Both incumbents are keeping
their seats on the Voorhees Town-
ship Committee.
Democrats Michael Mignogna
(who is mayor) and Harry Platt
defeated Republicans Jody Raines
and Ron Richards.
The Camden County website
broke down the vote as follows:
Mignogna, 2,754; Platt, 2,700;
Richards, 2,058; and Raines, 2,065.
I was humbled by the over-
whelming show of support in the
election, Mignogna said. The
residents of Voorhees are well-in-
formed and intelligent.
They recognized the hard
work I have invested in our com-
munity to cut spending, generate
revenue and maintain the quality
of life the residents have come to
expect and deserve, he added.
The people of Voorhees heard
our message and share our vision
for the future of our township.
I think that the success in this
election can be attributed to the
programs and policies that I,
along with the rest of township
committee, have implemented
over the years, Platt said. Dur-
ing these difficult economic times
we are doing everything we can to
maintain services and maintain
the quality of life that Voorhees
residents deserve.
Raines said she doesnt consid-
er the fact that she and Richards
didnt win the campaign a failure.
We were able to share a mes-
sage that resonated with over 40
percent of the voters who went to
the polls, she said.
Frankly, we were competing
with the incumbents who have
both name recognition as well as
the opportunity to host and at-
tend civic events in a high profile
manner, Raines said. As an ex-
ample, the Voorhees Business As-
sociation featured the mayor as a
speaker just weeks before the
election. We obviously were not
afforded a similar opportunity.
She said they did accomplish
saving more than $40,000 annual-
ly for the taxpayers because she
asserts Mignogna and Platt
dropped their taxpayer-funded
personal health-care benefits in
October.
Whether they will re-initiate
the benefit is unknown, Raines
said. Obviously they felt it was
Mignogna
and Platt

Its that time of the year. Its
time for the eighth annual Sun
newspapers Deck the Paws and
Help a Collie holiday drive to aid
area animal shelters and rescue
groups.
And, again this year, we need
your help. More specifically, the
animals in the shelters need your
help.
This year, the drive will run
from the week of Nov. 28 through
Dec. 16.
As mentioned, we started this
effort way back in 2004. That year,
we had only a few drop spots, and
we collected a couple of carloads
of supplies.
All of that has changed. In re-
cent years, we have had 20-30
drop spots and have been able to
deliver about 25-30 carloads of
supplies to the shelters every hol-
iday season.
The animals in these shelters
are in a tough spot. Our goal al-
ways has been to lighten the bur-
den shelters and rescue groups
have to keep the animals fed and
comfortable. When the shelters
receive basics, such as food, blan-
kets and litter, they save money.
Thats money that can go toward
helping to find animals a perma-
nent home.
Want to help? Heres how it all
works:
Right now, we need to build a
list of drop spots. We need places
where people can go to drop off
food, cat litter, cleaning supplies
and everything else our local ani-
mal shelters need. If you dont
mind people showing up at your
door and dropping 40-pound bags
of dog food on your floor, we need
to hear from you.
In a couple of weeks, we will
publish a list of drop spots in our
newspapers and online. People
then will read the list, gather sup-
plies and take them to a drop
spot.
After that, the supplies are
picked up and taken to a shelter.
It all starts with the drop spots.
The more spots we have, the
more supplies we collect. More
drop spots mean a brighter holi-
day season for shelter animals.
If you want to be a drop spot,
or if you have questions, please
send an email to
alan@elauwit.com. Please put An-
imal Shelter Drive in the subject
line.

important enough to create an ad
that centered on the fact that they
were not taking these benefits,
even though the entire year prior,
they had personally benefitted
from them.
My running mate and I pre-
sented a clear, positive, four-point
plan that outlined exactly what
we would do if we were elected,
Richards said.
The campaign involved a
great deal of effort to get our posi-
tive message to the community
and make sure that those who
were either uninformed or misin-
formed heard the facts,
Mignogna said.
Fortunately, the campaign
this year was based strictly on the
issues, Platt said. Unfortunate-
ly there was a lot of misinforma-
tion presented regarding our
stand on the county police, our
municipal building and levels of
tax increases.
We were outspent by roughly
five-to-one and their campaign
dollars were contributions by the
vendors and companies which
had a vested interest to keep the
incumbents in power, Raines
said. On a positive note, we felt
that the campaign stayed prima-
rily on the issues and did not dis-
solve into personal attacks.
We were the two candidates
that were consistent in our mes-
sage, mail and advertising,
Richards said. We did question
our opponents actual results. We
did that without belittling their
character.

