First and foremost, the following report is not the final word. It is my Analysis and Prediction for the NJ2-G4 Sectional Playoffs

I ran the numbers and determined, there are 8 potential Power Points (PP) on the table for the Woodbridge Barrons. Reality, tells me only 2 PP are viable. JP Stevens defeating St Joseph is out (3 PP), and Perth Amboy defeating Colonia is out (3 PP). So, that leaves South Plainfield defeating Kennedy (1 PP), and Carteret defeating Rumsom-Fair Haven (1 PP). This scenario bumps the total for Woodbridge to 90 PP.

2 points you say! We are only 1 behind Colonia, so do we move up? The answer is no. The reason is Colonia will receive 3 PP from a South Plainfield win, and 1 PP from a Carteret win. Colonia ends with 93 PP staying ahead of the Barrons.

There will also be a shift in the top four in the NJ2-G4. Number 1 seed Summit has completed their 8 games, while Middletown South, Middletown North, and Phillipsburg have completed only 7. All of these teams should finish their 8^th game with a win setting up the following berths for Playoff action.

NJSIAA – North Jersey 2 - Group 4 – Berths

1.       Middletown South (5-2)

2.       Middletown North (5-2)

3.       Phillipsburg (5-2) or Summit (7-1) (Residuals are the difference)

4.       Summit (7-1) or Phillipsburg (5-2) (Residuals are the difference)

5.       Sayreville (6-2)

6.       Colonia (4-4)

7.       Woodbridge (4-4)

8.       Kennedy (4-4) or North Hunterdon (4-4) (Residuals are the difference)

NJSIAA – North Jersey 2 - Group 4 – Round One

•  Kennedy or North Hunterdon travels to Middletown South
  
• Woodbridge travels to Middletown North
  
• Colonia travels to Phillipsburg or Summit
• Sayreville travels to Summit or Phillipsburg
