As the game with Camden Catholic at Bishop Eustace was about to begin, both neighboring schools had their cheering sections packing the house to capacity. Earlier in the regular season, Bishop Eustace won both meetings against Camden Catholic. The Crusaders would make it three in a row and defeat the Irish 57-47 to advance to the Group A South Jersey State Finals. The finals would be against St. Joseph (Metuchen) at Lakewood High School. Bishop Eustace would dominate the second half and control the interior game to come from behind and win at home.

The Minutemen did something that most teams haven't done in a while. Washington Township ended the six game winning streak by Cherry Hill East to advance to the Group 4 quarterfinal game against Atlantic City. Township was able to find a way, for the third time this season, to handle the defense of the Cougars and defeat them 45-42. This game marked the return of Jeff Klauder who had been sidelined with an injury to his right leg for almost two months. His key free throws at the end of the game help seal the victory.

Moorestown didn't have any problems with Kingsway in their opening round playoff game. The Quakers jumped out to a 15-4 first quarter score and cruised to a 19-point victory. Kingsway was forced to shoot mostly perimeter shots with Moorestown's tight 2-3 defense. The Dragons could not convert on most of their outside shots which made it extremely hard to stage a comeback against Moorestown. This was just a tune-up game for the Quakers where they would travel to a much tougher West Deptford team in the quarterfinals. The home crowd enjoyed every minute of the 58-37 Moorestown victory.

In what was probably one of the finest games played all season, the Washington Township JVB Ice Hockey team defeated West Deptford for the South Jersey High School Ice Hockey League Championship. The game started out to the fever pitch of a pumped up crowd at the Twin Rinks of Pennsauken. Parents and fans from each club crowded the stands and the upper lounge to witness a fabulous hockey game played by the two best teams in the league.
