Friday, November 8, 2002 By Vincent Lewis The Burlington/Olympic Conference matchup between the Washington Township Minutemen traveling to Lenape to take on the Indians was as close as a game could get.

A two-point conversion and a missed extra point attempt highlighted this game, as Township would be the team posting a 14-13 victory one the road.
