Event Spotlight: Sunday, January 26, 2003 By Patrick Williams Yesterday's 3-1 Phantoms loss to the Utah Grizzlies contained some key distinctions between the two clubs: The Phantoms were not the team that traveled overnight from Massachusetts. Utah was. The Phantoms were not the team missing two key regulars (Eric Landry and David Oliver). Utah was. The Phantoms were not the team criss-crossing the continent in the midst of a two-week road trip. Utah was. Instead, the Phantoms followed their usual script: Fall behind early. Get into penalty trouble. Get outworked before the opponent seals up another victory. |

Saturday, January 25, 2003 By Art Redd Playing at home against a team that has been rolling past their opponents, Sterling needed someone to come up big against the Lady Garnets from Haddon Heights. Freshman forward Kate Brennan and sophomore guard Amanda Brennan took control when it counted late in the fourth quarter to stunned Heights winning by three points, 45-42. Kate Brennan lined up her shot from 20 feet away to snap a tie with just over a minute and a half remaining in the game. That three pointer put the Lady Knights up for good to move one step closer to the division leaders. |

Friday, January 24, 2003 By Jerome Michaels Riverside has been working hard trying to get a winning streak going so far this season.

Standing in their way was a determined Granville Charter boy's basketball team who overcame a double digital lead to send this non-league contest into overtime. This time, Darryl Canty's 26 points helped the home team get by Granville 73-69. |

Thursday, January 23, 2003 By Susan Hall There are always one or two players on the team that you can always count on to take the big shot to win the game. When you have more than one player who can at least get open to take that open shot, it can only lead to success. It's no secret that Nicole Jones can dominate a game, but it is evident that the entire squad gets the create for the Lady Garnets winning ways. In a very competitive game, the Lady Lions from Lindenwold put up a great fight but loss to Haddon Heights by a score of 47-42. |

The Chimeras' intensity definitely controlled this game giving them the 76-50 victory at home over the leaders of the Burlington County Liberty Division. With the win, Willingboro extended their winning streak to six games. |

Tuesday, January 21, 2003 By Charlie Barker The Tri-County Classic Division has always been a good place for competitive basketball, and was made even more interesting this year with the addition of Wildwood. The Warriors travelled to Gloucester City on Tuesday night sitting on top of the division with a half game lead over Salem after losing a tough game to the Rams last Friday. Gloucester City likewise was a half game back and looking to move up to the top after a disappointing loss to Schalick on Friday. |

Monday, January 20, 2003 By Mike Costantino Kevin Desrochers scored three goals as Cherry Hill East shut out St. John Neumann 5-0 and finish the season without a loss. The two teams will meet again for the Tier 2 championship on Friday night January 31 at Hollydell. Neumann will have that long to figure out how to generate more offense, as they had a season low ten shots on goal. After a scoreless first period, East scored three goals in a span of four minutes to take control of the game. |

Monday, January 20, 2003 By Mike Costantino Chris Riggs had two goals and Mike Sullivan added a goal and two assists to help Clearview defeat Eastern 5-3 at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. With the win, Clearview clinched first place in Tier 1 and the number 2 seed for the upcoming double elimination tournament. Both teams were missing key players. Eastern was without Sean Sullivan and John Piermetti while Clearview skated without David Gooch and Jon Probe. Not having his two top scorers, Coach Sullivan needed contributions from his second and third lines along with strong goaltending and that's exactly what he got. |
