Wednesday, April 11, 2007 By Clark Washington It's a situation that most baseball players put themselves in and that is to come up to the plate with a chance to win the game for your team. When the Red Devils from Penns Grove held a one run lead at the start of the bottom of the sixth inning, Gloucester Catholic would get two runners on base with Matt Umba looking to pick up another key hit to drive in another run. This time, Umba nailed a three run homerun for the Rams to re-take the lead. Gloucester Catholic would give up a run during the seventh inning but they would come away with a 5-4 victory and pick up their third win of the season. |

Tuesday, April 3, 2007 By Susan Hall It was a match-up between two of the most dominating pitchers in the area. Camden Catholic's Alyssa O'Connell versus Gloucester Catholic's Brittney Carosia received most of the attention on this day as the Lady Rams were looking to pick up their second win in the road this time at Camden Catholic. The Lady Irish would gain the early momentum in this game, but a close play at home quickly swung this game in favor of the visiting team. A key hit by Shauna Vennell provided only run of the game for Gloucester Catholic and the Lady Rams would pick up the 1-0 victory in a non-league game. |

Saturday, June 3, 2006 By Vincent Lewis It was a game that appeared to be in the grasp of their opponent. For most of this South Jersey Non-Public B semifinals game played in Brooklawn, the Rams from Gloucester Catholic clearly had the momentum and a five run lead over Bishop Eustace with two more innings remaining. The Rams, who were the second seed in the bracket, scored in four of the first five innings demonstrating their ability to produce runs. Third seeded Bishop Eustace's momentum slowly increased and rallied for five runs, which included Dewey Oriente's three run triple, during their last two at bats to send this game into extra innings. Relief pitcher Andrew Del Rossi continued to keep the Rams off the scoreboard giving the Crusaders a chance to win this semifinals game. Mike Plakis' solo home run during the ninth proved to be the game winner and Bishop Eustace advanced to the finals with a 13-10 win. |

Wednesday, May 24, 2006 By Jerome Michaels If it wasn't for that uncharacteristic loss during the Diamond Classic, Gloucester Catholic wouldn't have to prove themselves again that they were the same team that won some many games. In the South Jersey Non-Public B bracket, the second seeded Rams were hosting Mater Dei who was the seventh seed. In a pitcher's duel that advanced to extra innings, starting pitcher Matt Blackburn knew he had to continue pitching well after giving up late in the game. Still on the mound after keeping Mater Dei off the scoreboard during their top half of the eighth inning, Gloucester Catholic was able to score the winning run off of an error. The Rams 3-2 victory now advances them to the semi-finals. |

Wednesday, May 10, 2006 By Jerome Michaels It was the day after the highly anticipated non-league game against West Deptford was over. The Rams from Gloucester Catholic had defeated the undefeated Eagles the night before and had to put that game behind them has they were hosting yet another successful baseball team. The Crusaders from Delsea found out quickly how focused a baseball team can be. The Rams jumped out to a seven run lead after the first two innings were completed and continued to separate themselves from their opponent. When this game ended, Gloucester Catholic had picked up their eleventh win in a row by defeating the Crusaders by a 13-3 margin. |

Wednesday, April 5, 2006 By Susan Hall The Lady Rams from Gloucester Catholic has started out the season with two exciting games against very good teams. Starting pitcher Brittney Carosia had to battle Nicole Ayres and the Deptford Spartans on Monday and today's game was against Amanda Branco and the Highland Tartans. A dramatic come from behind victory during the bottom of the seventh inning against Deptford gave the Rams the opening day victory. This time, Gloucester Catholic would give Carosia a two run lead early and the Rams would pick up the 3-1 victory in a Tri-County Conference Royal Division softball game. |

Saturday, February 18, 2006 By Susan Hall The Lady Blue Devils from Hammonton had another opportunity to pick up another win this season during the girls' basketball Ventnor City Shootout held at the Ventnor Education and Community Complex. Their opponent, the Rams from Gloucester Catholic, had the task of trying to contain Katie Piekielski who had the ability to gain position inside for the easy basket. Hammonton would control the game by staying one step ahead of the Rams at both ends of the court. The Blue Devils would roll onto their 39-29 victory and pick up their thirteenth win of the season. |

Thursday, November 17, 2005 By Susan Hall There were eleven girls on the soccer field who just couldn't wait until the final moments for their state championship game to end. With a three goal lead in the Non-Public B state finals, Gloucester Catholic had to wait before they could really celebrate their successful undefeated season. When the remaining seconds did tick away, the players and coaches from the bench all met together to let their emotions express their feelings about defeating Villa Walsh 3-0 for the state championship. This game would be played under the lights at The College of New Jersey and it was a nice place to finalize their 22-0 record. |

