Week 6 Record: 2-3  .400

Woodbridge (2-4) at Perth Amboy (1-4) – Analysis 

With no disrespect, I’ll go out on a limb and predict the Barrons defeat the Panthers by 20+ points. That isn’t a “feel good” sentiment, it based on past performances against common opponents. Amboy has posted an 0-3 record against South Plainfield (33-14), St Joseph (43-15), and Kennedy (42-7). They were outscored 118PA - 36PF (-82).

Woodbridge, recorded a 1-2, with 70PF - 63PA (+7). South Plainfield was in the Barrons’s pocket and a late 4^th quarter implosion gave it away.  St Joseph was a sound lose (28-6) to a premier team, and Kennedy suffered an embarrassing (52-20) defeat. The Panthers can’t handle what the Barrons are going to put onto the field offensively or defensively.  

Woodbridge is sitting eighth in the NJ2-G4. To receive a seeding, there is still work to do with two to go. There are a minimum of 28 PP available in those games, with 14 coming from Perth Amboy, and 14 coming from JP Stevens. The door is still ajar. Those are the facts.

So here is the math. There are 50 PP in the basket. Woodbridge must defeat both Perth Amboy and JP Stevens to add a minumum of 28 PP. If Amboy can get past North Brunswick, add another 3 PP to the total. The winner of the Kennedy at Colonia game will produce 3 more PP, and if Colonia defeats JP Stevens, add another 3 PP.  St Joseph is going to defeat Kennedy so no points there.  Summing up. 50 + 28 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 87 maximum PP.  Will that be enough to earn a seed in the Playoffs? Maybe. It's time to "Strap Up and Deliver".

Woodbridge (2-4) over (x) Perth Amboy (1-4), 7 p.m.

Colonia (2-4) over (x) J.P. Stevens (1-5), 7 p.m.

(x) Carteret (5-0) over South Plainfield (4-2), 7 p.m.

St. Joseph (6-0) over (x) J.F. Kennedy (4-2), 7 p.m.

North Brunswick (0-6) (Bye)

Home Team (x)

Season Record:  20-8   .714

Woodbridge (2-4) at Perth Amboy (1-4), 7 p.m.: The Panthers, who have been a strong second-half team over the past couple of seasons, snapped a four-game losing streak with last weekend’s 28-0 blanking of J.P. Stevens. The shutout was the first Perth Amboy posted since 2010. The Barrons are coming off a 29-14 loss to Carteret. Two of their losses – to Manasquan and South Plainfield – were by a combined four points. Pick: Woodbridge 21-18.
