High school fans anxious to see the highly-anticipated match between top-seeded Lenape, a Group 4 school, and second-seeded Group 2 Haddonfield in the finals of the girls South Jersey Coaches Tournament, will have to wait a week. It was scheduled for tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. at Eastern, but the weatherman seems pretty certain that we're going to have miserable weather all day. Plenty of rain and maybe even some snow.
I was critical of Rowan a few weeks back for postponing its game with Stockton because it might snow. But this decision makes sense. From everything I have read and heard, this is not a case of might, but rather, when and how much? It's supposed to be gone by Sunday.

1 v 2
It's the dream of any tournament committee: the first seed plays the second seed in the final. And it's a reality in this Saturday's final of the South Jersey Coaches Cup (officially the Coaches Tournament) when undefeated #2 Haddonfield (18-0) will face top-seeded Lenape at 4 p.m. at Eastern H.S.
Haddonfield made a goal by Kylie Kirk in the 4th minute stand up the rest of the way as it downed a disciplined Paul VI team, 1-0 at Eastern. "There was a mess in front of the net, and I just got the ball in the net," Kirk told the Inquirer. Both teams were missing players with injuries but it didn't show as both went all out for 80 minutes.
The Bulldogs were unable to build momentum off Kirk's early goal and neither team had a realistic threat the rest of the first half. But Paul VI started to dominate midway through the second half and several times it looked as though the Eagles would equalize, only to see a good shot veer wide or be saved by Kellie Riley. “That was as gutsy a performance as I’ve ever seen us have,” said Coach Glenn Gess. “I’m very proud of these kids.”
Top-ranked Lenape advanced to the final by way of a 3-1 win over Timber Creek, paced by two goals from Rachelle Ross.
