The Jersey Blitz, Episode 10: 1st round playoff chaos and debating non-public seeds

What a playoff weekend it was.
The opening round of the public school playoffs lived up to the hype. Top-seeded teams dominated, underdogs flipped brackets upside down and there were a handful of down-to-the-wire overtime thrillers.
So let’s talk about it.
On Episode 10 of The Jersey Blitz, football reporters Luis Torres, Ryan Patti, Kevin Minnick, Bill Evans, Joe Zedalis and Mike Kinney — along with host Dan Long — break down everything that happened from last weekend‘s last round and look ahead at this weekend’s sectional semifinals.
Our crew also analyzes, dissects and debates over the non-public seeds that were released on Sunday. What did the committee get right? What did they get wrong? What would we have done differently? That’s all packed into this episode.
