Public Groups 1-2 

October 17, 2023

Some may wonder about my inclusion of two 3-3 teams at the bottom: Woodbury and Glassboro. Woodbury was the defending state champion in Group 1 last year and that helps them. They also lost three games against quality teams in Haddonfield, Gloucester, and Woodstown in overtime – all by a total of 27 points. Glassboro has only one team on their schedule with a losing record and their three losses are by a total of 14 points against Middle Township, Pleasantville, and Penns Grove. They have also beaten quality opponents, such as Burlington City and Woodstown.
