This weeks significant/interesting games:
The undefeated:
Cherokee 19, Seneca 17 – Cherokee survives and Seneca almost beat them again.
Holy Spirit 33, Atlantic City 18 - Spirit showed me why I should rank them on top and I’ll be moving them back to #1. I am also working on my own rating system (similar to power points) and no matter how I play with it, they end up on top.
West Deptford 56, Paulsboro 0 –although Paulsboro had 15 suspended players, this was still and overwhelming win. WD is an excellent team!
The one loss teams:
Delsea has no Thanksgiving game
St. Joe’s 20, Hammonton 8 – game tied going into the 4th!
Haddonfield 27, Haddon Heights 0 as they prepare for the finals
Penns Grove 44, Pennsville 7 - a lot of controversy about the last TD, but no one seems to want to point out that PV came off of a tough game 4 days earlier, while PG was well rested. I still think that PG would have won had they both played last week, but it would have been closer.
Willingboro 35 Holy Cross 34 – OT – Great game!
Two loss teams:
Oakcrest 14, Absegami 13 – Oakcrest survives this week by winning their 8th in a row and heads to the finals.
Glassboro 19, Deptford 7 – Easy first half led to less enthusiasm in the second half as the BORO looks ahead to playing another BORO
Paul VI 13, Camden Catholic 0 – Paul VI had no plans to loss 3 in a row and took a 0-0 after 3 quarters game and came out to win in the 4th.
Woodbury 61, Gateway 0 - so Woodbury gets added to my bad boy list of 60+ point winners by playing a team that was just not on their level. I hope Gateway can rebound a little next year.
Holy Cross mentioned above
Paulsboro mentioned above
Pennsville mentioned above
3 loss teams:
Williamstown 47, Washington Twp. 21 – Williamstown ends on a positive note
Moorestown did not have a T-Day game
Lower Cape May 30, Middle Twp. 6 – although they did not beat any really good teams, LCM has to be happy with the improvement
The 3 loss teams not to have made my rankings:
Cumberland 27, Schalick 23
New Egypt 13, Bordentown 7
Palmyra 42, Burlington City 21
4 loss teams:
Hammonton mentioned above
Winslow Twp. 27, Eastern 7 – the best of the 4 loss teams and will be ranked above the 3 loss teams unless Hammonton wins tomorrow.
Bishop Eustace 12, Pennsauken 7 – Pennsauken drops to 4 losses and BE gets their 4th win
Atlantic City mentioned above
Burlington Twp. did not have a T-day game
4 loss teams not to have made my rankings:
Schalick mentioned above
Florence 60, Riverside 6
Collingswood 39, Sterling 0
Kingsway 40, Clearview 29
Camden 26, Woodrow Wilson 20 – both teams end with 4 losses
Shawnee 31, Lenape 14
Millville 28, Vineland 0 – as Millville ends up with 4 losses and Vineland with 5
Rancocas Valley 24, Pemberton 6
5 loss teams:
Mainland 17, Egg Harbor Twp. 0 as EHT ends up 6-5 (Mainland without forfeits would have been 7-3 instead of 3-7)
Camden Catholic mentioned above:
Vineland mentioned above
Triton 36, Timber Creek 14 - as TC drops to 5 losses
Delran 18, Cinnaminson 15 – as both teams end up 5-5
Mainland 23, Bridgeton 7 – as Bridgeton ends up 4-5
Salem 14, Woodstown 8
Audubon 54, Haddon Twp. 7
Pitman 43, Clayton 12 – an example of a team that is happy to be 5-5
My top 5 for each public group: I have started a rating points system which will be somewhat explained as to how I use it when I post the overall rankings. Possible wildcards (no more than 2 per Group) have higher ratings points than at least one top 5 from another Group. The one with the highest rating will get the wildcard.
(after Thursday 11/25)
Group 4: The top 2 will still be the top2 no matter who wins in the finals
1. Cherokee (11-0)
2. Oakcrest (9-2)
3. Atlantic City (7-4)
4. Egg Harbor Township (6-5)
5. Williamstown (7-3)
Possible wildcards:
Millville (6-4)
Shawnee (6-4)
Group 3: This will not change regardless of the finals
1. Delsea (10-1)
2. Hammonton (7-4)
3. Winslow Twp. (7-4)
4. Moorestown (7-3)
5. Cumberland (7-3)
Possible wildcards:
Kingsway (6-4)
Woodrow Wilson (6-4)
Lacey Twp. is favored to win the playoffs.
Group 2: The top 2 and the top 2 no matter who wins in finals
1. West Deptford (10-0) - plays Friday night
2. Haddonfield (10-1)
3. Willingboro (9-1)
4. Camden (6-4) - win over Glassboro puts them above LCM, but Group belongs to the top 3 and these 2 will be at the bottom of my overall Top 26.
5. Lower Cape May (7-3)
Group 1: Any of the top 3 could end up my final #1
1. Glassboro (9-2) – bad decision on 4th down cost them game against Group 2 playoff team – one win against a top 4 seed – nice 1st round win and exciting 2nd round come from behind win
2. Penns Grove (8-1) - only loss to Glassboro (by 1 point) and has hammered everybody since – no wins against a top 4 seed – best team not in playoffs – remember that the blowouts are due to not having enough players to put in 3rd string. Very good team with limited number of players – loss to NJSIAA rules hurts – Salem County Champion!
3. Paulsboro (9-2)
4. Woodbury (9-2)
5. Pennsville (9-2)
New Egypt (8-3) just would not be able to hang with the above teams, but they were in the Central semi-finals.
Glassboro and Paulsboro avenged regular season losses and will meet in finals.
Non-Publics (all together): This will not change regardless of the finals
1. Holy Spirit (11-0)
2. St. Joseph's (9-1)
3. Paul VI (8-2)
4. Holy Cross (8-2)
5. Camden Catholic (5-5)
Gloucester Catholic, St. Augustine and Bishop Eustace do not seem to be able to contend for these rankings.
St. Joe’s and Holy Spirit survive to head to different finals – will be easier for St. Joe’s!
Holy Spirit should have an interesting final against St. Joe’s of Montvale (which easily handled CC in opening round)

