This game had all the makings of a great contest and neither team would disappoint their fans. In a penalty-filled up and down game, skating and hard hitting was the key for both clubs.

Camden Catholic Uses Big Plays To Defeat Eustace

Saturday, October 17, 1998

By Art Redd
SJSports Staff Writer

If you thought that the opening play of the Camden Catholic at Bishop Eustace football game was an indication of a high scoring game, then your guess would be right. Both teams were able to score at will and defense was not much of a factor. Camden Catholic's J.P. Hammond took the opening kickoff 88 yards for the early lead. Bishop Eustace then countered with an early touchdown of their own, but it was the Irish who got the final score with just under a minute left in the game. Camden Catholic would get their first victory of the season by defeating the Crusaders 42-38.

Tough Stretch For Edgewood

Friday, October 16, 1998

By Boog Williams
SJSports Staff Writer

On October 15, the Edgewood boy's soccer team lost at Triton 3-1. The Edgewood Eagles dominated the first half, but the score at the end of the half was 1-1. Scott Hart scored the Triton goal with an assist to TJ Durham. Brandon Cohen scored Edgewood's goal with an assist to Chris Blackmore. Some of the fans (fans will be fans) said that the second goal for Triton was questionable. Nick Satieti, with a volley, scored the goal, assisted by Mario Sergi. After that goal, Edgewood's coach Ron Wence said that the team could not regroup and had trouble defending without Mike Muckley (sitting out for a red card against Highland).

Just when the game started, Meridith Sobel took control of the ball and passed it to Christy Madden. Madden then made a beautiful shot into the net. Shawnee's keeper never had a chance. This all happened with 1:32 seconds into the first half. Although the Renegades would put up tremendous pressure for the rest of the game the only other goal was on a direct kick from Jen Padlo.

As I read article after article on strength and conditioning for high school student-athletes, I see an alarming trend. Flexibility is not being stressed like I would hope. If utilized properly, "flex time" could be quite beneficial to the overall practice.
