completely different players. Estime, a 6-1, 213-pound Michigan State commit, runs downhill with power while Smith, a Colorado State commit and open-field specialist, can do anything with the ball in his hands. Don't forget ... these teams used to compete in the same postseason bracket. That won't be the case this year, but it was less than 10 years ago that these teams played in an exciting championship game won by St. Joe's, 14-13.
Boonton vs. Hoboken
This dream takes you back to the 19th century before the forward pass was invented. If you like watching the Army-Navy game or dream of an NFL without Patrick Mahomes, this one's for you. Neither team throws the ball more than five times a game. Boonton (5-0), which runs a triple-option offense, has kept 186 of its 204 plays (91%) on the ground. Hoboken, a Wing T team with a 4-1 record, also checks in at 91% with 204 of its 225 play calls coming via the run. Not only do they match up extremely well, both teams won their divisions in the Super Football Conference and would have been contenders for sectional titles. Hoboken's only loss came to Cedar Grove on opening night, 17-14, while unbeaten Boonton, last year's winner in North 1, Group 1, features a 1,000-yard rusher with Hunter Van Zant.
St. Peter's Prep vs. Bergen Catholic
Because once is not enough. In a normal year, the team that finished No. 1 in New Jersey would have to run the gauntlet in divisional play and then do it again in the postseason. Most have pinpointed these two teams, which have been ranked No. 1 and 2 in the state all season long, as the two most talented team. They'll meet Saturday in one of the state's biggest games, but who wouldn't dream of a rematch?
Ramapo vs. West Side
Everyone forgot about West Side after its opening-week loss to Nutley, but don't forget how good this game was a year ago. These teams combined for 89 points last year when Ramapo held on to win, 49-40. Both teams brought back key contributors, and it seems that West Side, a team with five Division 1 recruits, has turned it on lately. Ramapo, meanwhile, is coming off a two-week coronavirus shutdown and gets an immediate test from state-ranked Wayne Hills. It's possible that these teams, both from the Super Football Conference, get paired, but there are also a ton of other talented Group 3 teams that have played their way into the top tier while Ramapo and West Side will have at least one loss by Week 7.

Camden vs. Winslow, Part II at Rowan
These two teams are much better than when they met on Opening Night, and that proved to be a highly entertaining battle. With athletes all over the field, a sequel would pack the bleachers at Rowan University and prove to be worth the price of admission. Winslow prevailed 15-12 as Emeril Mitchell made a game-sealing tackle as Camden drove toward the end zone in the closing seconds. An explosive Camden offense vs. Winslow's rugged defense? Get there early and save some room for the popcorn.
Lenape vs. St. Peter's Prep at Rutgers
The top public-school team in the state, although in the real world it was forced to shut down for a second time due to COVID issues, takes on the top Non-Public and current No. 1 team in the NJ.com Top 20 under the lights. Lenape, No. 3 in the rankings, brings a plethora of talent to the field in a showdown against a national powerhouse with a solid cast of characters, too. Both teams are undefeated. Lenape wants to show that South Jersey can play with the best, while SPP wants nothing less than to send longtime coach Rich Hansen out with an undefeated campaign.
Cherokee vs. Williamstown: The Rematch at Rowan
As part of a South Jersey football bonanza, Rowan University again provides the backdrop for what would be a sellout no matter what day or time. These two teams have proven to be among the best in South Jersey all season and clearly among the state's elite. It's a rematch of last season's South/Central Group 5 regional championship and would be a celebration of big-school football. Williamstown, the two-time defending South Jersey champion, dominated last year's game at Rutgers, posting a 30-14 decision. The way Cherokee has been playing this season, one would have to believe a 16-point spread would be out of the question.

