Home team and higher seed on left.
#1 Penn Wood 9-1 vs #16 Kennett 4-6, 14.50 Penn Wood
Penn Wood’s loss was at Rustin Sept 21st, one of the few challenges on the schedule excepting an interesting slate of SOL teams to open the season; Souderton, Pennsbury, CR North. Won last 5 games. Kennett has trouble scoring against a weak slate with a D that statistically looks impressive at 16ppg until noting they faced few offense of any size. Penn Wood should win big here then rematch with Interboro.
#8 Upper Merion 6-4 vs #9 Interboro 5-5, .24 Upper Merion
Upper Merion similar to Kennett with scant challenges in PAC-Frontier, losing the few faced, OJ Roberts twice, Pope PJ II and non-conf Radnor. Far more challenging schedule for Bucs playing Ryan, Perk Val, Academy Park and Penn Wood. Won last 3 games. Bucs should take this one.
#4 Academy Park 8-2 vs #13 Strath Haven 5-5, 4.39 Academy Park
AP stretched their legs going to Pennbury, Unionville and Great Valley (Malvern) for wins, then home to Gratz for a 4-0 start before West Va power Martinsburg defeated them 42-20. Nice. Big O with suspect D losing to Penn Wood 40-20 last week. Strath Haven won their last 2 after losing to 4 of the 5 top teams in the Central including a close call loss to Radnor 23-21. Neighborhood brawl here.
#5 Rustin 7-2 vs #12 Oxford 5-5, 10.29 Rustin
Rustin lost to West Chester East and Coatesville, winning the rest comfortably by an average score of 37-11. Whereas the Hornets started 3-0 before the 2-5 finish that included a 49-13 loss at Rustin before ending the regular season with losses at Kennett 45-0 and home to Bishop Shanahan 29-15. Looks like Rustin again.
#2 Upper Dublin 8-1 vs #15 Phoenixville 4-6, 12.11 Upper Dublin
The Cards skated through the regular season unscathed with a wicked defense allowing 7.6ppg, barring the loss to Penn Charter (5th year players?). Phoenixville struggled in the PAC-Frontier (hard to do!) averaging 13ppg except for the 49-0 rout of Upper Perk. That, plus their inability to win on the road says this gets way out of hand for Phx.
#7 Cheltenham 7-3 vs #10 West Chester East 5-5, 10.43 Cheltenham
Looking good with a young team except for losses to Abington 27-0, Upper Dublin 20-7 and Hatboro Horsham7-6 (missed extra point) where the rushing defense took a holiday, even vs Hatters where Jordan Collazo ran for 206 yards. East well tested from ChesMont-National ‘tho blow out by Dtown East and West and Coatesville. Upset loss to Sun Valley (3-7) 50-49 and weird loss to Avon Grove (5-5) 34-14 prevented a 7-3 season. At 30ppg minus 56-7 Coatesville loss. Probably eager to atone for the last game being a home loss to Hatters. Otherwise this looks like a really good matchup.
#3 Radnor 8-2 vs #14 Marple Newtown 5-5, 23.01 Radnor
Radnor handled Ridley 63-21, Springfield 35-23 and were edged by Garnet Valley 29-28, losing to Haverford 40-16. Marple Newtown was blow out in all their big games (G-Val. SField, UD) except Radnor who beat them 27-24, with wins coming against Kipps-DuBois, Lower Merion, Penncrest, Stoga and Harriton, a combined 7 and 42.
#6 Springfield 7-3 vs #11 Unionville 4-6, 4.09 Springfield
5-0 start and a 2-3 finish for Springfield with a 6-0 loss to Garnet Valley standing out and a second shutout as well to Haverford 20-0. The other loss was Radnor 35-23 with all 3 losses coming at home. U-ville never got it going after an 0-3 start, beating no teams with a .500 record. The ones they defeated were 15-25.
