Saturday, November 1, 2003 By Vincent Lewis For the seventh time this season, the much-improved Rams from Overbrook and the Rams from Gloucester Catholic were participating in yet another divisional football game. Every game this season has been against another team from their Tri-County Royal division making each game all that important to win. Needing a win desperately, the Gloucester Catholic Rams proved that they could win that big game. After trailing by a touchdown, Catholic scored two-second quarter touchdowns and posted a 22-13 win to clinch a playoff position. |

Friday, October 31, 2003 By Jerome Michaels It was supposed to be a battle between two talented backs and a very competitive game that would possibly come down to a last second field goal or touchdown. Woodbury’s Chris Pressley and West Deptford’s Tom Walls have been giving defensive coordinators nightmares on how to contain them from picking up huge amount of yards against opposing defenses. The Eagles forced three quick turnovers and the offense capitalized on each resulting in 21 points. Woodbury didn’t have a chance after that to recovery with West Deptford winning this Colonial Conference match up 38-6 Friday night. |

Thursday, October 30, 2003 By Susan Hall It was a day that the word unbeaten streak could be associated with the sport of field hockey through out the South Jersey area. Before the Lady Crusaders from Bishop Eustace were hosting Cherry Hill West in a match up between the first and second place team, you couldn’t help but wonder if the Eastern field hockey team were going to set a new unbeaten record at 107. During this Olympic Conference National Division competition, Bishop Eustace showed by they was the team in first place by using a balanced attack shutting out the Cougars. Three different players scored for Bishop Eustace as the cruised to a 3-0 win. |

Team Conditioning Systems: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 By Gregory "Graig" White Thank you Briana Scurry. I picked one of the local papers last week and saw an articled called “Goalie rededicates herself and returns to star status.” It was a story about how Scurry worked herself back into the national soccer picture by participating in a working out. She talked when she played in the 1999 World Cup Games, she did “enough training just to be better than everybody else.” For what its worth makes sense, but after the tournament ended, Scurry didn’t have much reason to be better than anyone else. When she went into the 2000 Olympics having worked out just before the games as hard as she could and was faced with a startling revelation, her best wasn’t good enough. She was named a backup for the team. |