Mater Dei won 26-19 after scoring the go-ahead touchdown on a hook and ladder with under a minute left in the game.Scott Faytok | For NJ Advance Media
Joe Zedalis
Rumson-Fair Haven vs. Somerville
The games between these two Central Jersey rivals are usually so good, they should played every year. The matchup is always intriguing because of the conflicting styles. Rumson-Fair Haven is a grind-it-out, take-time-off-the-clock offense. Somerville is a fast-paced, spread-them-out, score-from-anywhere kind of team. Consider the results of their most recent meetings: Rumson-Fair Haven, 42-35, in 2018; Somerville, 20-15, in 2017 and Rumson-Fair Haven, 21-13, in 2016.
Mater Dei vs. DePaul
We've heard there may be opportunities for teams to cross conference lines and seek competition -- stronger or lesser -- in other areas of the state. So it isn't outlandish to consider a rematch of last December's Non-Public Group 3 title game between Mater Dei and No. 14 DePaul. There's little question that Mater Dei would love another chance to get those three or four inches which were the difference in DePaul's thrilling, 27-25, victory at Rutgers Stadium. Mater Dei head coach Dino Mangiero took a field goal off the scoreboard to try for a touchdown. DePaul responded with a goal-line stop that proved to be the difference in the game.
Point Pleasant Beach vs. Dunellen
How about a dream matchup for a reason other than two powerhouses meeting? How about a dream pairing so one team gets the opportunity to experience winning? How about a game that gives provides two teams with a chance to win and feel good about themselves? In 2020, the year ravaged by COVID-19, doesn't everyone deserve that chance? Point Beach (0-4) is one of only two winless teams in the Shore Conference. It has been outscored 44-136. Dunellen (0-5) has been outpointed 52-185. On paper it sounds like a pretty competitive game. It would take a little work since Dunellen is in the Big Central, but it would be well worth the effort by all.
Here is what the 2020 post-season is more likely to look like among the state's five football conferences.
Big Central Football Conference
Members Carteret and Piscataway did not compete this fall, and J.P. Stevens, Franklin and Perth Amboy have opted out of post-season play entirely while South Plainfield has elected to play just one game. With those absences combined with the numerous coronavirus-related cancellations that occurred throughout this shortened season, the original plan to create four-team competitive pods had to be scrapped according to Scott Miller, president of the BCFC and also Brearley head coach and AD.
"We're going to start with makeup games, but we also would like those makeup games to be games that are competitive. We're trying to keep those games competitive and give schools a chance to play like-schools," Miller said.
"It's basically going to be an extension of the schedule with two games added, but we're going to try to make those games as competitive as possible. We're going to get playoff-caliber teams playing each other," he said. "Even though it's not the playoffs, hopefully we'll have that kind of playoff atmosphere."
Possible matchups
Woodbridge (4-0) vs. Somerville (5-0): Two of the top running backs in the state – Ali Lee Jr. of Woodbridge and Cookie Desiderio of Somerville – would be feature attractions in this clash between ninth-ranked Woodbridge and the 19th-ranked Pioneers.
Woodbridge (4-0) vs. North Brunswick (5-0): This would be considered the Middlesex County championship one year after the Greater Middlesex Conference merged with the Mid-State 38 to form the Big Central.
Matt Quetel has scored 14 touchdowns to pace the offense for 6-0 Phillipsburg.Tim Wynkoop | For NJ Advance Media
Phillipsburg (3-1) vs. Somerville (5-0): Somerville has bruising senior Cookie Desiderio running the ball for Somerville, and 17th-ranked Phillipsburg has a proven rushing standout of its own in senior Matt Quetel, who helped the Stateliners reach the North 2, Geoup 4 semifinals last year.
Bernards (4-1) vs. North Plainfield (5-0): Khan-Yae Stevens, Ahmad Murkey and Adam Elsais have helped make North Plainfield one of the big surprises in the conference after struggling through six straight losing seasons. Steady Bernards has gone 20-5 in the last two-plus seasons with Teddy Gouldin, Luke Burns and Pat Caldwell.
Phillipsburg (3-1) vs. Ridge (4-1): Ridge, led by QB Mike Olivo and running backs Luke Roberts and Lucas Hudkins, looks for its fourth straight win Friday against Hillsborough. Quarterback Matt Garatty and WR Jalil Terrel have been key weapons for No. 17 Phillipsburg.
