High School Softball (Group 4 Finals): Saturday, June 6, 1998
By Crystal Parker
This game featured the Clifton Mustangs who had not been defeated over the past two seasons. Most people predicted a Clifton versus Toms River North championship game. But the Chiefs had something to say about that. Cherokee got past Toms River and a very good Hunterdon Central team to get to the finals. But they just could not get that last victory to claim the title. The Mustangs would bat around plus one in the fourth inning to pull ahead 6-0 and shutout the Chiefs 8-0 at Toms River North High School. With the victory, the Mustangs would add one more win to their 63 consecutive win streak.

South Jersey Running: Saturday, June 6, 1998
By The Kid The sixth annual Kings Grant Outdoor Awareness Day 5K June 6 looked more like a training run for some area high school runners than a road race. Three members of the Cherokee boys' track team set the pace for the field of 41 finishers that competed on the fast and flat 3.1-mile loop course around Kings Grant. Senior Jeff Storch, 18, of Marlton won his first title here in 16:55, four seconds ahead of teammate Michael Caputi, 16, of Marlton.
Another Chiefs' runner, David Sitzer, 17, finished third, a minute behind Storch in 17:55.

High School Softball (Group 2 Finals): Saturday, June 6, 1998
By Art Redd
After all the games they have played during the regular season and the playoffs, it came down to two teams. The Kingsway Dragons and Mahwah Thunderbirds knew what was at stake when they travelled to Toms River North High School. Both teams were trying to capture their first state title. Each team had to win five consecutive playoff games to get to the NJSIAA finals. The Dragons would get that title by jumping out to an early lead and capture the State Group 2 championship by defeating the Thunderbirds 4-0. Wendi Miller would keep the Mahwah batters off balance with her pitching and strike out 14 batters.
