Holy Spirit 42, Bishop Ahr 0 – a great win in the first round

Cherokee 35, Absegami 14 – compare to Holy Spirit’s 42-7 win over Gami

Holy Cross 41 – HC is top seed in Non-Public Group 2/1 and has a bye!

Delsea 38, Woodrow Wilson 0 – avenged their only loss with a big bang!!!!!

So far my top ten has survived although Paul VI has a tough road trip today and could fall.

Pennsville 27, Audubon 25 – PV gets a nice come from behind win and stays undefeated

Winslow Twp. 47, Moorestown 14 – Winslow beating good teams lately

Oakcrest 38, Williamstown 13 – My #17 easily handles my #13 and will grab that spot or higher

Atlantic City 32, Millville 24– AC avenges a loss after losing 2 in a row

Penns Grove - lost in court and is best team not in playoffs

Egg Harbor Twp. 22, Shawnee 7 – WJFL Group 4 showing weakness against CAL teams – WJFL has the best team, but CAL has the next 3 remaining in playoffs

St. Joe’s Montvale 42, Camden Catholic 20

Haddonfield 35, Manchester 6 – easy time for the Haddons

Glassboro 40, Gloucester 6 - Bulldogs roll off 40 straight points after falling behind 6-0 as if they got a wake-up call!

Paulsboro 21, Schalick 7 – Schalick kept it close

Barnegat 29, Lower Cape May 28 -and Barnegat advances in Group 2

Lacey Twp. 27, Timber Creek 6 – Delsea had beaten TC by 9 early in the season

North Brunswick 36, Pennsauken 33 – see saw battle with NB scoring last

Sayreville 53, Rancocas Valley 21

New Egypt 21, Florence 14 – NE avenges a loss and moves forward

Keyport 35, Palmyra 20 – move to central still did not help Pals in playoffs

Interesting consolations:

Gloucester County teams (not in Group 4) won all of their Friday consolations and only lost one on Saturday:

Deptford 20, Buena 17

Pitman 36, Lindenwold 20 – and consider that Pitman lost 60-0 last week to PG!

Gateway 37, Riverside 34 –and consider that Gateway had to forfeit last week!

Clearview 20, Triton 13

Kingsway 54, Pinelands 15 – and to think that Pinelands though they were unjustly left out of the playoffs

Haddon Twp 28, Clayton 6

Vineland 20, Washington Twp. 7 – as CAL shows more dominance over WJFL Group 4!

So, Gloucester County is 10-3

Woodstown 29, Maple Shade 6

Cumberland 34, Seneca 28 – old Tri-County wins 3 consolations and one playoff game against old Olympic-Burlco

Only old Tri-County teams to lose to a non Tri-Co team on Friday were Williamstown and Highland!

On Saturday Clayton (as expected) and Schalick lost.

Central Regional 21, Highland 20 – well Highland got close to a win

Gloucester Catholic 48 Cardinal McCarrick 8

Salem 33, Overbrook 22

Wildwood does not have a consolation
CAL gets mixed reviews:

St. Augustine 35, St. John Vianney 10

Mainland 20, Southern Regional 13

Brick Twp. 27, Ocean City 20

Sterling 26, Middle Twp. 6

Lakewood 42, Pleasantville 14

Bridgeton does not have a consolation

Collingswood 34, Cinnaminson 7

Burlington City 42, Point Pleasant Beach 39 – as both PPBs have bad nights

Bordentown 18, Voorhees 0 – Bordentown gets their 2nd win

Toms River North 31, Lenape 14 – another loss for old Burlco/Olympic Groups 3 and 4

Somerville 54, Northern Burlington 29 – ditto


So, this week against outside competition:

old Tri-County (18 teams) = 10-4 (2 teams played in-conference) with 2 byes

Colonial (12 teams) is 7-3 (2 teams played in-conference) (2-3 vs. Classic/Diamond; 5-0 against the rest)

CAL (16 teams) = 7-8 with 1 bye

Old Burlco/Olympic (33 teams) = 5-17 (10 teams played in-conference) with 1 bye

Gloucester County (13 teams) = 10-3

Salem County (5 teams) = 3-1 with 1 bye

Atlantic County (10 teams) = 7-3

Cumberland County (4 teams) = 2-1 with 1 bye

Camden County (23 teams) = 8-13 (2 teams played in-county)

Burlington County (19 teams) = 4-12 (2 teams played in-county) with 1 bye

Cape May County (4 teams) = 0-3 with 1 bye

I only cover 1 team outside these counties (New Egypt) and they won.

My top 5 for each public group:

(after Saturday 11/13)


Group 4:

1. Cherokee (9-0)

2. Oakcrest (7-2) – nice win over Williamstown

3. Atlantic City (7-2) – avenged last week’s loss

4. Egg Harbor Township (6-3)

5. Pennsauken (6-3) – played well against tough North Brunswick

Possible wildcards:

Williamstown (6-3)

Shawnee (5-4)

Millville (5-3)

Cherokee should cruise through playoffs!


Group 3: toughest Group to rank!

1. Delsea (9-1) – avenged their only loss!

2. Hammonton (7-2) - losses to Holy Spirit and EHT which are really nice teams

3. Winslow Twp. (6-3)

4. Moorestown (6-3)

5. Burlington Twp. (6-3) - should I move them down and move someone else up?

Possible wildcard:

Cumberland (6-3) nice win over Seneca and very improved since loss to Kingsway

Lacey Twp. will be top seed for playoffs and will be favored to beat all these teams.


Group 2:

1. West Deptford (9-0)

2. Willingboro (9-0)

3. Haddonfield (8-1)

4. Camden (5-4) - win over Glassboro puts them above LCM, but Group belongs to the top 3

5. Lower Cape May (6-3)

Look for WD and W’boro to meet in finals with WD winning on home field

Barnegat is a semi-finalist from Ocean County and plays WD next


Group 1:

1. Woodbury (8-1) – only loss to Group 2 team - wins against 2 teams in top 4 seedings for their Groups – closer first round game than expected

2. Pennsville (9-0) - only undefeated team in Group – one win against a top 4 seed – big scare in 1st round

3. Penns Grove (7-1) - only loss to Glassboro (by 1 point) and has hammered everybody since – no wins against a top 4 seed – best team not in playoffs

4. Glassboro (7-2) – bad decision on 4th down cost them game against Group 2 playoff team – one win against a top 4 seed – nice 1st round win

5. Paulsboro (8-1) – big defeat to Woodbury has them at #6 – no wins against a top 4 seed – beat Schalick by 14 compared to Glassboro beating them by 40 and PG beating them by 54

New Egypt (7-2) just would not be able to hang with the above teams, but they are in the Central semi-finals.

Glassboro hopes to avenge loss to PV on home field. Winner nust face a rested Woodbury in finals with Woodbury the highly favored winner of this group as PG lost their case and loses chance to prove themselves.


Non-Publics (all together):

1. Holy Spirit (9-0)

2. Holy Cross (8-0) - bye

3. St. Joseph's (7-1) - bye

4. Paul VI (7-1)

5. Camden Catholic (5-4)

Gloucester Catholic, St. Augustine and Bishop Eustace do not seem to be able to contend for these rankings.

Look for St. Joe’s and Holy Cross to meet in finals on neutral field – should be very interesting game!

Holy Spirit should have an interesting final against St. Joe’s of Montvale (which easily handled CC in opening round)
