SOUTH GROUP 4
First-round games: 8-
Absegami (Galloway) at 1-
Cherokee (Marlton), Friday, 7 p.m.
5-
Shawnee (Medford) at 4-
Egg Harbor Township (Egg Harbor Township), Friday, 7 p.m.
6-
Millville at 3-
Atlantic City, Friday, 7 p.m.
7-
Oakcrest (Mays Landing) at 2-
Williamstown, Friday, 7 p.m.
Best
first-round matchup: 6-Millville at 3-Atlantic City. Millville beat
Atlantic City last Friday, 26-6, but AC owns wins over bracket-mates
Absegami and Egg Harbor. Which version of the Vikings shows up here?
Dark
horse: Despite having the most losses in the bracket, perhaps
Millville's win over Atlantic City could spark a run to the title game.
Player to watch: Ben Martin, Absegami
Championship game: 1-Cherokee vs. 6-Millville
Winner: 1-Cherokee
SOUTH GROUP 3
First-round games: 8-
Timber Creek Regional (Erial) at 1-
Lacey Township (Lanoka Harbor), Saturday, 1 p.m.
5-
Moorestown
at 4-
Winslow Township (Atco)., Saturday, 1 p.m.
6-
Burlington Township at 3-
Hammonton,
Friday, 7 p.m.
7-
Woodrow Wilson (Camden) at 2-
Delsea (Franklinville), Friday, 7 p.m.
Best first-round
matchup: 7-Woodrow Wilson at 2-Delsea. A 2009 first-round matchup and
another regular-season rematch, we are curious if Woodrow Wilson could
repeat its performance from when it beat two-time defending sectional
champion Delsea on the road on Oct. 23, 41-21, in Franklinville.
Dark
horses: Lacey is a big favorite in this bracket, but South
Carolina-recruit
Damiere Byrd will be the best player the Lions defend
this season. Woodrow Wilson is capable of reaching the final.
Player to watch: Bill Belton, Winslow Township
Championship game: 1-Lacey vs. 6-Millville
Winner: 1-Cherokee
SOUTH GROUP 2
First-round games: 8-
Point Pleasant Boro at 1-
West Deptford (Westville), Friday, 7 p.m.
5-
Barnegat at 4-
Lower Cape May, Saturday, 1 p.m.
6-
Manchester Township (Lakehurst) at
3-
Haddonfield, Friday, 7 p.m.
7-
Camden at 2-
Willingboro, Friday, 7 p.m.
Best
first-round matchup: 6-Manchester Township at 3-Haddonfield. Haddonfield
has allowed just 45 points, including 14 over the past five weeks, but
will be tested by an explosive Manchester ground game powered by
Joe Johnson.
Dark horse: Granted Camden gave up more points than it
scored, but a late field goal in last Saturday's 9-7 win over Group 1
juggernaut Glassboro got the Panthers to this point.
Player to watch: Johnson, Manchester Township
Championship game: 1-West Deptford vs. 2-Willingboro
Winner: 2-Willingboro
