Saturday, February 15, 2003 By Vincent Lewis St. Joseph High School has a duel that can demonstrate how easy it looks to shoot the ball from long range with ease. Tim Burns and Aaron Spellman had the shooter’s touch knocking down their jumpers against the Cougars from Cherry Hill West. After being down by three points to start the second half, the Wildcats put some distance between them and Cherry Hill West during the next three quarters. Burns would lead all scorers with 37 points for St. Joseph as they defeated the Cougars by an 81-63 margin. |

Friday, February 14, 2003 By Vincent Lewis The Life Center Academy boy's basketball team again has won the Penn-Jersey Athletic Association title. The high school team from Burlington has been racking up the wins against just a few teams from South Jersey, but most of their victories against programs from Pennsylvania, New York and North/Central Jersey. No matter where they have played, it seems as if they usually walk away off the court with the win. Mercer Christian Academy were the Warriors latest victims doubling up the score winning 106-47. Say what you have to say about the opponents that they play against, but there is no doubt that they have some serious talent on the team. |

Thursday, February 13, 2003 By Jerome Michaels When the Hornets from Pemberton met Holy Cross at their first game, the Hornets were right in the middle of their seven game winning streak to start the season. Pemberton won that game against the Lancers but hit a bump in the road losing their next six games. Holy Cross, before this game, had loss four out of their last five games and was looking to win this Burlington County Liberty Division matchup. Holy Cross would even the series as they won a tight game by a 52-50 score. Mike Coppola led all scorers with 22 points for the Lancers. |

Tuesday, February 11, 2003 By Vincent Lewis It's always a good feeling knowing the pressure is off after clinching a playoff position right before the cutoff date. Both Gloucester Catholic and Williamstown will be representing their schools in March when other teams season will have ended. After Gloucester Catholic recorded their 46-35 victory, it would be a split for the season as both teams won their game on the other team's home court. The Rams' defense keyed the win in the final quarter. |

Tuesday, February 11, 2003 By Susan Hall It was another one of those classic match-ups from the Tri-County Conference Classic Division against two successful girl's basketball teams. The much-improved Lady Wolverines from Woodstown were sitting in second place just one game ahead of Gloucester City in the standings. Gloucester City (12-6) had beaten Woodstown earlier in the season and was looking to end their four game winning streak. It wasn’t easy as the Lions overcame a 3-point deficit to win the game 46-43 in front of their home crowd. |
