Saturday, September 27, 2003 By Jerome Michaels It was a lead that seemed to be enough to give their team the confidence they needed to win this game. But no lead is safe especially when there’s still two more quarters of football to play. Burlington Township scored all of their points in the second quarter and took that lead into the locker room at the half. Bordentown began to chip away from their 20-point deficit, but came up short. The Scotties efforts to pick up their second win of the season fell short. Burlington Township would hold on to the 20-14 Burlington Olympic Conference meeting. |

Saturday, September 27, 2003 By Art Redd It was quite simple what the game plan was Saturday morning at Woodbury High School. A steady dose of the Thundering Herd’s running back attack until it wore down their opponent’s defense, giving way to let Marvin McKinnie and Chris Pressley do what they do best. It took some time and once the Herd was in motion, Haddon Heights was unable to stop Woodbury for overcoming an early 7-point deficit. Pressley scored 3 times in the second half and compiled 129 yards rushing to lead Woodbury to a 27-7 victory. McKinnie was all over the place both on offense, defense and special teams. |

Friday, September 26, 2003 By Gregory "Graig" White Football is a game of inches; in this case 72 inches, or 2 yards, that was the distance Nathaniel Brown had to travel to go for the winning touchdown. Camden and Cherry Hill West met in an afternoon game that showed how far the teams had come. Camden rolled up 410 yards in total offense and at times looked really good doing it. Cherry Hill West, whose offense was not nearly as cohesive, found a way to claw, scratch and find itself in the game well into the fourth quarter. |

Thursday, September 25, 2003 By Vincent Lewis The coaching staff on the sideline of Camden Catholic remained calm when the start of this game looked as if the upset-minded Pirates from Cinnaminson might have the emotional edge after scoring on their first play of the game. Their patience was tested up until the second quarter when the Irish offense finally kicked into high gear and then never looked back after breaking the seven all tie. Runningback Mike McIlwain scored twice, quarterback Sean Scanlon threw for one and scored a touchdown himself and the defense got into the scoring act posting a 48-13 road victory. |

Monday, September 22, 2003 By Crystal ParkerSJSports Staff Writer It was a scene that expressed how tough this girl’s soccer competition really was for two halves. One team elated that they had won a one-goal game, the other feeling disappointed that this would have been a different game if it weren’t for the crossbar. Shawnee (2-1) would travel to Ocean City to take on the Lady Red Raiders in a non-league game. After neither team would score in the first half, each team picked up the intensity and shots on goal. Katie Royman made good on her opportunity and scored the game’s only goal for the Lady Renegades. |

Monday, September 22, 2003 By Patrick Williams It’s a neon yellow boxy device – weighing a few ticks under seven pounds -- but for a ballplayer who just took a line drive to the chest, the equipment can be a lifesaver. A baseball striking the chest on a line drive back to the mound at a velocity as low as 30 miles per hour can wreak severe damage on the chest and heart. Among the potential effects of a baseball to the chest is the disruption of the electrical conduction of the heart, which will send the body into cardiac arrest. Take a line drive to the chest and death is possible, if not probable. Eighty-four percent of people die if left untreated, according to a March 2002 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. |
