Saturday, November 23, 2002 By Anton Figg Death, taxes and Isaac Redman. Big game players have another name to add to the fraternity, 18 carries for 158 yards and two touchdowns against a defense that was playing pretty well coming into the game. Don't get me wrong, Paulsboro is not a one man team, they play with a sense of kowing just how good they are. And are always looking for ways to show the rest of the football community in New Jersey. The play of the day was a 73 yard punt return by Redman in the 3rd quarter that all but sealed the victory for Paulsboro, putting the Red Raiders up 21-0. |

Saturday, November 23, 2002 By Vincent Lewis This is why most of us enjoy the post season. When hearing of an upset by a lower seeded team, that team gets most of the attention and they are branded as the "Cinderella" or "Underdog" team. Not expected to even win their first game of the playoffs, Florence has shocked most people as the sixth seeded Flashes gave Gloucester City their first loss of the season. In this game, neither team was unable to score during regulation. Jorron Jenkins' 9-yard run in overtime won the game and Florence advanced to the finals against the number one seed Paulsboro for the South Jersey Group 1 title. |

Saturday, November 23, 2002 By Susan HallSJSports Special Correspondent There were only two teams representing the South Jersey area in this year's State Group 1 girl's soccer bracket. Those teams were Cinnaminson and Pennsville. The Pirates lost in the first round, avoiding a matchup with Pennsville in the quarterfinals. The Lady Eagles on the other hand made it to the finals against Glen Rock. Both teams scored in the first half, but the defenses highlighted the rest of this competition. Keeper Paige Yeich was spectacular in goal for the Lady Eagles as this title game ended with a share of state championship crown. |

Friday, November 22, 2002 By Jerome Michaels It has been a year of redemption for the Crusaders football team from Delsea High School. No team likes to be eliminated from the playoffs in the first round after establishing a winning record throughout the regular season. Delsea were well on their way of erasing last year's memory of losing to Willingboro to open their playoff run. This year, the 10-0 Crusaders pushed their way past the dangerous Quakers from Moorestown 21-14 and look to capture the South Jersey Group 3 title against Mainland. |

Friday, November 22, 2002 By Mike Costantino Tom Sheridan's power play goal in the third period lifted Williamstown into a 5-5 tie with Paul VI in an entertaining Tier 2 game. Williamstown was down three goals twice, but led by Sheridan with two goals and an assist managed to salvage a tie with unbeaten Paul VI. After Dan Chambers' wrap around attempt was thwarted by goalie Mike Rodano, Peter Antinore gave Paul VI a 1-0 lead scoring on the power play as he converted a rebound. Rodano played solid at the net despite giving up five goals. Moments later after Williamstown over skated the puck in their own end, Mike DiGennaro jumped on the loose puck and his quick wrist shot made it 2-0. Williamstown responded 11 seconds later as Sheridan dug the puck out from the corner and fired a cross-ice pass to Ryan Carrigan who banged home the pass to cut the lead to 2-1. |

DeHart would convert a pass from Rob Garish on the power play. Next after Township turned the puck over, DeHart jumped on a loose puck and his wrist shot beat Colin Sheridan who was in nets for the Minutemen. |

Event Spotlight: Friday, November 22, 2002 By Patrick Williams PHILADELPHIA - Maybe the Phantoms should hit the open market more often. The acquisition of Peter White on November 12 certainly has lent an offensive side to the once-anemic Philadelphia offense. White's goal 2:38 into overtime put the Phantoms past the Milwaukee Admirals, 6-5, last night at the First Union Spectrum. The goal, White's third of the game, came when Milwaukee allowed White out of their sight. White took Mark Greig's pass to the slot and caught Milwaukee goaltender Jan Lasak with a shot. But the shot glanced off Lasak's left shoulder and into the net. |

Thursday, November 21, 2002 By Crystal Parker Ocean City and Moorestown played as hard as they could for as long as they could in their State 3 semi-finals game at Highland High School. After neither team could score in regulation or the overtime period, it was a shame that either team had to lose this defensive battle. Both of these teams had not lost a single game this season until today. Ocean City (22-0-1) keeper Gwen Hunter kept all three shot attempts from entering the cage by the Lady Quakers to preserve a 3-0 penalty shot victory. |

High School Ice Hockey: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 By Mike Costantino As we reach the halfway point of the SJHSIHL season, there are a few surprises, mostly in Tier 2. With so many Tier 2 teams, thirteen in all, there are two divisions, the Olympic and American. Cherry Hill East, previously a Tier 1 team, leads the American and St. John Neumann also a previous Tier 1 team, leads the Olympic division. Last years champion of Tier 2, West Deptford has struggled and just recently won their first game. Tier 1 has only five teams since Washington Township left to compete in another league. In an effort to have the five schools in Tier 1 compete at that level, the league has scheduled crossover games with schools from Pennsylvania. |

Monday, November 18, 2002 By Mike Costantino Danny Meyers stopped 34 shots and Sean Sullivan scored two goals as Eastern rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Cherokee 3-2 in Tier 1 action at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. After a scoreless first period that saw Cherokee out-shoot Eastern 10-5, Tim Missel dug the puck out from the corner and fed Tom Conner in front. His quick shot beat Meyers to the short side and Cherokee led 1-0 twenty seconds into the second period. With the Eastern offense struggling to generate scoring chances, Meyers kept his team in the game. At the ten- minute mark Cherokee's Connelly broke in alone and after Meyers stoned him, Dan Altieri deposited the rebound and Cherokee led 2-0.
