Update: 11/21/10

This weeks significant/interesting games:

Group 4 Playoffs:

Cherokee 28, Egg Harbor Twp. 7 – Cherokee keeps rolling and is the only survivor form Burlington County

Oakcrest 31, Atlantic City 14 – Oakcrest keeps moving up and AC keeps moving down

Group 3 Playoffs:

Lacey Twp. 34, Winslow Twp. 14 – Winslow, the team of upsets cannot upset this team!

Delsea 16, Hammonton 14 – after a missed 2 point attempt almost cost them the game, a FG wins it for Delsea.

Group 2 Playoffs:

West Deptford 56, Barnegat 7 – WD just too much for Barnegat – Barnegat probably gaining a great dislike for trips to Gloucester County!

Haddonfield 38, Willingboro 27 – 3 straight scores in 2nd half wins it for the Haddons and another Burlington County team fall to a Colonial.

Group 1 Playoffs:

Paulsboro 10, Woodbury 0 – everyone had Woodbury winning this one, but the Prideboro showed their pride and pulled the second round upset for the second year in a row.

Glassboro 27, Pennsville 21 – 2 OTs – PV showed how tough they are, but Glassboro finally wakes up in the second half and advances

Non- Public Playoffs:

Holy Spirit 34, Pope John XXIII 27 – Holy Spirit was down 27-20 heading into the 4th

St, Joe’s 50, St. Anthony 7 – total domination by St. Joe’s as no one in this group can match up with them

St. Mary-Rutherford 32, Holy Cross 22 – another Burlington County team falls to outside competition


So, this week and last week against outside competition:

old Tri-County (18 teams) = 11-4 (2 teams played in-conference last week and 2 this week) with 2 byes last week

Colonial (12 teams) is 8-3 (2 teams played in-conference last week and same this week) (2-3 vs. Classic/Diamond)

CAL (16 teams) = 9-10 with 1 bye last week (2 teams played in-conference this week)

Old Burlco/Olympic (33 teams) = 6-20 (10 teams played in-conference) with 1 bye last week

Gloucester County (13 teams) = 10-3 last week and 2-0 this week

Salem County (5 teams) = 3-1 with 1 bye last week and 0-1 this week

Atlantic County (10 teams) = 7-3 last week and 2-2 this week

Cumberland County (4 teams) = 2-1 with 1 bye last week with no games this week

Camden County (23 teams) = 8-13 (2 teams played in-county) last week and 1-1 this week

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

Cape May County (4 teams) = 0-3 with 1 bye last week with no games this week

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


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 11/20)

Group 4:

1. Cherokee (10-0)

2. Oakcrest (8-2) – nice wins in playoffs

3. Pennsauken (6-3) – played well against tough New Brunswick in 1st round

4. Atlantic City (7-3) – disappointing 2nd half of season after big start

5. Egg Harbor Township (6-4)

Possible wildcard:

Williamstown (6-3)

Cherokee should cruise through playoffs!


Group 3:

1. Delsea (10-1) – avenged their only loss!

2. Hammonton (7-3) - losses to Holy Spirit and EHT which are really nice teams

3. Winslow Twp. (6-4)

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. is the top seed for playoff and will be favored to win final.

Group 2:

1. West Deptford (10-0)

2. Haddonfield (9-1)

3. Willingboro (9-1)

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

5. Lower Cape May (6-3)


Group 1: Big shuffle this week

1. Glassboro (8-2) – 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 (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

3. Pennsville (9-1) - only undefeated team in Group – one win against a top 4 seed – big scare in 1st round nad tough loss in second round

4. Paulsboro (9-1) – beat Schalick by 14 compared to Glassboro beating them by 40 and PG beating them by 54

5. Woodbury (8-2) – only loss to Group 2 team - wins against 2 teams in top 4 seedings for their Groups – closer first round game than expected – drops to 5th after poor showing in playoffs

New Egypt (7-3) just would not be able to hang with the above teams, but they are in the Central semi-finals.

Glassboro and Paulsboro avenged regular season losses and will meet in finals.


Non-Publics (all together):

1. Holy Spirit (10-0)

2. St. Joseph's (8-1)

3. Paul VI (7-2)

4. Holy Cross (8-1) - weak schedule showed itself in playoffs

5. Camden Catholic (5-4)

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 of Montvale (which easily handled CC in opening round)
