Finally, the Camden Catholic Fighting Irish wrestling team got past their nemesis St. Joseph Montvale to capture the Parochial "A" State Championship. This was the third year in a row that these two teams have met for the state title, with St. Joe's holding a 2-0 advantage. It was the Fighting Irish's turn to represent South Jersey and prove they could capture the title, and they did. Especially with the freshman sensation Bob Stinson (24-0) keeping his undefeated record intact, Camden Catholic went ahead with Stinson's pin with 1:26 into the match to highlight the meet. The Irish went on to defeat their opponent 35-27.

Exceeding the expectations of science, the Chiefs captured lightning in the battle for the second time in less than 24 hours at the honorary Bob Costello Gymnasium in Evesham. The Cherokee Chiefs (11-9) and the Woodrow Wilson Tigers (11-9) squared off against each other. Although both clubs posted identical records, the hotter-than-the-new Sports Illustrated-swimsuit-issue Chiefs edged the gamely Tigers by a 50-48 score in another wildly exciting game.

In an opening round SJHSIHL playoff game played at the Coliseum on Tuesday night, the Lenape Indians shutout Collingswood 6-0. Led by Jeff Bagnoli's two goals and one by brother Gregg Bagnoli, the Indians move on to the second round. Collingswood seemed to have a good game plan as they played solid defense and took few chances offensively, but they still need to score goals. When they had the man advantage, they did not capitalize as they were 0-5 on the power play.
