Well after two full weeks of the 2014 season all I can say is that I am perplexed. I am wondering whether there really is parity in the Cape this season. There were a bunch of results over the first two weeks which don’t seem to add up but hey you have to line up and play the games.

Mainland opens the season giving the Millville Thunderbolts all it wanted and kept the game close despite 300+ yards for Ennis, the Purdue commit and then Mainland has a slugfest with the AC Vikings in week two and following a shoot-out by the bay, Mainland is 0-2. Meanwhile AC bounces back from a heartbreaking loss in the final seconds on a two-point conversion and is 1-1. Jamir Prevard is one of the most talented athletes in the Cape and he seems to have weapons which will prevent defenses from keying on him as a runner.

St. Joe looks to have reloaded with two big wins over St. Augustine and Absegami and they are out in front at 2-0. St. Joe is loaded with speedsters including the Horne twins, and Ordille

EHT jumps out to 2-0 following up the come from behind win in AC with a run-away victory over Lower Cape May.

Buena has taken a commanding lead in the American division with early season wins over Buena and Cedar Creek. Cedar Creek opened the season with a blow out of a non-Cape team, however they took it on the chin in their Cape opener by losing to a determined Buena team on their home field.

Holy Spirit opens the Cape season coming off a non-conference lost to a Pennsylvania team. They lost and drop to 0-2 as Bridgeton gets to level, having lost their opener to Buena.

Oakcrest opens its season with a non-league win against a team from East Orange.

So I go back to my question. Is there parity? Is it too early to say? If there is parity, how does it impact playoff opportunities?
