South Jersey Week 6: Games to Watch

We’re at the midway point of the season and every game is crucial. Playoff berths will soon be determined from here on out. That being said, let’s take a look at the best games to watch. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Cedar Creek (5-0) vs Holy Spirit ( 3-1)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday at 6pm</em> There is a huge showdown tonight as undefeated Cedar Creek will look to keep their streak alive. Creek is coming off a big win over Woodrow Wilson last week while Holy Spirit cruised past Pleasantville. This is a big game for both teams who are loaded with talent on both ends. Cedar Creek is led by<em> Senior WR,  [player_tooltip player_id="27993" first="JoJo" last="Bermudez"] (Cedar Creek) </em>who has accumulated 660 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns this season. Holy Spirit is led by Senior WR, <i>[player_tooltip player_id="27988" first="Elijah" last="Steward"] (Holy Spirit). </i>This should be a great game to watch, stay tuned. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Overbrook (5-0) at New Egypt (3-0)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday at 6:30pm</em> This matchup will feature two undefeated two teams who are trying to keep their streak alive. Overbrook is coming off a win over Haddon Township 42-7. Senior Runningback <i>[player_tooltip player_id="207927" first="Eddie" last="Bupp"] (Overbrook)</i> is the most productive player on offense. He has piled up 785 yards and 8 touchdowns. He is well on his way for a 1,000 yard season. Defensively, Overbrook’s secondary is led by Senior Cornerback<i> Bryson Knight (Overbrook</i>) who has 5 interceptions this season. I suggest New Egypt to not throw to his side. I expect this game to be a big defensive battle. &nbsp; &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Pennsgrove (3-1) at Woodstown (3-1)</strong></span> <em>When: Friday at 7pm</em> Pennsgrove are consistently playoff contenders. They will look to maintain this accomplishment tonight. Senior Linebacker <i>[player_tooltip player_id="27972" first="Zion" last="Cheeks"] (Pennsgrove)</i> is wreaking havoc against his opponents. He is good edge rusher who constantly makes his presence felt. Cheeks has impressive numbers totaling 37 tackles, 5 TFL and 1 a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Woodstown will need to limit Cheeks if they want to win this game. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Mainland (2-3) at Deptford (0-4)</strong></span> <i>When: Friday at 7pm</i> Mainland will look to even up their record for a spot in a playoff berth.   The mustangs are led by Junior Runningback <i>Marlon Leslie (Mainland)</i> who has 383 yards and 3 touchdowns this season. He is a shifty and elusive runner who runs well behind his pads. He is their spark on the offense and the Mustangs will need to him play at a high level in order seal the victory. On the other hand, Deptford is looking get their first win of the season and they still have a chance to make a run if they win out. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 24pt;"><b>Cherokee (1-2) at Eastern (2-2)</b></span> <i>When: Friday at 6pm</i> Both teams desperately need a win to turn their season around. Cherokee is looking to rebound after a tough loss to Washington Township last week 21-14. Sophomore Quarterback <em>Ryan Bender (Cherokee)</em> has 451 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. He will look to get things going through the air against a vulnerable defense. On the hand, Eastern is looking to rebound after a disappointing loss to St. Joseph (Hamm.) last week.  Expect both teams to have high energy and a sense of urgency. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
