South Jersey Soccer: Saturday, June 24, 2000 By Forrest Robleto The South Jersey Barons lost their top scorer to the Delaware Wizards. Matt Miles showed up for the match up between the South Jersey Barons and the Delaware Wizards but he showed up for the wrong team. Apparently Matt Miles left the team due to a falling out with Coach Matt Driver. Neither of then would reveal much about the move, but the scuttlebutt around the field was that it had something to do with a disagreement about how Matt was being played. The consensus was that the Barons (7-3) might have a tough time against the (4-4) Wizards with Miles on their side, and that Matt might score a few goals. It wasn't to be. Matt got a goal and an assist and an ejection. |

| South Jersey Soccer: Hurricanes Quiet Storm Sunday, March 12, 2000 By Jerry Amari A soccer match played in early March usually means one thing, a lot of wind.