North Brunswick (5-0) vs. Ridge (4-1): Ridge, which has won three straight games, is South Group 5, and North Brunswick North Group 5. This would be an appealing matchup for two teams that would not see each other in the playoffs.
Delaware Valley (5-0) vs. Bernards (4-1): Delaware Valley would be out for revenge against a Bernards squad it lost to twice last year, in the regular season and in the first round in Central Jersey, Group 2.
New Providence (4-1) vs. Brearley (3-1): This divisional battle, scheduled for last Friday, was canceled because three students at Brearley had tested positive. Seniors Dan Ramos, Derek Graichen and Mike Dotro guided Brearley to a victory over the Pioneers last year to claim the Mid-State 38-Union Division crown.
Bound Brook (4-1) vs. Brearley (3-1): Current running standout Derek Graichen scored three touchdowns last year against Bound Brook, the third with four seconds left for a 22-19 Brearley victory.
Rahway RB Rashon Bradford catches a short pass from Nasir Arribas en route to his first of four touchdowns Saturday in Rahway's 41-23 victory over Summit.Andrew Mills | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Rahway (4-1) vs. Cranford (4-1): Rahway still has talented RB Rashon Bradford and QB Nasir Arribas from last year's 46-14 win over Cranford, but many linemen and defensive stars are gone, and Cranford is a stronger team. Denis DeMarino and Jake Chapman lead the Cougars.
South River (2-2) vs. Middlesex (2-1): This divisional clash was canceled Oct. 16 while Middlesex served a 14-day quarantine. Middlesex dominated last year's game, 35-7, but South River was largely fueled by underclassmen and the Blue Jays paced by seniors.
St. Thomas Aquinas (3-1) vs. St. Joseph (2-2): Why not give Middlesex County's two non-public schools a chance to bang heads? St. Thomas plays in a smaller division, but is vastly improved from last year.
Hillsborough (3-2) vs. Bridgewater-Raritan (2-1): Hillsborough edged the Panthers, 14-13, last year with a blocked PAT in the first half. Sean Levonaitis, who rushed for 193 yards and a TD that night, still powers the ground attack for Hillsborough.
Bridgewater-Raritan (2-1) vs. Cranford (4-1): Cranford defeated a Ridge team that topped Bridgewater-Raritan, 42-14, on opening night. Bridgewater rebounded nicely behind Brady Kurdyla and Ryan McKinney to beat Union, Westfield, but then lost two games because positive tests within the district.
Union (3-2) vs. South Brunswick (4-1): The Igbinosun brothers, Desmond and Davison, and Diante Wilson have led Union to back-to-back shutout wins over St. Joseph and Elizabeth. Majid Howard-Baker and Vince Jairdullo had steered South Brunswick to four consecutive wins before falling to Old Bridge last week, 22-18.
Gov. Livingston (4-1) vs. Summit (2-3): A young Gov. Livingston team lost to senior-oriented Summit, 50-0, last year, but are far better armed now with QB Connor Tracy and running backs Jayson Schmidt and Joe Riggi. West Point commit Austin Groce, a RB/LB, leads the way for Summit.
Montgomery (2-2) vs. Watchung Hills (3-1): Montgomery rallied to beat the Warriors, 21-14, last year with the help of two fourth-quarter interceptions by Carter McFadden. He has graduated, but brother Dylan still stars for the Cougars ar WR and DB. QB Chad Martini leads Watchung Hills.

Old Bridge (4-1) vs. Rahway (4-1): Old Bridge would be looking for continued strong defensive play from Evan Sobieski, Luke Maisonet and Giancarlo Cangro in an effort to slow a red-hot offense sparked by Rashon Bradford, Mekhi McFadden and Zaire Crutchfield.
Edison (3-2) vs. Old Bridge (4-1): Matt Yascko, Daniel Maurath and Malcolm Stansbury lead an Edison squad that has lost its two games, to Franklin and North Brunswick, by one point each. Versatile QB Owen Haughney and RB Lawrence Hunter pace the offense for Old Bridge.
