The matchup

Common opponents: As Colonial Conference rivals, the teams played six common opponents. They both beat Sterling, Gateway, Collingswood, Overbrook, Audubon, and Haddon Heights.

Key to victory: Turnovers. This is the fourth time these teams have played in the last 15 months. There will be no surprises. But the team that best protects the football is the one most likely to hoist the trophy at the end of the night.

Did you know? In the last two seasons, West Deptford is 2-1 against Haddonfield and 18-1 against everybody else, and Haddonfield is 1-2 against West Deptford and 19-1 against everybody else.
