South Jersey Football: Saturday, February 12, 2000
By Kristi Clark Sitting across from six-foot-four Rowan Hall of Famer, Mr. Felton Jones, it's hard to believe that he was ever challenged in sports.
"I'm what you call a late bloomer," he explains, settling back in his chair. "I went to college to play baseball. I could hit any ball, but I was only so-so in football. As I got better, I began to love football."

For those of you who haven't seen the Camden boy's basketball team play this year, make time to do so. With the electrifying cross over dribble, ball handling, three point shooting, assist man DaJuan Wagner healthy, the Panthers are moving up the charts faster than Q-Tips Vibrant Thang. The Cherokee Chiefs were the victims of another team finding out how good the Panthers are this season. With the 58-45 win, Camden has improved their record to 12-4 and look to be unbeatable.

High School Ice Hockey: Monday, February 7, 2000
By Mike Costantino
Cherokee defeated Cherry Hill East 5-2 and clinched first place in Tier 2 of the SJHSIHL, but the game was marred by a brawl which forced the officials to stop play with just under three minutes remaining. It's unfortunate that a game with this much importance was cut short due to poor judgement and at times poor officiating. East scored the only goal in the opening period as Mike Danyo deflected a shot by Desrochers. Cherokee tied the game at 1-1 when Paul Caruso scored on a pass from Kyle Kelly and Pat Birney.