Discover why the course of
true love never did run smooth,
in Shakespeares comedic master-
piece, A Midsummer Nights
Dream, presented by the theater
department of Eastern Regional
High School. A Midsummer
Nights Dream is the first full-
length Shakespearean play direct-
ed by Dr. Gregg Molotsky, in his
16th year with the schools the-
ater program.
This is a demanding play that
challenges students to go beyond
reading Shakespeare to tackling
the literature as a script. As an
educator, I know that the cast and
crew will come away with a better
understanding of how the words
enrich the characters from the
best that the English language
has to offer, noted Molotsky.
Our biggest challenge is to show
students that Shakespeares lan-
guage is not an obstacle to learn-
ing, but rather an opportunity for
learning. In keeping with the
spirit of this traditional render-
ing of one of Shakespeares most
enduring plays, Eastern is part-
nering with the Collingswood
Shakespeare Company (CSC).
For each performance,
Collingswood Players will hold a
drawing for a pair of tickets to
the 2012 production of Much
Ado About Nothing and share
information on auditions to be
held Dec. 3. Collingswood Shake-
speare Company is excited to join
Easterns Theater Department in
reaching more of the South Jer-
sey community to promote appre-
ciation of Shakespeare, re-
marked CSC President Francesca
Pagell.
If you go: Performances are
Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m., and
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18 and
19 at 7:30 p.m., with a Saturday
matinee at 2 p.m. All performanc-
es take place at the Eastern Cen-
ter for the Performing Arts, 1401
Laurel Oak Road, Voorhees Ad-
mission is $6. Seats are reserved
for evening shows and are gener-
al admission for the Saturday
matinee. Box office hours are
available by calling 784-4441 ext.
6000, or students may purchase
tickets during the day at the East-
ern school store.
Mignogna said public safety
and protecting the environment
will continue to be at the forefront
of his mind.
Platt said that during the next
month the committee will be re-
viewing the plans for the
Voorhees Environmental Park on
Centennial Boulevard, working
on the figures for next years
budget, continue to work on con-
tracts, and continue to fine tune
the newly revamped township
website.
Ive never claimed to be a
politician, Raines said. I am
merely a resident who is tired of
the ongoing back room agree-
ments and overspending that
comes of any administration that
has been in power for 10 years
and which has escalated taxes
every single year, except this
year.
Richards said he will remain
active in the community as well.

