Camden Catholic Dominant, West Wrestling on Verge of Playoffs

The latest power points have the Lions fourth in South Jersey, Group 3, while the Irish are running away with Non-Public B.

If the penultimate team power points rankings are any indication, there’s good news for Cherry Hill West and Camden Catholic wrestling—but not so great for East.

West was ranked fourth in South Jersey, Group 3, with 25.50 power points, and the dominant Irish were tops in South Jersey, Non-Public B, with 29.17 points, as of Jan. 29.

In Group 4, though, East may be out of luck—the Cougars were an unlucky 13th in the rankings, and well out of the race for one of six playoff spots.