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

So, Gloucester County is 10-3

Sterling 26, Middle Twp. 6
Lakewood 42, Pleasantville 14

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

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)

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)

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)

Update - 11/07/10
This weeks significant/interesting games:
Cherokee 33, Cherry Hill West 14 – another solid win
Holy Spirit 34, St. Augustine 7 – also a solid win
Lenape 35, Paul VI 20 – ouch: this hurts them, but consider that they beat Winslow and Moorestown
Holy Cross 41, Bordentown 0 – HC is top seed in Non-Public Group 2/1 and gets a bye!
Winslow Twp. 34, Williamstown 27 – Williamstown’s defense shows some weakness but Winslow has beaten both Williamstown and Shawnee – hard to figure out Winslow with losses to Clearview and Pennsauken both of which lost to Township and Shawnee.
West Deptford 42, Overbrook 8 – top seed in Group 2 – will weak schedule hurt them as it did last year, but they were impressive against Woodbury
Willingboro 40, Northern Burlington 11 – an “ok” win
Delsea 38, Deptford 17 – Deptford scores first and then later controls the 4th quarter All Delsea in-between!
Moorestown 20, Camden Catholic 13 – CC led at the half
Woodbury 22, Collingswood 14 – can’t figure Collingswood out as they played this closer than expected
That covers my previous top 10 teams
Hammonton 7, Absegami 3 – much closer than expected as Hammonton had to score in the 4th to win
Millville 26, Atlantic City 6 – AC loses 2 in a row
Pennsville 37, Gloucester Catholic 20 – PV gets their only taste outside of Group 1 – trailed 14-7 after 1st, but came on strong in 2nd.
Shawnee 35, Washington Twp. 34 – much closer than expected
St. Joe’s 20, EHT 7 – another very good showing for SJ and they will move up again as EHT slips down
Notre Dame 27, Burlington Twp. 7 – BT runs into some serious competition!
Camden 9, Glassboro 7 - Bulldogs lose again on the road and without the James brothers – should have won this game anyway, but going for it on 4th and failing cost them the game – a punt would have sealed a victory!
Penns Grove 60, Pitman 0 – despite 1st game loss to Glassboro, they manhandled all of the common opponents!
Oakcrest - bye
Haddonfield 1, Gateway 0 - forfeit
Paulsboro 21, Lindenwold 6 – Lindenwold scored first
Camden Catholic 21, Bishop Eustace 7 – no surprise here, but it was 7-7 at the half
Cinnaminson - bye
Woodrow Wilson 25, Triton 15 – WW beats another weak team and trailed at the half
Lower Cape May 44, Pleasantville 25 – LCM heading towards playoff slot, but P’ville is winless and LCM has no impressive wins!
Cumberland 24, Clearview 7 – but Cumberland still fails to make playoffs!
Pennsauken 34, Eastern 7 – Pennsauken rebounds, but do I bring them back into the rankings?
Hamilton 24, Rancocas Valley 23 – RV loses 2 close ones in a row, but still makes playoffs in Central Group 4
My top 5 for each public group: Remember that I keep last year's top teams where they left off unless they are unimpressive
(after Saturday 11/06)
Group 4: Top 3 belong to WJFL
1. Cherokee (8-0)
2. Williamstown (6-2)
3. Shawnee (5-3)
4. Oakcrest (6-2) - looks solid for playoffs
5. Atlantic City (6-2) – just can’t see them ahead of Shawnee
