At a quick glance the MD and NJ teams appear solid but certainly not juggernauts. Delbarton went 7-3 last year, only "bad" loss to a real juggernaut, Bergen Catholic, 42-13.

Bishop McNamara went 4-5 against a brutal schedule (1 win was a forfeit). Lost their last 4, including a close one (18-16) to a team we're familiar with, Good Counsel. McNamara's last 4 games were a brutal stretch.

Obviously hard to judge how teams will be in 2025 versus how 2024 ended up, but it seems like both teams are pretty solid and will obviously show up and play a tough schedule like we will. Glad both of these games are at home. I think the Delbarton game will be their first game of the year while we will have the nice added benefit of already playing one prior.
Glad there's 10 games, all against solid competition. Team will be well tuned by the time the playoffs roll around.
