2009 Group 1 Rankings - Final

Until they lose, the defending Group Champions are always ranked #1. The team most likely to take over the championship will be #2. Since PG beat Glassboro, they are ranked #1 and Glassboro is #2 and still favored to win championship.

Top contenders to take the championship away from Glassboro = Woodbury, Paulsboro and Penns Grove

I am not listing the computer rankings as I think that their bogusness has been well proven. I may add at the end of the season.

Fina

1. Woodbury (11-1) - holds top spot with 2 wins over #2 and one win over #3 - 3rd seed with 118

2. Paulsboro (9-2) - bigger win over #4 than PG had, but lost by more to #1, so I add up the scores 9using the most recent game against Woodbury and the game against Glassboro and come up with Paulsboro 35-14 and PG 30-31 - 4th seed with 105

3. Penns Grove (9-2) - tough playoff loss - 2nd seed in playoffs - 121 power points

4. Glassboro (9-2) – Defending Group 1 South Champions - ran out of stream! - 1st seed with 135 power points

5. Pennsville (7-3) - 6th seed with 89

6. Schalick (7-3) - 7th seed with 88

7. Haddon Heights (6-4) - 5th seed with 97

8. Florence (6-4) - 6th seed in Central - 88

15. Lindenwold (2-8) - 56 - drops with consolation loss

16. Pitman (4-6) - both wins are over Wildwood! - 35

17. Clayton (3-4) - 28 - beat Salem and Riverside but short on power points due to number of games played

18. Salem (2-8) - 45

19. New Egypt (2-8) - 34

20. Gateway (0-10) - 27

21. Riverside (0-10) - 19

Playoffs:

Palmyra at Glassboro - minor problem for the BORO, but came on strong in 2nd half!

Schalick at Penns Grove - re-matches are always scary, But Schalick came in believing in themselves - PG won but Schalick almost revenged the first round match-up of 2006

Pennsville at Woodbury - exciting match-up won by Woodbury but they almost let PV come onto their field to win just like PG did last year!

Haddon Heights at Paulsboro - a re-match and very few beat Paulsboro at Paulsboro in the playoffs and that is how it came out!

2nd round:

Paulsboro at Glassboro - Paulsboro played their best game in 3 years and Glassboro played their worst game in 3 years as Glasboro ran out of steam late in the season and Paulsboro improved as the season progressed.

Woodbury at Penns Grove - it was a great game, but Woodbury turned the tables on last year's outcome!

So it was an all Colonial final after an all Tri-County the year before and after one from each for the previous 5 years!

Final:

Paulsboro at Woodbury - I favored Paulsboro to avenge their ealier loss, but that was not to be!

Woodbury shut down Paulsboro and dominated the game!

Woodbury 16, Paulsboro 0

Note to the fans: Why be such chumps in the bad weather? You have stood (or sat) in worse weather before!!!! AND the players had to deal with it with no clothing options!
