Cherry Hill East went to Moorestown and took control right at the beginning of the game for a 56-46 victory.

The Cougars created turnovers and pulled ahead with mostly 3 pointers to give them a lead they never relinquished. Cherry Hill East improved their record to 13-9 while Moorestown dropped to 13-8. Both teams were already selected to participate in the state playoffs.
