Thanks to a perfect 8-0 regular season record, the road through the South Jersey Group 2 football playoffs goes through West Deptford.

The Eagles were granted the No. 1 seed in the sectional playoffs, which will begin on Friday. West Deptford will host Colonial Conference rival Sterling in the quarterfinals. The game is Friday night at 7 p.m.

Sterling (4-4) managed to sneak into the playoffs ahead of Haddonfield (5-3), who were eliminated with a loss to West Deptford on Friday night. Sterling had just four more power points than the Bulldawgs, despite finishing behind them in the standings.

Friday night's game will be a rematch of the two teams' meeting from Sept. 28, when the Eagles defeated the Silver Knights 35-20 in Somerdale. Gerald Owens ran for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. Shai Mumford added five catches, including a touchdown reception.

The winner of Friday night's game will move on to the semifinals on Nov. 30 or Dec. 1. They will play the winner of the game between No. 4 Haddon Heights and No. 5 Woodstown. Those two teams will battle on Saturday afternoon.

The other side of the sectional bracket is unfamiliar to the Eagles, as it features two Burlington County schools and two Cape-Atlantic schools. Undefeated No. 2 seed Cedar Creek is the favorite to come out of the lower end of the bracket. They will host No. 7 Cinnaminson in their first round game. The other quarterfinal will feature No. 3 Willingboro hosting No. 6 Middle Township.

The South Jersey Group 2 title game will be held on Dec. 7 at Rowan University.
