Three local soccer teams are heading to the postseason, as the Cherry Hill East girls and Cherry Hill West and Camden Catholic boys all scored seeds in their respective tournaments, per the official seeds released by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
The West boys nabbed the highest seed, grabbing the No. 10 spot in South Jersey, Group 4—an improvement over a season ago, when they just slipped in as a No. 15 seed, losing to eventual sectional champ Washington Township.
The Lions will still have to hit the road for the playoffs again this year, heading to Egg Harbor Township in the opening round, scheduled for Tuesday.
