Weeks Eight and Nine of the Philly Varsity Math League:
A bit late on the coverage due to exams and stuff.
Top records going into week 8:
George School: 6-1
Episcopal Academy: 6-1
The Hill School: 5-1
Penn Charter: 5-2
Shipley: 4-3
Germantown Friends: 3-2 (two missing)
EA enters week 8 4-0 in the Inter AC, and is facing Baldwin. If EA wins, then they automatically win the Inter AC.
Haverford aims to be the best by facing the League Favorites, Germantown Friends. Unfortunately, we cannot give GFS's full record as two matches are missing.
George School Varsity Math Team, without captain Wilson Chen and coming off a loss to Diamond Bar, takes on Agnes Irwin, a team that GSVMT usually doesn't do well against.
Penn Charter, another school that could win the Inter AC depending on the results of EA vs Baldwin, looks to guarantee at least second place as they take on Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, the number 2 team from 2019.
Matches of Week 8:
The 2021 PL (Philly League, only counting the regular season) runner up, The Hill School, takes on the 2021 VT (Varsity Tournament, the in person playoffs) runner up, Shipley.
In the final FSL matchup of the regular season, Abington Friends looks to get second place in the FSL with a win over Westtown.
