Skinner Man. The Skins are one of the greatest surprises to me this year returning a nice core on offense (at least 3 lineman +skill) and most of the D. Typically that gets you to a 8-2 level. But, it happens; things doen't always work out. Is there a coaching issue? Good luck at PBS. Looks like an even game.HSF -
It looks that way with Neshaminy at 16 and Pennsbury at 17. I'm not sure, though, if there aren't some combinations of wins and losses by other teams that could take the winner out regardless of the victory (I haven't dug in as it's been a rather forgettable season for Langhorne).
GV currently leads it 3-1, won the 2021 playoff game, twice in 2022 (week 0 and D1 final, then West winning in week 0 this year. That's an interesting potential matchup but there are a bunch of others too in the second round if the seeds hold. First round CB South vs Coatesville will be an interesting matchup.Assuming CBW & GV win their 1st rd matchups, that 2nd round matchup is very intriguing. A little rivalry has been born out of these two schools. Would be the 5th time in the past 3 years they’ve met (GV 4-1 with CBW winning this year)
Good luck to all the teams. Hoping for a good playoffs!
CB West & D East appear to be the favorites to take D1. Not clear if they’re in different brackets.
When are the official brackets out?
McCloud is Cheltenhams real threat. IMO West will win by 3 scores. Coaching will come into play . West will grind them down .I think CBW will handle Cheltenham, but it could be an interesting game. Cheltenham has athletes all over the field and a very talented QB. I don’t see cheltenham stopping CBW ground game at all, but I do think this may be the first real test for CBW defensive backfield. Also, cheltenham has played a tough schedule (Roman, Wilson, PV, etc) so they won’t be intimidated.
Again, I think West will handle them but it may be more interesting than a typical 1-16 matchup.
Definitely much more talent than you'd expect in a 16 seed. They only got into the playoffs because the Abington suspended game was declared a win. I assume Abington agreed to that at some point. They've played a tough schedule but didn't have a break-through win. Probably the most comparable game would have been against Plymouth-Whitemarsh and their running attack. P-W ran for a bunch of yards in that game and scored 42. (Quakertown shut out P-W) Upper Moreland was a win but not in impressive fashion. The other side of the coin is that with injuries on defense, West is a bit depleted on that side of the ball, especially in the secondary. Cheltenham will need to hit some big plays, because West's run game is not going to get shut down. West ran for 3163 yards on the season, with two 1000 yard rushers.I think CBW will handle Cheltenham, but it could be an interesting game.

CB South has looked real good. I expect a closeI’ll take Coatesville. I’ve been banging the drum that the SOL was really down this year (I certainly may be wrong). I think Ortega is a great coach. I see them beating CB South and giving SF all they can handle in round 2. I wouldn’t surprised to see them win both.
They have athletes especially McLeod, Ingram. He was the offense vs Wilson with a 89 scoop and score and a 81 punt return in 40-26 loss G-3 at West Lawn.I think CBW will handle Cheltenham, but it could be an interesting game.
