The SJHSIHL traveled to West Chester last night and played a group of All Stars from the CPIHL and won 8-6. Seven different players scored, with Cole Zucker leading the attack with two goals. The game started out with both teams feeling each other out and with a 20 minute period, the shifts were short and the action did not pick up until late in the period when Jared Hand put the South Jersey team on top with just over two minutes left. That goal seem to open the flood gates as about one minute later Zucker converted a nice feed from Taylor Olson for a 2-0 advantage. Vada Mangum got the start and surrendered just one goal in the final thirty seconds as Kenny Gross scored his first of two on the night to cut the lead to 2-1.

In sports the one of the many sayings is it’s not how you start but how you finish. Look at the Giants, they got hot at the right time and unfortunately are celebrating another championship. Same can be said for the St Louis Cardinals last year. As we look back in the SJHSIHL, we used the last 6 games as a barometer to see who has been hot. Cherokee comes in as the favorite, rightfully so as they are the defending champs and finished atop of the Tier 1 division with just 2 losses. And in their last 6 games have gone 5-1. Clearview has won 4 games in a row and 5 out of 6, with the lone loss coming against Cherokee, a team they defeated earlier in the season.
