High School Ice Hockey:
By Rick Murro For the second time in two years the Washington Township Ice Hockey Club entered teams in the highly competitive Iceline Holiday Tournament. The JVB team posted a win against Conestoga and a loss to West Chester East and Great Valley, finishing just short of a quarter final slot. Not bad considering it was a JVA tournament. Over the course of the 3 games, forward Scott Singer led the way with a goal and two assists . JVB's other goal scorers were Mike Murro, Joe Gabrielli and Jim Procopio. Defensemen Dan Fratantoro and Eric Marano each had a goal and an assist over the length of the tournament.
For some of the JVB members, it was their first experience in a road tournament playing against consistent quality competition. They made the club proud.

High School Wrestling: Saturday, December 20, 1997
By Art Redd
With the new wrestling season under way, getting a victory on opening day would surely be a good start. After all the hard work training and preparation for these wrestlers, it was their chance to go into the 1998 wrestling season with a opponent instead of a teammate.
Edgewood hosted St. Joseph in a non-league match and gave the home crowd alot to cheer for with a 42-26 victory. This was a good start for Coach Jim Ingles and his Eagles whose team finished with a 14-5 overall record last year.

High School Basketball: Friday, December 19, 1997
By Art Redd Highland was out to prove that they could take their new team and show the Panthers that they could play against one of South Jersey's top teams. Coach Harold Little had a strong season last year for the Tartans and a win would get the 1998 season started on a good note.
But it was Coach Clarence Turners' Panthers who would finally come
together in the second half to post an 88-71 victory. Dujuan
Wagner ran the floor well and Aaron Stephens drained in 37 points
for Camden High School.

Washington Township went into Edgewood on opening day to follow their game plan which Coach Costa had scripted for them. Her team did exactly that and defeated the Eagles. Township had an extreme height advantage and dominated the boards on both ends.
