Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps state rankings, Maple Shade should expect quite the challenge on Saturday. They and Paulsboro go head to head at 1:00 PM in their first playoff match of the year. Maple Shade is currently enjoying a six-game winning streak and is looking to extend their dominance.
Paulsboro entered their game against Gateway Regional last week without any home losses -- but there a first time for everything. It was a hard-fought game, but Paulsboro had to settle for a 20-27 defeat against Gateway Regional. Despite the defeat, Paulsboro saw an underclassman step up: Sophomore BHAYSHUL TUTEN rushed for 107 yards and 2 touchdowns on 16 carries.
Meanwhile, Maple Shade got themselves on the board against Wildwood, but Wildwood never followed suit. Maple Shade took the matchup and then some with a 49-0 win over Wildwood. For those curious, yes, that was the biggest victory Maple Shade have assembled all season.
Maple Shade's victory lifted them to 6-2 while Paulsboro's loss dropped them down to 6-2. The Paulsboro defense got after the quarterback against Gateway Regional to the tune of five sacks, so Maple Shade's offensive line better have put in some good practice this past week in preparation for the contest.
