Cinnaminson Football Team In Playoff Position Ahead Of Cutoff

CINNAMINSON, NJ — With one game left before the cutoff date, the Cinnaminson High School football team is in position to make a playoff appearance. The Pirates (5-2, 90 points) are in seventh place in NJSIAA South Jersey Group 2, according to the power points standings released on Monday.

A team earns six points for a win, plus between one and five points, depending on what group the team it defeated is in, and a residual point for each win that team has. A team's first eight games count toward its final point total, but the lowest point total among these games is dropped, so seven total games count toward the final tally. The top eight teams in each group qualify for the playoffs. Matchups will be announced next week.

The Pirates are 14 points behind sixth-place Haddonfield, two points ahead of eighth-place Pleasantville and 12 points ahead of ninth-place Overbrook. Cinnaminson visits Bordentown (3-4) Friday night, 7 p.m. Here are this week's NJSIAA South Jersey Group 2 power points rankings, as posted on nj.com:
