Friday, January 21, 2005 By Mike Costantino Jeff Scully scored two goals and Timber Creek got contributions from all three lines in defeating Cinnaminson 6-4 and win their first game of the season. With fifteen underclassmen on their roster and the return of Tier 2 next season, Timber Creek hockey should be on the rise. After Scully scored two minutes into the game, Cinnaminson tied the score as Justin Fillmyer scored on a backhander to the short-side. Scully put Timber Creek back on top at the nine-minute mark on a feed from Ryan Johnson. |

Tuesday, January 18, 2005 By Jerome Michaels It's always easier to say what needs to be done in order to win a game, but doing it is another story. Burlington City just happened to execute the game plan by jumping out to an early lead and switching the tempo of what was supposed to be a very close game into their favor. Westampton Tech had won their first 9 games to start the season and the Blue Devils would move into first place in the Burlington County Patriot Division with a win. City's first quarter success was the key to their 69-46 win against the Panthers. |

Monday, January 17, 2005 By Susan Hall It was a girl's basketball tournament that gave teams an opportunity to compete against an opponent that they normally wouldn't have played. Gloucester defeating Riverside in overtime, Sacred Heart losing to Morris Catholic, Rancocas Valley falling to Trenton Central, and then there was the battle of the undefeated. Both Camden Catholic and Willingboro had played perfect team basketball but in this game, one team had to lose. After a very close first half battle, Camden Catholics would pull away in the third quarter outscoring the Chimeras by twelve points. Rashidat Junaid was the difference in this game scoring her 1000th career point leading the Irish to a 68-56 victory over Willingboro. |

Monday, January 17, 2005 By Mike Costantino Terry Brennan scored twice as Moorestown continued its winning ways with a convincing 6-1 victory over Paul VI in high school ice hockey action at the Igloo in Mt. Laurel. Brennan led a balanced attack as five different players scored for Moorestown. Paul VI in their final regular season appearance played well for the first ten minutes of the game, but frustration seem to grow as the game wore on. After Brennan scored at the three-minute mark on a nifty move along the left circle, Paul VI responded on the power play as Rich Ferro feathered a cross-ice pass to Dustin Isbert in front and his goal tied the score at 1-1. That was the extent of the offense for Paul VI despite eleven power play opportunities, they were only able to cash in once and that was the difference in the game. |