Gov. Livingston (4-1) vs. Bound Brook (4-1): Running back Bryce Cobb and QB Patrick LePoidevin lead a Bound Brook squad that carries a three-game winning streak into Friday's game against Spotswood. This already has been a huge turnaround season for Gov. Livingston, which was 1-10 a year ago.
Elizabeth (0-3) vs. Westfield (0-2): This game was scheduled for last Friday, but Westfield was still under quarantine. Elizabeth had missed two games earlier this season because of a positive test result.
Dayton (1-2) vs. Roselle Park (2-3): This could shape up to be as competitive as last year's regular-season battle, won by Roselle Park, 22-19.
Dunellen (0-5) vs. Metuchen (0-4): Quarterback Stephen Michaliszyn steered Metuchen to an 18-12 win over Dunellen last year, and he is back to engineer the Bulldog offense. Running back Adem Sangirray sparks the offense for Dunellen.
Scotch Plains-Fanwood (1-2) vs. Plainfield (1-2): These teams were scheduled to play Friday, but Plainfield canceled out of caution after playing an opponent that had a player who had tested positive.
North Jersey Interscholastic Conference
Unlike the state's other conferences, there's no dreaming here.
The NJIC, made up of small-school teams in the Northeast corner of the state, intended to play out its season and will do just that.
What does that mean? The NJIC has run a conference championship format since 2016 by pairing its four division winners in a championship bracket. Teams that don't win their division faces teams from other divisions based off their records in divisional play.
Although Week 6 games will affect crossover games, the conference's championship bracket was finalized a week ago. Park Ridge, Waldwick, Becton and Pompton Lakes will be playing for the NJIC championship in Weeks 7 and 8, and the league's other 24 teams will get crossover games.
The championship matchups look like this:
Park Ridge (4-0) at Becton (4-0)
Pompton Lakes (4-1) at Waldwick (3-0)
Winners meet in the championship, losers play for third
Please note: While Rutherford could still win a share of the Colonial Division title with a win over Waldwick on Sunday, Waldwick would win the tiebreaker, based on power points, to advance. Garfield would also win a share of the title but get edged in power points.
Similarly, Pompton Lakes won a three-way tiebreaker with Glen Rock and Hawthorne in the Liberty Division.
New this year: The NJIC created the Union Division in 2020 to help struggling teams play competitive games similar competition. The top four teams in the Union Division: 1-Emerson, 2-Elmwood Park, 3-Bogota, 4-Weehawken would play of their own division title while the bottom two -- Palisades Park and St. Mary (Ruth.) -- could be assigned crossover games with other divisions.
Shore Conference
Mater Dei (4-1) vs. Wall (4-0): Last season's 14-7 victory by Wall was one of finest games in the Shore Conference all season long. Barring upset losses in Week 6 by either team, this pairing will come to pass in the first week of the postseason. Wall should be the No. 1 seed and Mater Dei No. 4. As the game in 2019 did, a meeting in the two-week Shore Conference postseason would match Mater Dei's speed, size and athleticism against Wall's discipline and precision. Mater Dei was ranked No. 4 in the state by NJ.com at the time and Wall was No. 13. Not surprisingly, Wall's defense played a major role in the victory. A tipped interception from one Wall player to another set up two-yard TD run by Casey Larkin with 1:06 left. In the 2019 game, Wall limited Mater Dei's burly tailback Malik Ingram to 82 yards -- 11 in the second half. A key matchup in a 2020 will be Wall's splendid secondary -- led by Larkin and Logan Peters -- against Mater Dei's stable of thoroughbred wide receivers.
