High School Football:
Homecoming Game a Big Success for Winslow Township

Saturday, October 7, 2006

By Clark Washington
SJSports Special Correspondent

All of the preparation throughout the week done for a homecoming game can be exciting and a bit of a distraction for some of the players with so much emphasis focused on this high school event. On the other side of this situation, a player could be completely focused on their objective with this game and get pumped up knowing that a large crowd will be watching. The Eagles from Winslow Township definitely would achieve their goals as they were able to contain the powerful offensive minded Chargers from Timber Creek. In a battle between two teams from the Burlington/Olympic Liberty Division, the Eagles dominated both sides of the ball and were able to come away with the 30-0 victory. Ruben Johnson had two rushing touchdowns for Winslow Township.

Lynx Terminate New Jersey; Advance to Second Round of Playoffs

Saturday, October 7, 2006

South Jersey Lynx Staff

In a very familiar scene this season, the South Jersey Lynx and the New Jersey Terminators gave each other all they can handle on the gridiron. And as it has been all season long, the outcome did not change. The Lynx took their first step in their quest for a championship, as they held on for a 27-16 win in the first round of the NAFL playoffs on Saturday night at the Church Street Fields in Williamstown. Marty Cross, who was one of many Lynx players snubbed this week when the league announced its All-Star roster, had a brilliant game. The veteran quarterback rushed for a score, threw two touchdowns, and hauled in a touchdown reception for South Jersey (10-0), which improved to 10-0 and in the process defeated New Jersey for the third time this season and sixth straight time.

In an important Tri-County Conference Royal Division game against Cumberland, Highland would post a 2-1 victory and pull within one game of evening their record to the five hundred level.

Triton's Early Success Enough against Pennsauken

Tuesday, October 3, 2006

By George Brookings
SJSports Special Correspondent

In the Olympic Conference Patriot Division, every team by now knows that the Renegades from Shawnee's boys' soccer team have started out this season undefeated through nine games. Every game on their schedule, especially against teams from that division, is important to come away with the win and stay above five hundred percentage record. That scenario would set up today's match up between the Mustangs from Triton hosting Pennsauken. The Mustangs would score three times during the first half and led by two at the break. Pennsauken's efforts would come up short during the second half and Triton would pick up the 4-3 victory and earn an important division win.
