High School Football:
Stifling Defense Gives Delsea a Running Victory

SJSports Special Correspondent

The first half of this game looked as if Delsea's football team was playing perfect football on both sides of the ball. The Crusaders offense was able to move the ball, at will, down behind the running of Darnell Ellie and Josh Reimel. But in this game against the Spartans from Deptford High School, the Delsea defense took control of this game only allowing a fourth quarter touchdown. The Crusaders' long scoring drives chewed up valuable time off the clock allowing Delsea to post a 28-8 road victory.

This was a very close battle despite what the scoreboard showed at the end of this game. Both teams had trouble sustaining a scoring drive initially as the defense took center stage in an Olympic Conference Patriot Division game between the Irish from Camden Catholic hosting the Pirates from Cinnaminson.

Nick Cangelosi would have a good day moving the ball in the air and on the ground as he led Camden Catholic to a 23-0 win over the Pirates.
