Playoffs are getting clearer...

4 teams are in the Driver seat at this point. Windham, Trinity and Plymouth are all in.

St. Thomas controls their own destiny, however a final week showdown could determine whether they or Hanover gets into the playoffs. That could shape up to provide some drama in the final game of the season.

Hanover and Trinity - Coach I is going to have to pull a serious rabbit out of his hat this week. The Pioneers have been putting up big numbers all year with the only bump in the road coming at the hands of the Bobcats. Carrier and Masuku are riding the Trinity line to paydirt early and often. I don't think even David Copperfield could change the outcome in this one. Pioneers roll 50 - 7.

St. Thomas and Plymouth - What does (Brandon Goodale + John  Thomas / Kyle Reisert) * Coach L. (and a confident undefeated Bobcats team) = ?  ...Well it equals 8-0. St. Thomas hasn't been able to match up very well against the other teams in the playoff chase so far. I don't think this week will be any different. Monette will get his yards, but in the end Bobcats keep on, keeping on 35 - 14.

Lebanon and John Stark - It's been a disappointing year for both of these teams. However, (the Dozer) Dylan Drew has been putting up numbers, especially the last couple weeks. Look for Lebanon to win out, starting with Stark this week, Raiders on top 35-6.

Windham and Kingswood - The Jaguars continue their winning ways. This one will be over early against a young Knights team. Cooney, Cannone, and Lorenz have certainly made their presence felt in D IV this year and this week will be no different. Jaguars win big 50-6.

Laconia and Kennet - This might be the closest game of the week. Now that the Motor Mahoney is back in action...the Eagles will have to work hard to contain him. Look for the Sachems to put up a W in what might be an upset to some people. Laconia on top 13-6.

Good luck all!

Week 6 -

One thing is certain as we enter Week 6. There are 4 teams that have positioned themselves for a run at the playoffs. Trinity, St. Thomas and Windham have all posted impressive 4-1 records as we turn the corner and head down the back stretch of 2012. Kennett is a game behind these guys but their schedule gets difficult these last 4 weeks as they look to face both Trinity and Windham these next two weeks. The way it's shaping up, there could be a potential for a log-jam of teams at 5-4 competing for that final playoff spot. We'll have to see.

There can be no debate though, Plymouth has shown themselves to be a methodical force that does things their way, steady and with flawless execution. They've defeated the Division's heavyweights convincingly with double digit wins over Windham and Trinity....smart money says they will run the table. This weeks victim will be Laconia. Plymouth 42 Sachems 14.

Down in St Thomas, the Saints will look to secure their seed with the other 4-1 teams as the Raiders from Lebanon come to town. This one will be closer than you might think, but the Saints will come out on top 24-14.

Hanover and Kingswood will lace them up, however, the Marauders will get back in the W column against a struggling Knights team. Marauders on top 35 - 7.

Trinity and Kennett. After putting together a string of 2 victories, the Eagles will look to keep it rolling against a 4-1 Pioneer team. However, Trinity is very big and very tough with their eyes on a rematch with the Bobcats in the Playoffs. Pioneers win this one big 38 - 7.

The Jaguars will get back on track this week defeating the Generals of Stark with authority 32 - 7.
