Saturday, January 18, 2003 By Anton Figg What a game. Camden-Wilson, Hatfields-McCoys, you get the picture, the game lived up to it's billing. Playing at Rutgers-Camden before a packed house, the two teams squared off in a game that was hotly contested from the start, and would not be decided until very late in the game. The teams came out ready to play, there was very little hesitation and both teams were ready and brought their "A" games. Camden's Shomari Moore and Woodrow Wilson's Kris Polk were going at each other and also working to get other players involved, proved to be the match up that attracted the most attention. |

Saturday, January 18, 2003 By Anton Figg In a game that had little suspense, the Woodrow Wilson Tigers went out and put on a display of basketball that people have come to expect from them. Playing a Camden High team that was overmatched, the Lady Tigers roared to a 93-26 win. The score could have easily been in the triple digits; an act of compassion by the Wilson coaching staff prevented it from happening. |

Unkle Jim Vandermeer and Joe Sacco scored their first goals as Philadelphia Flyers and Chris Therien score his first goal of the season in a 3-1 win in front of 19,290 fans at the First Union Center. Both teams suffered defeats at the hands of the NHL’s worst team, the Atlanta Thrashers in their last outing. Maybe both teams were looking forward to tonight’s game as the Flyers fell 7-4 here Monday night and the Canadiens were shutout 1-0 in Atlanta last night. |

Thursday, January 16, 2003 By Crystal Parker It was a game that was marked down on the schedule as a classic match up against two teams that were undefeated in the Tri-County Conference Liberty Division. The Lady Rams traveled to Highland High School, which the Lady Tartans were not very hospitable hosts. Crashing the boards on both ends of the court proved to be too much for Gloucester Catholic to handle. Add the long range shooting from Lisa Steele, Danielle Hemerka and Stacy Digneo, Highland put this game away in the first quarter setting the tone for the rest of the way. Head coach Dan McGettigan watched his team post a 51-22 victory and remain undefeated for the season. |

The Red Raiders, after beginning the season with three reasonable easy wins, have had two nail-biting endings resulting in two point victories. A determined Panther’s team had a chance to send this Colonial Conference game into overtime on a buzzer beater, but the attempt was rejected to preserve an 88-85 win at Collingswood High School. Russell Carter came up big for the Red Raiders blocking Joey Soto’s game-tying attempt. |

As a team, the Minutemaids converted 11 out of 14 free throw attempts down the stretch to preserve their 54-42 road win. |
