Games to Watch:
MONDAY, 4/13:
No. 5 GCIT @ Winslow, 4 p.m.
Winslow will be put to the test when No. 5 GCIT visits the Eagles in a crossover matchup. The Eagles will be tasked with limiting the connection between quarterback-receiver combo Gabriella Nicolo and Lola Gittinger. On the other hand, the Cheetahs will need to limit Winslow’s fierce rushing attack that has combined for 18 touchdowns this spring.
WEDNESDAY, 4/15:
No. 1 Mastery Camden @ No. 4 Camden Catholic, 6 p.m.
Mastery Camden travels to Cherry Hill for a key Liberty Division matchup with Camden Catholic under the lights. Led by sister quarterback-receiver duo — freshman Adrianna and two-time reigning WJFL MVP Arianna Clark — the Warriors have won their last 21 games dating back to last season. Camden Catholic has won three straight games after dropping a one-point loss to Kingsway in its season opener on Mar. 17.