Donovan Catholic (5-0) vs. Red Bank Catholic (4-1): Barring an upset this weekend, the Griffins and Caseys will square off in Week 7. Donovan Catholic is likely to be the No. 2 seed and Red Bank Catholic No. 4. Despite its rapid rise to the top of the Shore Conference rankings under Dan Curcione, Donovan Catholic does not have a signature win in his tenure. Last season, RBC roughed up Donovan in a 27-16 victory in Toms River. Donovan was unable to match RBC's physicality a season ago. Donovan struggled to a 21-14 victory over Southern last week leading to questions regarding Donovan's ability to come up big in the post season. This game will match a high-powered Donovan offense against and smothering RBC defense. The Donovan offense is paced by explosive RB Jahdir Loftland (898 yards rushing, 12 TDs). RBC has managed to shut down some of the best offenses in the Shore Conference in 2020. It held Mater Dei to three points, Rumson-Fair Haven to 14.
Southern (3-2) vs. Colts Neck (6-0): This game would be a desirable matchup featuring the two most fearsome, workhorse running backs in the Shore Conference -- Jaiden Brown of Southern and Joe Barsky of Colts Neck. The good news, this pairing is likely to become reality in either the first or second week of the two-week, two-game Shore Conference postseason. Barsky is averaging 7.3 yards per carry and 182.3 yards per game. He has 916 yards and 17 TDs. Brown has 760 yards and averages 152 yards per game.
Freehold Borough (4-1) vs. Rumson-Fair Haven (3-2): Another potential pairing in the Shore Conference postseason, this would be interesting game matching the quick-strike offense of Freehold Borough against clock-gobbling Rumson-Fair Haven. Freehold Borough features two of the most-exciting players in the Shore Conference in QB Sha'Kim Shuler who has over 1,600 combined yards of rushing and passing yardage and big-play WR Yah-Sin Calhoun. Rumson-Fair Haven counters with workhorse running John Volker, who has over 700 yards rushing.
Holmdel (4-1) vs. Lacey (4-1): Depending on how the Shore Conference pairings shake out, this would be an interesting game between two teams that love to run the football. Lacey has won four-straight since a shocking, opening day loss to Manchester Township, 12-3. Lacey has allowed seven points or less in three of its last four games with a pair of shutouts. On the offensive side, Lacey features a solid, junior QB in Noah Brunatti, who can run and throw. Holmdel is a downhill-running option team. Holmdel averages 13.8 passing yards per game. It has three, productive running backs in junior Jaden Gallo (801 yards, 12 TDs), Christian Donnelly (373 yards, 2 TDs) and AJ DeCicco (353 yards, 5 TDs). Holmdel's only loss came in Week 4 to St. John Vianney, 24-7.
Manasquan (3-2) vs. St. John Vianney (3-2): The pairing would again depending on how the pods come together in the Shore Conference. It would be a fun game if nothing else. Both teams have versatile offenses that mix in run and pass. Don't let Manasquan's ineffectiveness against rival Wall last weekend fool you, when matched against a team with similar size and strength up front, Manasquan can throw it down the field with QB Brad Patten and run it with RBs Jahmier Howard and Cole Kozlowski. SJV dropped a 17-10 decision to Ocean Township last week. SJV has a dual-threat QB in sophomore Antonio Rosato (535 passing, 145 rushing yards) and junior RB Pete Pezzullo (207 yards rushing).
Super Football Conference
What we know comes down to this: The biggest conference in the country will use its size, geography and differences in group sizes to make as many interesting matchups as possible, but several factors like travel, make-up games and division titles could take precedent.
Westwood athletic director Dan Vivino, the SFC's scheduler, said the pairings will "look a lot closer to a two-week schedule than a four-team bracket," and like we've seen all year, it will take flexibility, for things to fall into place.
Of course, another major storyline in the SFC remains what happens with the non-public powers? Do make-up games take precedent or will a top pod of the top-ranked teams, regardless of travel, take precedent? One thing is for sure: Saturday's game between No. 1 St. Peter's Prep (4-0) and No. 2 Bergen Catholic (4-0), two nationally ranked teams in every major poll, will be as close to a championship game as we'll get in 2020.
Elsewhere, some other make-up games with league title implications include:
Randolph (4-0) vs. Mount Olive (4-1): If Randolph defeats West Morris Friday, this will be its chance to claim the Freedom Blue division title. This game was supposed to be played Week 1 before its cancellation but this is a marquee matchup with two tough running teams that still has the ability to air it out on the edges.
