All things considered, the quarterfinal match up between the Moorestown Quakers and the Pleasantville Greyhounds had all the drama of a championship game. Just as expected, this was not an easy game for either team as they battled for 4 quarters. The Greyhounds, led by Dujuan McNair, jumped out to early leads in each quarter. Moorestown had several advantages, like playing at home and playing in front of their hometown faithful. Matt Pedrick converted on his free throws late in the game and held off Pleasantville for a 79-78 victory to advance to the semifinals against Gloucester.

It doesn't happen too often in sports when the top two teams during the regular season meet in the finals. Usually one team is upset and the finals are anti-climatic. Well in the case of the finals in the SJHSIHL, you have the teams that finished at the top in Eastern and Lenape. Even for the casual fan, this will be an entertaining series to see.

No one told the Cherokee Chiefs to lay down and let the Shawnee Renegades beat them just because they lost to them during the regular season. The Renegades were expected to just dominate Cherokee in the first round of the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 4 boys basketball tournament. Shawnee watched the Chiefs hit everything they threw up to the basket in the first quarter to show the visiting crowd they came to play ball. But Shawnee didn't disappoint the home crowd as they shut down Cherokee's offense late in the game and came away with a 66-45 victory. The Renegades advance to the next round of the playoffs against Highland.

Jeff Bagnoli and Jerry Reed each scored two goals as Lenape defeated Clearview 5-2 in the first game of the semi-finals in the SJHSIHL varsity playoffs. Jim Davis gave the Indians a 1-0 lead midway through the first period with Jon Bianco assisting, with both teams having two players in the penalty box. Clearview's strength most of the season has been good defense and hard-hitting, but on this night they seemed tentative and did not use the body as much as they have all year.
