If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for West Deptford. Barnegat and West Deptford go head to head on Friday at 5:00 PM in their first playoff game of the year. West Deptford are coming into the game hot, having won three in a row.
Barnegat fought the good fight in their overtime contest last week but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap, as they fell 7-13 to Toms River South. A silver lining for Barnegat was the play of junior Devyn Defilipo, who caught 2passes for 91 yards and 1 touchdown. Near the top of the highlight reel was Finucan's 85-yard TD bomb to Devyn Defilipo in the fourth quarter.
Meanwhile, four stomps in eight total games is nothing to scoff at, and that exactly where West Deptford stand after their most recent matchup. Everything went their way against Overbrook as they made off with a 42-12 win. With West Deptford ahead 28-0 at the half, the match was all but over already.
West Deptford's victory lifted them to 6-2 while Barnegat's defeat dropped them down to 6-2. Last Friday West Deptford relied heavily on senior Tj Hoyt, who rushed for 51 yards and 3 touchdowns on 9 carries. It will be up to Barnegat's defense to limit his damage.
