Saturday, November 29, 2003 By Jason Brown When the Eagles from West Deptford congratulated each other after their game on Saturday afternoon, they had just completed their 11th straight victory without a loss. It would seem as if it was a hard fought season with last minutes field goals or touchdown runs. Well, no. West Deptford has dominated teams behind the running of Tom Walls, throwing by Anthony Scirrotto and a relentless defense. Paulsboro, who dominated this Thanksgiving rivalry for a long time, were shout down and shut out by that very same defense. West Deptford’s 20-0 victory has given a lot for Overbrook to think about for their upcoming South Jersey Group II match-up on Friday night. |
