Cinnaminson is reportedly 6-0, with Dylan Platenecky and Jason Pacetti forming one of the area’s most productive attacking partnerships. The program’s 2021 championship gives its start added weight as the tournament picture develops.
Northern Burlington is listed at 5-0-1, with Elijah Font and Monroe Castor leading the forward line. Its only reported dropped points came against Robbinsville, a side ranked 14th in the state. That result gives the Burlington County Scholastic League Liberty Division race an immediate focal point.
The early challengers are not relying only on attack. The report lists Cherokee as conceding three goals in six matches, while Eastern has allowed just one, in a reported 2-1 opening win over Egg Harbor. Cherry Hill East has yet to concede and has drawn only with Kingsway, in a 0-0 contest.
Other notable early records include:
Sterling senior Connor Maenner has reportedly produced nine goals and three assists, while Washington Township’s Wadee Elbaroudi has scored five.
St. Augustine remains a serious contender despite a reported 4-2 record, with losses against North Jersey opponents Delbarton and Seton Hall Prep. Washington Township defeated St. Augustine 1-0 in last season’s final, adding a clear benchmark for the defending champions.
Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, West Deptford, Audubon, Gateway, Westampton Tech, Hammonton, Egg Harbor, Mainland and Absegami also remain in contention.
The next league fixtures should test whether Cinnaminson and Northern Burlington can maintain their perfect starts, while the defensive records of Eastern, Cherokee and Cherry Hill East face their toughest examination before tournament selection.