Tenafly (5-0) vs. Memorial (3-0): The Ivy divisions were installed to give struggling teams a chance to win and, even in a shortened season, it's been a success. But who is the top team among the divisions? There are only two unbeaten teams remaining in Tenafly (Ivy White leader) and Memorial (Ivy Red leader) so this could act as an Ivy championship game.
Morris Hills (4-0) vs. Parsippany Hills (4-1): This was supposed to be a battle of unbeaten teams before Morris Hills was forced to shut down. This is a matchup that will determine the Patriot White division with West Essex, another unbeaten team, most likely out of the picture with several missed games.
Nutley (4-0) vs. West Essex (2-0): This game was scheduled for Oct. 10, but was canceled because West Essex was quarantining. West Essex roughed up the Maroon Raiders, 42-6, last year, though no doubt would expect a much tougher battle this time. Senior Chris Bell and juniors Joseph Visaggio and Robert Lasher spark the offense for West Essex. Junior Matthew Harbison and seniors Gennaro Longobardi and Johnny Coppola pace Nutley.
Boonton (5-0) vs. Hanover Park (2-1): Two offenses that can score at will? Sign us up. Boonton has leaned on its triple option attack to a ton of success as it has scored over 30 points in each of its last four games while Hanover Park, which was forced to shut down earlier in the season, proved how dangerous its offense can be by scoring 41 points against a Mountain Lakes team that had not allowed more than 14 points all season.
Mahwah (4-0) vs. Ramsey (4-0): This game would not only be for a divisional title, but it would likely be the first close game either team has played all season long. Both of these Bergen County schools have ripped through their competition, some of which has been all over the state. Ramsey has played Point Pleasant Boro, Teaneck and Kittatinny.
Wayne Hills (5-0) vs. Northern Highlands (2-1): This was a state-ranked showdown set to decide a league title before it got called off due to an outbreak at Northern Highlands. The winner of this game would win the Freedom Division title, one of the SFC's top divisions. Wayne Hills, ranked No. 16 in the NJ.com Top 20, would win the title outright and continue to climb the state rankings while Highlands would force a title split.
West Side (4-1) vs. West Orange (4-1): West Side is Group 3 and West Orange Group 5, yet both rosters are graced with Division 1 talent, such as Rutgers-bound Khayri Banton (LB) and Shaquan Loyal (CB) and Stanford commit Jayson Raines, one of several dangerous receivers for West Orange.
Irvington (4-1) vs. East Orange (4-1): This would be the first meeting between these Essex County schools since 2011, though that one (a 52-0 East Orange win) was way more forgettable than this would be. East Orange would look to QB Raeden Oliver and running backs Al-Shadee Salaam and Damon Phillips to steer the attack. Nebraska commit Mikai Gbayor, Omar Jackson and Zaire Angoy anchor an Irvington defense that allows just 8.8 ppg.
West Jersey Football League
The WJFL is not crowning division champions and teams aren't playing for sectional titles in 2020.
But what if it could crown an unofficial champion?
League commissioner Derryk Sellers wants to create a "championship" pod that would include the four best teams in South Jersey. The next 12 best teams would be placed in three additional pods.
These matchups would be based on Group size, meaning Groups 1 and 2 would be combined, while 4 and 5 would be together. Group 3 schools could play in either grouping.
While NJ.com's WJFL rankings have Lenape at No. 1, the Indians can no longer factor into the conversation after being shut down for two weeks due to a positive COVID test in the school.
So as things stand right now, here's our championship pod: Cherokee, Williamstown, Winslow and the winner of Friday's game between Holy Spirit and St. Augustine. All five teams are ranked in the NJ.com statewide Top 20.
It's possible a first-round rematch of Williamstown and St. Augustine would be avoided with the teams only playing if they both won or lost their first game.
And one twist in the idea? If St. Augustine wins the pod, it then plays Lenape on Thanksgiving. A Lenape win would put No. 1 in doubt again.