Thursday, November 10, 2005 By Susan Hall When the post season begins and the seeding are announced, the players from participating teams can't help but notice where they are and if they are in the same bracket as the number one seeded team. But when you are the number one team, the focus switches to defending that status as opposing teams are emotionally looking to remove that ranking by ending their season. The Lady Rams from Gloucester Catholic were the number one seeded team from the South Jersey Non-Public Group B tournament hosting St. Rose in the finals. In a defensive battle, it only took one goal to win this game and Jennie Vartebedian would come up with the lone goal for Gloucester Catholic. The Rams will now travel to the College of New Jersey to a state final game against Villa Walsh. |

Friday, November 4, 2005 By Jason Brown The South B bracket of the Central Jersey Group I boy’s soccer tournament definitely proves that on any given day, a true upset can happen. Bishop Eustace has proven all season long that they are a group that play well together as a single unit and win. Gloucester Catholic had put together a season winning those games they needed to qualify for the tournament. The Rams’ effort early on rewarded them with a one goal lead that they were able to hold off the Crusaders relentless efforts to tie this game. Two halves of keeper T.J. Delengowski coming up with save after save allow Gloucester Catholic to advance to the next round. |

Saturday, October 22, 2005 By Jerome Michaels The way this game started out, it looked as if the Spartans from Deptford would be victims of Gloucester Catholic’s controlled running game. The Rams held onto the football during the game’s opening drive for just about all of the first quarter. Deptford’s bend don’t break defense would be able to dig their cleats deep into the mud and prevent the Rams from scoring on that drive. Both teams would score second quarter touchdowns, but it wasn’t until the second half that halfback Ryan Leafey scored his second and third rushing touchdowns of the game and pull away from Gloucester Catholic. Deptford would pick up their fifth victory of the season with their 28-13 victory over the Rams. |

Saturday, September 17, 2005 By Jerome Michaels There's always that debate amongst fans about which part of a football team really decides the outcome of a game. Sure the quarterback gets most of the credit handing the ball to the runningbacks or passing it to a receiver. Then there's the discussion about the defense and their ability to stop the opposing offense. So when Williamstown traveled to Gloucester to take on the Rams from Gloucester Catholic, it was those guys in the trenches that really made the difference in this game. The offensive line for the Braves allowed Tyrone Pouncy and Mark Masterson to rush for two touchdowns against Gloucester Catholic. The defense allowed only one first half touchdown and Williamstown picked up the victory by a 26-8 margin for an opening day win. |

Tuesday, September 13, 2005 By Boog Williams Gloucester Catholic High School girls' soccer team rolled to a 6-0 win against Overbrook in a Tri-County Conference Royal Division match. Gloucester Catholic dominated the game with great passing. You could hear the Overbrook fan's saying do our girls ever get to touch the ball. Some were talking about how they (Catholic) always had the triangle set up to give great passes. |

Saturday, September 10, 2005 By Vincent Lewis High school football had finally begun giving everyone another avenue of taking their mind off of the ridiculous gasoline prices that have hit our country. Enjoying, ironically, beautiful sunshine and pleasant temperatures, the Highland Tartans were hosting the Rams from Gloucester Catholic in a Tri-County Conference Royal Division game. Both teams would score rushing touchdowns in a penalty filled opening quarter, but began to execute textbook football the rest of the way. Highland would bounce back from a four point deficit and win this game in the fourth quarter by a 42-32 score. |

Tuesday, May 10, 2005 By Susan Hall Two teams that were right in the middle of the standings making a push towards the playoffs were the Lady Pioneers from Clearview and the visiting Lady Rams from Gloucester Catholic. Clearview had won the first meeting between these two teams representing the Tri-County League Royal Division and needed to repeat their performance in order to pick up the all important win. Clearview would hold a brief one run lead heading into the middle innings only to see Gloucester Catholic rally during the third and fourth innings. Those runs were just enough for Brittany Carosina to pick up the win by defeating Clearview by an 8-6 margin. |

Thursday, November 25, 2004 By Jason Brown It's always special when these two teams meet on the field, but it was something else that brought these two football teams from Gloucester together on Thanksgiving Day. The game was being played in honor of Marine Corporal Marc Ryan who was killed in action in Iraq. The former Gloucester player had his number 19 placed on the field for all to salute at the beginning of the game. When the opening whistle was blown to start this game, Gloucester Catholic broke open a close game during the third quarter and never looked back. The Rams from Gloucester Catholic cruised to a 40-14 victory. |
