Tuesday, March 6, 2007 By Jerome Michaels It was a game that a lot of people wanted to see which team would come away with the win. The Camden Panthers and the Renegades from Shawnee took center stage competing for the South Jersey Group 3 title game played at Eastern High School. Shawnee had the momentum through three quarters and weren't quite able to complete put the game away. The Panthers would rally and tie this game during the fourth quarter with less than a minute and a half remaining.

Monday, March 5, 2007 By Jerome Michaels The third seeded Bulldogs from Haddonfield were out to prove that winning their past sectional group titles were not accomplished because of one dominated player.

Tuesday, February 6, 2007 By Jerome Michaels There has to be something said about a team who has loss their star player due to an injury right before the upcoming state's basketball tournament. The Lions from Cherry Hill West would have to find other ways of putting points on the scoreboard after senior guard Ian Davis broke his right hand last week.

Both teams struggled to convert on their scoring chances during the first half, but it would be the Chargers who would start the third quarter and take their first lead of the game.
