2008 Finals Review

Group 2 Final:

West Deptford at Delsea - Delsea wins 17-14

West Deptford is a strong team and should win this game. Look for a lot of running by both teams. WD just has more overall speed and a playoff (and finals) experienced coaching staff.


Group 1 Final:

Penns Grove at Glassboro - Glassboro wins 28-8

2008 Tri-County Rankings

I always start off my rankings where they left off in the previous year and then move teams up or down based on performance: So, the top 3 are in the same spots as they ended last year.

These rankings are final.

I no longer will be listing the computer rankings as it has been shown that they are bogus.

One change this week (Delsea and PG)!

1. Glassboro (12-0) – defending Classic Division and Group 1 South Champions
last year #1

2. Williamstown (9-1)
last year #2

3. Gloucester Catholic (9-2)
last year #3

4. Delsea (8-3)
last year #5

5. Penns Grove (9-2)
last year #9

6. Cumberland (6-4)
last year #4

7. Clearview (6-4)
last year #6

8. Gloucester (6-4)
last year #8

9. Pennsville (6-4)
last year #10

10. Kingsway (3-7)
last year #8

11. Deptford (2-8)
last year #13

12. Schalick (4-6)
last year #7

13. Woodstown (3-7)
last year #14

14. Highland (1-9)
last year #12

15. Pitman (2-8)
last year #18

16. Salem (2-8)
last year #15

17. Clayton (1-8) - moves ahead of Wildwood based on upset of Pitman; Wildwood beat Clayton but when you look at the strenght of whom each team beat, then clayton gets the nod
last year #17

18. Wildwood (1-7)
last year #19


Last year’s #15, Overbrook, has changed conferences.

Week #11 - Playoffs! and T-Day preview

Delsea 39, Haddonfield 29

Immaculata 14, Gloucester Catholic 7

Glassboro 21, Paulsboro 13 - a great hard hitting game!

Penns Grove 14, Haddon Heights 0 - another hard hitting game!

Delsea will host West Deptford in the Group 2 finals.

Glassboro will host Penns Grove in the Group 1 finals. Thus, the Tri-County is guaranteed on champion.


BUT, Thanksgiving rivaries come first:


Kingsway at Clearview - Clearview should be favored, but Kingsway could pull the upset.

Williamstown at Delsea - Williamstown has been the stronger team all year. They will be rested and not looking ahead.

Deptford at Glassboro - BORO must not be caught looking ahead, but their 2nd team can probably handle deptford this year.

Gloucester at Gloucester Catholic - This should be a hard fought game and Gloucester could pull the upset. GC has to avoid being down after playoff loss.

Cumberland at Schalick - Cumberland should win this, but.........

Pennsville at Penns Grove - Grove cannot be caught looking ahead!

Woodstown at Salem - Woodies have palyed tougher competition all year, but Salem can win if they play their best game of the year.

Clayton at Pitman - Pitman should get revenge for last year's loss

Highland (bye)


My Stupid Picks later:

Wildwood (bye)
