Most of South Jersey's High Schools were busy taking the Scholastic Achievement Test this morning and pushed those classic football battles into the afternoon. It seemed as if Highland did their homework on their opponents as they were in control the whole game. The Tartans eliminated all of the Edgewood Eagles' strengths and went on to a 24-9 Olympic Conference Patriot Division victory.

Eastern Showcases Dominance Against Cherokee

Saturday, October 9, 1999

These are dark days indeed for the Cherokee faithful. Not since the dark ages when the Rheumatic fever ran amuck, or the crash of Wall Street, or somebody grabbing that last burger off of the grill, have things looked so bleak for the Cherokee Chiefs. On the other hand, the newly ranked and well-deserved Eastern Vikings put on a dazzling display of football to showcase their success. Eastern dominated the Chiefs, here in Evesham, by notching their forth victory of the year with a powerful 49-7 victory.

At the other end Carolyn Snyder, who played the first half for Cherry Hill, didn't see the ball at all and Emily Brenner who played the second half with most of East's starters out, faced only five shots.

By Jay Clay

Things are looking up for the Overbrook Boys Soccer team this year. After a tough season last year the Rams could only improve upon their 3-13-2 record. After nine games, the Rams are already 3-4-2, with three of their losses to the #1, #2 and #3 teams in South Jersey (Shawnee, Cherokee and Cherry Hill East). The only loss that really hurt was their 3-2 loss in overtime at home to Cherry Hill West (also a contender for the conference).