Possible wildcards:
Egg Harbor Township (5-3)
Millville (5-3) – beat AC lost to EHT which lost to AC!
Absegami also makes playoffs but only because of forfeit win and kicks Ocean County teams out of South playoffs!
Rancocas Valley (5-2) – both losses are to teams that we are not familiar with
Pennsauken (5-2) - losses to Shawnee and Washington Township, but beat Winslow (Central Jersey for playoffs)
TRN from Ocean County and EHT should join this group for playoffs. Maybe Mainland or Southern or who knows whom too?
Cherokee should cruise through playoffs!
Group 3: toughest Group to rank!
1. Delsea (8-1)
2. Moorestown (6-2) losses are to Top Ten teams – won but not by big margin so they are #2 - Hammonton has higher playoff seed
3. Hammonton (6-2) - losses to Holy Spirit and EHT
4. Winslow Twp. (5-3) – wins when they shouldn’t and lose whent hey shouldn’t – tough team to figure out
5. Burlington Twp. (6-2) - losses are to undefeated teams
Woodrow Wilson (6-2) – only one impressive win and 2 losses are to teams 8 and 9 in power points
Timber Creek (5-3) also under consideration for wildcard – 8th seed and beat WW
Cumberland (5-3) nice win over Clearview, but not enough power points
Kingsway (4-4) – losses are all to very tough teams – beat Cumberland which beat WW – must depend upon residuals and is unlikely for playoffs
Seneca (4-4) – must depend upon residuals and is unlikely for playoffs
Delsea beat TC and Cumberland which both beat WW which beat Delsea. TC also lost to Moorestown
Lacey Twp. will be top seed for playoffs and will be favored to beat all these teams.
Group 2:
1. West Deptford (8-0)
2. Willingboro (8-0) - but should be 1st seed in playoffs
3. Haddonfield (7-1)
4. Camden (5-3) - win over Glassboro puts them above LCM
5. Lower Cape May (6-2) – welcome to the rankings and the playoffs!
Cinnaminson (5-3) has only lost to ranked teams and it is tough to leave them out of rankings, but they are in the playoffs and could move back up as others also lose in first round
2 Ocean County teams will be in playoffs.
Look for WD and W’boro to meet in finals with WD winning on home field.
Look for Barnegat to possibly knock off LCM in round 1
Group 1:
1. Woodbury (7-1) – only loss to Group 2 team - wins against 2 teams in top 4 seedings for their Groups
2. Pennsville (8-0) - only undefeated team in Group – one win against a top 4 seed

5. Paulsboro (7-1) – big defeat to Woodbury has them at #6 – no wins against a top 4 seed
New Egypt (6-2), Palmyra (6-2) and Florence (5-3) just would not be able to hang with the above teams, but they are in the central playoffs.
Schalick, Audubon, Gloucester and Haddon Heights are also playoff bound
Glassboro should avenge loss to PV on home field and face a rested Woodbury in finals with Woodbury the highly favored winner of this group unless PG wins their case and changes everything.
Non-Publics (all together):
1. Holy Spirit (9-0)
2. Holy Cross (8-0)
3. St. Joseph's (7-1)

Look for St. Joe’s and Holy Cross to meet in finals on neutral field – should be very interesting game!
Paul VI should lose in 1st round as the competition is just too much in their group.
Holy Spirit should have an interesting final against St. Joe’s of Montvale (which should handle CC in opening round)

Holy Spirit 34, St. Augustine 7 – also a solid win
