Vote: Who should be High School on SI’s New Jersey Football Player of the Week? (9/10/2024)
New Jersey high school football is back and so begins our Player of the Week polls for the state. Teams in the preseason showcased what they’ve got heading into Week 2 of the regular season.
As such, we have eight athletes nominated this week for the SBLive’s New Jersey Football Player of the Week award from September 5-7, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the top athlete selected.
Congratulations to last wee’s winner: Adam Shaw, Pascack Valley
Shaw, a dual-threat quarterback, was the catalyst in the team’s 31-14 victory over Rancocas Valley. The junior accounted for 233 yards and two touchdowns.
SBLive voting polls are intended to be a fun way to create fan engagement and express support for your favorite high school athletes and teams. Unless expressly noted, there are no awards for winning the voting. Our primary focus is to highlight the abilities and accomplishments of all the athletes and teams included in our poll. You can vote as often as you wish and are encouraged to share our polls with others. The use of voting bots and other forms of automated voting are not allowed. Individuals will be removed from the poll if any form of automated voting can be verified. – SBLive Sports
Voting closes at 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Sep. 15th. The winner will be announced in the following week’s poll. Here are this week’s nominees:
The Holmdel quarterback made numerous plays with his arm and legs in the Hornets’ 42-10 win over Ocean Township. Cannon accounted for 299 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns.
Playing on the road in Ohio against Massillon Washington, the 2026 running back was the workhorse the entire night. Calhoun carried the ball an astounding 43 times for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-21 win.
One of the top rushing performances in the Garden State in Week 2 came from Beeler, who rushed for 157 yards on 25 carries and scored three touchdowns in a 28-7 win over Pennsauken.
In Camden’s 30-0 victory over Kingsway, Braxton was making plenty of plays on offense. The running rushed for 142 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown. Also added 17 yards receiving and a score.
Butler had a strong game in Butler’s 47-0 victory over Hawthorne last week. The quarterback completed 9-of-13 passes for 116 yards and three touchdowns.
DePaul Catholic’s offense was rolling behind a strong rushing effort from James. The running ran for 173 yards on 35 attempts and scored a touchdown in a 28-17 win over Our Lady of Good Counsel (Maryland).
Brick Memorial’s defense was up to the task of shutting down Brick Township’s offense in a 37-6 victory and Tallmadge led the way with a team-high 12 tackles and two went for a loss.
Despite Cardone’s performance coming in a 42-33 loss to Howell, the quarterback completed 18-of-28 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns.

South Jersey Schools Plan for Cellphone Ban
Statewide NJ cellphone ban begins; South Jersey schools pilot lockers, pouches & backpacks.
“This sucks. There is no other way to explain it. I joined a club. A club that shouldn’t exist. The worst club that a parent could ever be a part of. The club where I have to bury my child,” Mike Shevlin said on Facebook after his 3-year old son tragically died after drowning in the family pool.
The devastating death of Elijah Shevlin in Washington Township has rocked the community. On June 27, Elijah was found unresponsive by his parents in the family pool. He died on July 3.
According to Mike Shevlin’s page, the father started compressions immediately after finding his son face down and motionless in the pool.
First responders arrived quickly, and Elijah was transferred to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. His brain had swollen to the point that nothing could be done to save his life.
Elijah’s mother, Sandra Shevlin, posted on Facebook, describing her son as an angel.
“I’m forever broken. I love you with all my heart, my sweet angel boy. You were too good for this earth,” she said.
Elijah is survived by his parents and his two siblings, his twin Ella and 6-year-old Mickey. The family decided on organ donation.
“Somewhere in this country, a phone is about to ring. On one end of the phone is a doctor. And on the other end is a parent who’s going to hear that an organ is waiting to save their child,” Mike said on Facebook. “And knowing that a few other Dads out there never have to feel the pain I feel can bring me some closure.”
Peter Del Borrello III, Washington Township Council president, sent out a statement to the community calling for strength and support for the family.
“Together, let us wrap out arms around them and remind them that an entire community stands beside them. This is our opportunity to show Mike, Sandi, Ella, and Mickey that they have an entire town behind them – not just today, but in the difficult days, weeks, and months ahead.”
Elijah’s parents have spent their lives dedicated to the Washington Township community. Mike Shevlin is a veteran and police officer for the Camden County Police Department. Sandi Shevlin is a first-grade elementary school teacher.
Elijah’s family has opened a GoFundMe to support the family during these difficult times and has raised over $65,000 in donations.
Community members have also organized a lemonade and baked goods stand, with all proceeds going to the family. The stand will be open on July 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 30 Longwood Drive in Sicklerville.
