Edgewood Honors Undefeated 1969 Team

Saturday, October 30, 1999

By Boog Williams
SJSports Staff Writer

The new head coach of Edgewood, Coach Derryk Sellers, said that he wanted to bring back some of the tradition of Edgewood football, and he did. In early September, he went into the gym, looked up at the banners, and saw that in 1969 the football team was 9-0. He went to the Athletic Director, Mr. Frank Panhuise, and asked if the school could bring back the players from that 1969 team.

It was a very warm day, the sun was shining, and it was Homecoming for Edgewood High School. What a great day for Homecoming, and to honor the 9-0 Football Team from 1969. It should have been an easy day for Edgewood, but Bishop Eustace did their best to not let that happen.

Paul VI And Cherry Hill East Play To Scoreless Tie In Warm-up For Playoffs

Saturday, October 30, 1999

By Forrest Robleto
SJSports Staff Writer

The Paul VI Lady Eagle's came into this game with a very impressive 14-0-1 record. Cherry Hill East's 9-3-1, while not shabby certainly made them the underdogs. Brian Sheehan, the coach of the Eagles, expected a good game against a "quality" team. But he expected to win. The Eagles were playing without Jill McKeever (injury) and the Cougars were playing without Meredith Sobel. This game was a makeup game for a regular season game that was cancelled due to weather. The teams meet again on Friday (November 5). The teams played through 80 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes (2 - 10 minute) of overtime without scoring, but not without excitement.

By Art Redd
SJSports Staff Writer

The meeting between the Pennsauken Indians visiting the Overbrook Rams was a very important game with the playoffs coming up soon. This game got little attention, but was a big game for both of these teams. Each team had something to gain in this Olympic Conference matchup. The Rams needed this game to stay alive for the playoffs. After an extremely close and defensive first half, one big play proved to be the key to Pennsauken defeating the Rams 14-6 to capture the Patriot Division championship.

High School Ice Hockey:
Township's Balanced Attack Too Much For Lancers

Friday, October 29, 1999

By Mike Costantino
SJSports Staff Writer

Six different players scored for Washington Township as they skated by Holy Cross 7-1 in a SJHSIHL game contested at Hollydell on Friday night. After spotting Holy Cross a 1-0 lead on a soft goal scored from about fifty feet in the first minute of the game, Township would dominate for the next forty-four minutes. The Minutemen would fire sixty-three shots on goal to just seven for the Lancers, and if not for the outstanding and courageous play of Holy Cross goaltender Brian Holland, the score would have been a lot worse.

Sixteen minutes into the game Rachael Sterling fed a near perfect pass to Amanda, the younger Kravitz, who beat Betsy Kennedy the Delran keeper to take a one to nothing lead. Delran then turned up the heat and the rest of the first half was fairly even. Cherry Hill led in shots 6-3 for the half.
