Despite Just 1 Loss, Cinnaminson High School Football Team Begins Playoffs on Road

Despite only suffering one loss this season, the Cinnaminson High School football team will begin its quest for a South Jersey championship on the road.

That’s how tight things were down the stretch in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 2 football championship down the stretch.

In its first year in the group, a 7-1 record was only good enough to earn the Pirates a No. 5 seed. They open the playoffs at No. 4 Buena on Friday night, Nov. 13, 7 p.m., according to unofficial matchups posted on nj.com.

Undefeated West Deptford (8-0) earned the top seed in the group, and will host No. 8 Overbrook (4-4) in the quarterfinals on Friday night.

The race for the top seed came down to the final weekend of the season, and appeared to be between West Deptford and Cedar Creek (7-1).

When everything shook out in the end, Cedar Creek had fallen all the way to the No. 3 seed. It will host No. 6 Collingswood (5-3) in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 14, 1 p.m.

The No. 2 seed went to Haddonfield (7-1). The Bulldawgs will host No. 7 Woodstown (6-2) on Friday night, 7 p.m.

The semifinals are set for Nov. 20. The championship game is scheduled for Dec. 4.
