AAA Rankings            2-1-05

1- Germantown Acdy          Undefeated so far with big wins over O’Hara and Malvern. Will this mark GA’s first Flyers Cup since they won it back-to-back in 1994 and ’95?

2- LaSalle                             Haven’t lost since opening day against O’Hara. The Explorers handed Malvern their first loss of the season.

3- Malvern Prep                    Someone will have to dig deep into their history books to find the last time Malvern lost two in a row in league play. The Friars dropped two straight to LaSalle and GA while struggling to find the net.

4- Cardinal O’Hara              O’Hara could be this years sleeper. Everyone will be focused on the top three teams, O’Hara may be able to pull off a post season upset. They already beat LaSalle this year.

5- Archbishop Wood           .Wood hasn’t won a game in three straight AAA games. The loss to Bonner was the most surprising. They lost Rob Gray for 30 days. That suspension will cover the rest of the season.

6- Archbishop Carroll         Carroll went 1-3-0 in January, beating Wood while dropping games to Shanahan, GA and O’Hara. The 3-3 tie with Malvern was big, but the inconsistent Patriots need to get some momentum going.

7- Holy Ghost Prep              Still haven’t found there groove. They hung tough against Malvern in a 4-2 loss. Tied Wood and dropped one to O’Hara. LBCSHL title is still within reach.

8- Monsignor Bonner          It was quite a month for the Friars. Scoring wins against Haverford, Wood, Ryan and Judge. They also pulled out a 3-3 tie with Arch rival Cardinal O’Hara.

9-St. Joe’s Prep                   I know they played a AA schedule, but they have played O’Hara and Bonner.  They edged Bonner 2-1 in mid-November. They will have the #12 seed in the AAA Flyers Cup.               

10- Bishop Shanahan        Two wins in January against Bonner and Carroll have given the Eagles some much needed momentum. They will need to find some scoring punch as their leading goal scorer has a mere three goals

AA Rankings              2-1-05

1- W.C. East                         East will have a good tune-up before the post season. Three of their last four games are against AAA opponents. The loss to Haverford was a small setback, but no team turned it up to steal the #1 spot.

2- Washington Twp.            Had a few bumps in the road in January. Previously undefeated the Minutemen dropped two in a row to Cherokee and Moorestown.

3- C.B. South                        Had West dead to rights with 20 seconds left. They couldn’t hold on to play spoiler. In three AA contests they outscored, CB East, Pennridge and Rock South by a combined 17-1.

6- Neshaminy                      Losses to Pennsbury and Tennent kept Neshaminy from climbing higher in the rankings. They do lead the LBCSHL down the stretch run..

8- Cherokee                         Sitting at 12-2-2 in SJHSIHL play with a big win against Township. They should be invited to the dance, how will they fare?

10- You pick it:                      Eastern Regional, Abington, Tennent, Paul VI, Cherry Hill East, Rancocas Valley, Conestoga, Council Rock South or Bishop McDevitt

A Rankings

1- C.B. West                         The Bucks were about to see their undefeated season end against C.B. South. Chris Moore scored with less than 20 seconds left to preserve the tie.

2- Penncrest                         Penncrest had a good test against Moorestown. Could we see these two in the Flyers Cup finals?

3- Springfield                        Springfield will also test themselves against Moorestown in a pre-Flyers Cup exhibition game. The Cougars are hot lately, but are without starting goalie Wertman for a while.

4- Moorestown                     Finished the season 17-1-0, with the only loss coming at the hands of Cherry Hill East, 5-4. The Quakes skated to a 6-6 tie in an exhibition game against Penncrest.

5- Lower Dauphin               At 10-1-1 the Falcons are on top of the CPIHL. They will have a chance to avenge their only loss of the season, against Hershey on Friday the 4^th.

6- Hershey                            Only two losses for Hershey, but they came against teams that they could have beaten in Warwick and Hempfield. We will see if they can return to form against LD.

7- Garnet Valley                   After coming out of the gates at full steam, GV has slowed a little over the past two months. They’ve dropped four of their last five, but have a favorable schedule down the stretch.

8- Interboro                           Still unbeaten against A and AA teams. Their only loss came at the hands of AAA St. Joseph’s. The Buc’s stingy D and goaltending are yielded only two goals per game.

9- Radnor                              Radnor is still hovering around .500 in the tough Central division. Will they make it to the Flyers Cup? If being the two time defending State champs means anything, they should be able to defend that title.

10- Downingtown East       East requested to be considered for the AA Flyers Cup. They are 7-3-0 against AA competition this season, will they make it?
