Here's a closer look at three South Jersey football games on Saturday, with predictions.

Washington Township (1-5) at Cherry Hill East (1-4), 11 a.m. The host Cougars are riding high after snapping a 14-game losing streak last Saturday with a 41-28 win over Seneca.

Senior Brandon Stern leads Cherry Hill East. He has passed for 502 yards and four touchdowns and run for 383 yards and six touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Vinny Guckin has made 23 catches for 309 yards.

Washington Township has a top running back in junior Rich Stanzione.

Pick: Cherry Hill East, 27-20.

No. 20 Bishop Eustace (5-0) at No. 5 Camden (6-0), noon. The host Panthers can clinch a share of first place in the WJFL Royal Division with a victory.

Bishop Eustace's visit to Farnham Park will mark the third weekend in a row in which Camden has hosted an undefeated team. The Panthers beat Camden Catholic and Glassboro in the last two games.

Camden is led by senior Khalil Williams, who has 20 touchdown passes this season and 75 in his career.

Bishop Eustace has a sturdy defense led by linebacker Roy Hansen and a top all-purpose player in senior Vinny Papale.

Pick: Camden, 27-14.

Palmyra (4-1) at Riverside (4-2), 1:30. The host Rams are one of the surprise teams of the season, as they were 0-10 in 2013.

Riverside has rallied behind first-year coach Dan Harris as well as senior running back Jordan Harrold.

Palmyra has won three in a row, scoring a total of 130 points, behind junior quarterback Max Smyth and junior wide receiver Kelvin Harmon.

Pick: Palmyra, 34-20.
