Other interesting games:

New Egypt 24, Robinsville 0 – trying for 3rd seed

Florence 35, Burlington City 0 – showdown with New Egypt in 2 weeks, looks like 9 teams contending for Central Group 1 playoffs

Delran 28, Riverside 18 – close game for a team with playoff aspirations against winless team

Bridgeton 29, Middle Twp. 6 – 4-2 with little hope of playoffs

Oakcrest 21, Ocean City 0 – trying for 6

Burlington Twp. 27, Hopewell 10 – a top 3 seed in Central Group 3

Mainland 31, Buena 0 – outside shot at playoffs

Atlantic City 30, Vineland 16 – may not win another game and should miss playoffs

Rancocas Valley 39, Lawrence 18 – can possibly make surge to playoffs if they win next 2 games.

My top 5 for each public group:

2. Pennsauken (5-1) - I am moving them down just 1 slot

Group 1:

I’ll set up a showdown.

2. Glassboro (5-1) - getting it together – showdown with Pennsville for #1 seed next week – 5 of 8 opponents heading to playoffs.

3. Paulsboro (5-1)

4. Penns Grove (4-2) - tough out-of-state game keeps them above some one loss teams, 74-22 vs. Glassboro’s 86-38 against common opponent’s since game #1, but lost one of those games.

5. Haddon Heights (5-1)

Possible playoff teams:

New Egypt (5-1) and Florence (5-1) will meet in game 8 and both should be 6-1 going in

Salem (4-2) and Schalick (3-3) will meet in game 8 and both should be 4-3 going in

Woodbury (3-3) has a shot at 4-4

1. St. Joseph's (6-0)

2. Camden Catholic (6-0)

3. Holy Spirit (3-3) - one loss was forfeit

4. Holy Cross (4-2)
