John........Hafis' team lost a couple of weeks ago in the first round of the playoffs. They were supposed to be real good this year, but were not.

Thanks, IK. I got that game (vs. Hunterdon Central) in the previous week's roundup, but I hadn't seen that it was a playoff game. They did still play Scotch Plains on Thanksgiving Day, though: MaxPreps Elizabeth High School Boys Football Fall 07-08.

Friday Night Lights Roundup for the weekend of 11/30
Sorry to be so late getting this up. At this point in the season there are only a few Irish commits still active, but here are their scores from last week's games:
<ul>
<li><strong>Jamoris Slaughter's</strong> Tucker (Ga.) team moved to 13-0 on the year and set up a Class AAAA <a href="http://www.macon.com/176/story/206298.html" target="_blank">semifinal matchup</a> with top-ranked Northside-Warner Robbins, as they <a href="http://www.ajc.com/highschool/content/sports/highschool/stories/2007/11/30/hstucker_1201.html" target="_blank">dominated Bainbridge by a final score of 34-7</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Omar Hunter's</strong> Buford (Ga.) team <a href="http://www.accessnorthga.com/detail.php?n=204493&c=4" target="_blank">avenged a string of three straight playoff losses</a> to Charlton County by <a href="http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/120107/hig_221865639.shtml" target="_blank">beating the Indians, 21-14</a>, in the Class AA state quarterfinal. <a href="http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?show=localnews&pnpID=909&NewsID=859403&CategoryID=13281&on=0" target="_blank">Next up</a> for the 13-0 Wolves is 11-2 Dublin in the semi-state on Saturday.</li>
<li><strong>Joseph Fauria </strong>had <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_7607290" target="_blank">four catches for 49 yards</a> as his Crespi (Calif.) team won their ninth straight game by <a href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-preps1dec01,1,2351577.column?coll=la-headlines-pe-sports" target="_blank">defeating Servite in overtime, 13-10</a>, in the Pac-5 Division semifinals. The 11-2 Celts, who have a chance to win their first major title since 1986, will play <a href="http://www.dailybreeze.com/sports/articles/11992511.html" target="_blank">12-1 Long Beach Poly</a> in the Pac-5 final.</li>
<li><strong>Mike Golic Jr.'s</strong> Northwest Catholic (Conn.) team put up a good fight but <a href="http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19083613&BRD=1646&PAG=461&dept_id=11039&rfi=6" target="_blank">fell to top-ranked Ansonia, 25-7</a>, in their Class S semifinal game. They finish the year at 8-3.</li>
<li><strong>Dan McCarthy</strong> watched from the sidelines with a neck injury once again, and his Cardinal Mooney (Ohio) team lost in the state championship game, <a href="http://www.ohio.com/sports/12029636.html" target="_blank">falling 28-27 to Coldwater</a>. Mooney blew a lead but came back to score a touchdown with 21 seconds left in regulation, but their extra point attempt was blocked. The loss was the first since 2005 for the Cardinals, who finish the year at 14-1.</li>
</ul>
That's all for this past week. I'll try to have the results from this coming weekend's playoff games up more quickly.

Friday Night Lights Roundup for the weekend of 12/7
Friday Night Lights Roundup for the weekend of 12/7
There were only a few Irish commits in action this weekend, all of them in state semifinal games:
<ul>
<li><strong>Jamoris Slaughter</strong> and his Tucker (Ga.) team built a 28-7 lead at halftime but ended up falling to <strong>Marques Ivory</strong> and undefeated Northside-Warner Robbins, 31-28, in the<a href="http://www.ajc.com/highschool/content/sports/highschool/stories/2007/12/08/nwr_1208.html" target="_blank"> Class AAAA state semifinals</a>. Tucker finishes the season at 13-1.</li>
<li><strong>Joseph Fauria</strong> was held to just one catch - and his Crespi (Calif.) offense to <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_7673651" target="_blank">262 total yards</a> - as they <a href="http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-preps9dec09,1,6021609.column?coll=la-headlines-pe-sports" target="_blank">lost, 13-3, to Long Beach Poly</a> in the Pac-5 title game. For a nice review of Crespi's remarkable resurgence this year - they were the only team to defeat perennial state powers Lake Balboa and St. Bonaventure - check out <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_7673649" target="_blank">this piece</a>.</li>
<li>And finally, <strong>Omar Hunter</strong> and his Buford (Ga.) Wolves squad did just what they've been doing all year: they <a href="http://www.ajc.com/gwinnett/content/sports/highschool/stories/2007/12/08/buford_1209.html" target="_blank">obliterated defending state champion Dublin, 48-0</a>, in the Class AA state semifinal. Buford will face 12-2 Lovett, whom they beat by a score of 21-0 earlier in the year, in next week's championship game.</li>
</ul>
That's all for this week. Best of luck to Omar and the Wolves next Saturday!
