2011 Glassboro 40, Gloucester 20

BORO ran off 40 straight points after Gloucester took early 7-0 lead.  Very impressed by the 40 point run both on offense and defense.

Team overcoming the adversity of first defeat very well.

If BORO wins 7 in a row and PG loses to Red Lion, assuning neither Paulsboro or Woodbury can beat West deptford or Haddonfield:

BORO gets #1 seed

PG gets 2nd seed

PV gets 3rd seed

Woodbury gets 4th seed with 3 losses!

Paulsboro gets 5th seed with just one loss (Haddonfield) despite having beat Woodbury

So first seed is very possible - just win one game at a time!

2011 Glassboro 14, Salem 0

Not as big as the usual margin, but a step forward for the team.

Defense was outstanding!

Offense seemed to be concentrating on not making mistakes which is what they needed to do.

Overall a good job of overcoming the adversity of the previous week.

Since Paulsboro beat Woodbury, Paulsboro has a good shot at going undefeated in the first 8 games.  We have to look towards 2nd seed.  1st or 2nd seeds are just as good as the final will now be played on a neutral field.  Basically keep winning and everything will fall into place.  I think that PG will lose to Red Lion and Woodbury will lose to WD, so basically win 7 in a row and we have 2nd seed!  I'll do the math for next week's post.

This week's goal should be to shut down Gloucester and try to increase the scoring.  I would like to see 4 TDs (but I am greedy).  4 TDs is usually enough to beat Gloucester even in their better years.

Then have a nice time in Pitman working on stuff before facing an improved Woodstown team which gave Pennsville all it could handle.

Then a bye week to get ready for Schalick, Pennsville and Camden!

Remember that photos are on Facebook although I will be changing the ones on here soon.

2011 PG 54, BORO 0

"Disaster at Penns Grove" will be the name for this game.  The worst defeat since 1914.

PG was ready and looking to avenge last year's defeat and to avenge their suspension from the playoffs.  A team with a mission.  Meanwhile our BORO was not ready as was evident in the scrimmages.  4 fumbles led to 4 scores.  Kudos to the Grove.  They are an excellent team. 

Our BORO can arise from this adversity.  If we win the next 7, we have a shot at home field for the playoffs.  PG has a tough out-of-state opponent.  If Woodbury beats Paulsboro and West Deptford beats Woodbury, then all will have one loss (assuming we beat Pennsville).  Our schedule strength gives us the advantage.
