High School Basketball: Saturday, January 24, 1998
By Art Redd
Cherry Hill East's defense was the key to their 32-16 victory over Pennsauken. The Cougars would start out with the traditional 2-3 defense and then switched to the 1-3-1 man press to stifle any Pennsauken inside game. Jeff Pela would score all the points for his team in the first half to take a 9-6 lead. Scott Plasky and Marcus Bullock would set up screens inside the paint to free up Pela.

High School Basketball: Saturday, January 24, 1998
By Art Redd
If the way the first 6 points were scored was an indication of how the rest of the game would be, then this had all the implications of a very high offensive scoring game. Pemberton went to work right off of the opening tip with a 3 pointer. But Lenape would respond with a 3 pointer of their own. All of this would happen within the first 10 seconds of the game. To slow things down, the Hornets would apply a full court press right after their basket and surprise the Lenape Indians. This defense would result in 8 of their 19 first quarter points off of the press. Guards Willie William and Jurron Kelly were very aggressive to force over turnovers.

Washington Township Ice Hockey Club:
By Gregg Williams December began with a sound 8-3 victory over Lenape. Gray Shaneberger led the way with a Hat Trick and 1 assist. Goalies Mark Zlatkin and Brian Migliorisi combined to make 20 saves as the Varsity kept Lenape pinned in their own zone most of the evening. Other offensive starts for Township were Nick Gariffo (2 goals, 1 assist), and James Christian and Jeff Slotnick with a goal each. In the much anticipated rematch with Eastern, it was Township who desperately needed a win to stay in the hunt for the South Jersey Crown. Eastern handed Varsity its only loss in South Jersey this year.
Senior Mark Zlatkin started in goal and the Migali's (Bruno from Ernie) gave Township an early first period goal. But Eastern scored twice to take a 2-1 lead. Early in the second, with a delayed penalty on, Jeff Slotnick jumped off the bench to pop one in and tie it. Sophomore blue-liner Chris Harrington scored a power play goal to five Township the lead only to see Eastern tie it with a power play goal of their own.

High School Wrestling:
By Sean Keegan As the winter sports season begins, this year's Edgewood Wrestling team has a tough act to follow. Last year's prosperous results leave a gymnasium full of fans with high hopes, and a team hurt by graduation. The loss of Matt Simone, Bill Pizzuto, and Josh Andruzzi to graduation and Darnell Scott and Wesley Roach to Overbrook and Cherokee respectively, produce a roster that would appear weaker than last year.
However, this Edgewood team cannot be overlooked. The early records of returning superstars Dave Gatto (8-0), Chris Catania (8-1), and captain Bob Pizzuto(7-1) are motivating this young team to compete in this very difficult conference. The Eagles are getting big wins from Derek Shaffer and Ken Kenopka, and from new-comer Lee Miniti. They also have high hopes for Andrew Coumo and veteran Dan Simone (1-0), both returning recently from injuries.

High School Swimming:
By Rod Smith GTT - Wed. Jan.14 - Double-dual
All the ingredients of top-notch competition were evident - long-standing arch-rivalry, standing room only, packed decks, top- ranked swimmers from both teams. All the makings for a meet where 4th and 5th places could be determining factors as East Coach Fred Knouse noted: "Every time counts today." And it was ALL CHERRY HILL fighting for power points.

By Scot Williams The Medford Ice Rink Bruins overcame 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to defeat the Panthers 3-2. A late third period goal by Colin Murphy (#8) proved to be the game winner.
This mid-season match up featured strong defensive efforts by both teams and spectacular goaltending. Bruins goaltender Bryan Williams stopped 18 shots while Frank Jablonski was called on to make 22 saves for the Panthers.
