High School Football: Saturday, November 14, 1998
By Gary Steiner
Two teams that rarely play each other met in the opening round of the Group 2 playoffs. It would be Delran's high powered offense, averaging 30 points per game, versus Hammonton's stingy defense, averaging just under 3 points per game. A balanced attack of run and pass for Delran would prevail with their defense stopping Hammonton's powerful running game, as the Bears stunned the undefeated Blue Devils 23-8 to move on to play Gloucester in the semifinals.

High School Football: Saturday, November 14, 1998
By Vincent Lewis Jr.
In a game where Cherokee was not at its top performance, Mike Scanzano literally won the game for the Chiefs. Brick Township had nothing to lose. Considered serious underdogs, Township scored early and often in this game. Brick scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to go ahead of the Chiefs by one. But in the end Scanzano scored his third touchdown of the day to win the game 30-25 in a Group 4 playoff game.

On a day when the Overbrook Rams hosted the Lenape Indians, the defense were the ones who would be the heroes. In a Group 4 quarterfinals playoff game, the Rams held off a late charge by Lenape to advance to the semifinals against Millville. The Indians were about to go ahead in this game late, but the Rams defense kept them off the scoreboard and recorded a 9-0 victory.

South Jersey Roller Hockey: Saturday, November 14, 1998
By Ron Odegard
The last day of Peewee Roller Hockey was a perfect fall day when the Orange Flyers hit the rink with a vengeance. These 5 & 6 year olds were willing and able to play an older team who was definitely out of their league. But...that didn't stop them. The first five guys hit the rink. J. Rosell, A. Marone, and R. Fisher played hard offense keeping the green team constantly on their toes (or skates). J. Odegard and S. Tubbs played a hard defense keeping the ball well away from their net. The first five players did an excellent job wearing down the green team in the first period.

High School Football: Friday, November 13, 1998

In a non-league game added for teams that did not make the playoffs, Washington Township defeated the Toms River East Raiders on Friday night 28-7. It was a balanced running attack led by senior Matt Scaravaglione with juniors Joe Calaciura and Dave Dick. They scored on their first possession and used less than two minutes as they went 66 yards in 4 plays. The key play being a 41 yard pass play from senior quarterback Dave Crockett to senior wide receiver Jason Mosely. Crockett would sneak over from the one and give the Minutemen an early 6-0 lead, leaving little doubt that the last home game for these seniors would not end on a losing note.

High School Soccer: Friday, November 13, 1998
By Forrest Robleto
Cherry Hill East and Rancocas Valley played 100 minutes of scoreless soccer before being decided by penalty kicks, five to three in favorite of Cherry Hill East. The Cougar fans who have complained about the lack of coverage for their team hoped that this would give them some respect. One father joked that the headline would probably be "Rancocas Valley makes finals." The Cougars outshot Rancocas Valley 12-4 and keeper Dan DiBruno never looked really tested.

There was a lot of action going on at Moorestown High School where the boy's soccer team was competing in the South Jersey Group 2 Finals. The Lady Quakers had earlier won the field hockey championship game against Hammonton 2-1. Now, the boys could cap the day off with Moorestown's second championship, this time against Haddon Heights. The Quakers were defending champions and were going for their second consecutive Group 2 title. It was a good day for Moorestown as they would add soccer to their records for capturing the Group 2 title with a 2-0 victory.

High School Soccer: Thursday, November 12, 1998
By Forrest Robleto
In the Group 4 Girls Soccer Championship game, the Lady Indians matched the Cherry Hill East Cougars' team almost evenly. The Cougars had 10 shots to Lenape's 8, but the Indians had the only shot that counted. Ten minutes into the game, Lenape's Katie Ludwig brought the ball in from the right side past two defenders and got a good shot off that cleanly beat keeper Carolyn Snyder. That goal proved to be the game winner.
