After two weeks on the road, South Hunterdon is heading back home. Point Pleasant Beach and South Hunterdon go head to head on Thursday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. The MaxPreps state rankings favor South Hunterdon, but they won't be able to rely on this superior ranking alone to carry them to victory.
South Hunterdon had enough points to win and then some against Dayton last week, taking their game 41-21.
Meanwhile, we expected Point Pleasant Beach to have trouble with the significantly higher-ranked Pennington, and they did. Point Pleasant Beach ended up on the wrong side of a painful 14-41 walloping at Pennington hands. Point Pleasant Beach loss continues a disappointing trend for the team, making it eight losses in a row.
South Hunterdon's win lifted them to 3-5 while Point Pleasant Beach's defeat dropped them down to 0-8. We'll find out if South Hunterdon can add another positive mark to their record or if Point Pleasant Beach can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of South Hunterdon's step.