T
hat Gov. Christie and the New
Jersey Education Association
dont see eye-to-eye on much of
anything is no secret. But, last week,
there was an encouraging sign from
the union.
The Associated Press reported that,
on the eve of the unions convention in
Atlantic City, it tossed out a few ideas
for reform. Thats a promising sign, as,
in the past, the union either has en-
trenched itself as an opponent to re-
form and change or has done a really
awful job of getting the word out about
what proposals it would support.
The result is that, for many, the per-
ception of the union is that it clings to
tenure to protect incompetent teach-
ers, is out of touch with todays eco-
nomic realities and is dedicated to pro-
tecting a status quo that no longer is
acceptable. Were not saying that per-
ception is right, but its a perception
that the NJEA really should address.
And last week, it did. Sort of.
According to the AP, the union fa-
vors making teachers eligible for
tenure after four years, instead of the
current three years. In the general
scope of things, thats a small conces-
sion, but a concession nonetheless,
and perhaps something that can be
used as a building block.
The group also called for requiring
full-day kindergarten and, no surprise
here, opposed using public funds to
pay for private education.
The NJEA would be well served to
acknowledge and then remedy the be-
lief of many that it has been tone-deaf
to the economic devastation that has
decimated many in the private sector.
It should do more to become a partner,
or to show that it is a partner, with tax-
payers and the communities they
serve.
Last weeks plans are a step in that
direction.
Heres a thought...
Teachers union offers some ideas of its own
NJEA ideas
Do you think that last weeks ideas
released by the NJEA will have an
impact on education?
Charter school will bring down
Voorhees public schools
As someone who has followed the devel-
opment of charter schools for more than a
decade, I have to admire the ingenuity of
many state governors and legislatures to
destroy and eventually privatize the public
schools. The states have learned from
Grover Norquist: Starve the Beast, the
Beast being government and schools.
First, transfer public money to private
schools, under the ruse that legally theyre
public charter schools. Complement this
with voucher plans, allowing parents to di-
vert even more money from public schools
to all kinds of private schools, including re-
ligious ones. Make sure that public schools
are so strapped for money that theyre
forced to shortchange children: no music,
no art, no drama, no sports, no enrich-
ment, no recess, no early intervention, no
small classes, no libraries, no librarians,
no counseling, no extra help, no remedia-
tion, no teacher supports, no, no, no. The
goals: Enrage parents, engage taxpayers,
defeat budget after budget, make the public
demand charter and other private school
placements.
Clearly, this is just a nasty fantasy, a
Machiavellian nightmare, the verbal mean-
derings of a paranoid political mind. No
its not. Its in the works. Its quietly hitting
Voorhees. In a month or two, it will ex-
plode.
Here are a few figures from the Voorhees
Township Board of Education: Voorhees
must give $727,472 to the Regis Academy
Charter School, a school over which
Voorhees taxpayers have no control, a
school they never voted for, a school they
must pay for. Similarly, if in January the
state approves the Creative Studies Char-
ter School, Voorhees will have to give it
some $1,911,598. (Given the political cli-
mate in Trenton, I suspect charters will get
every consideration.)
This means that in 2012-2013, the
Voorhees schools will not have $2,639,070 to
educate your children, but the two un-
proven charters will. And in the next few
years, as the Voorhees Township Public
Schools become economically and thus ed-
ucationally unfit, children will suffer,
teachers will be vilified, parents will be-
come enraged, more charters will arise,
profits will be made (as unproven manage-
ment companies enter the picture) and
Norquist and his political ilk will win.
Theyll have Starved the Beast.
And the collateral damage?
Your children and your property values.
The winners? Follow the money.
Is this farfetched? Is this paranoid? Ask
yourself: How can the Voorhees Township
Public Schools maintain excellence if it
loses $2,639,070 for the 2012-13 school year,
more for 2013-14, and even more for 2014-15?
Each year, will you support taxes to pay
for a district of diminishing ability and for
charter schools?

Cinnaminsons ballot included
man who wasnt running
A 23-year-old college student had his
name on the recent ballot for Cin-
naminsons township committee, even
though he isnt running. Hasnt been
for months.
Technically, Austin DArpino never
even finished the paperwork for it, the
non-candidate told Cinnaminson Patch.
Though DArpino had filed last
spring to run with Independent Scott
Lunn, the county clerk eventually con-
tacted him to say his paperwork was in-
complete.
By then, DArpino had decided not to
run anyway. So he just dropped it, and
he figured that was that.
When ballots arrived in Cinnamin-
son homes last week, there DArpino
was, listed under Lunn for the Account-
ability and Civility party.
By then his name could not be re-
moved, absentee ballots already having
gone out.

Teacher indicted
for molestation

Kathy Williams, regional vice
president of Weichert, Realtors,
is pleased to report that she, along
with 20 other riders representing
Weichert, Realtors South Jersey
region, recently participated in
the annual Bike MS: City to Shore
Ride to benefit the National Mul-
tiple Sclerosis Society.
The event, organized by the
Greater Delaware Valley Chapter
of the National MS Society, took
place over two days on Sept. 25
and 26 and featured over 7,000 cy-
clists of all ages and cycling abili-
ties. The funds raised during the
event go to support research, pro-
grams and services for people
with multiple sclerosis in the
Greater Delaware Valley region.
The Weichert, Realtors team,
organized by team captain Jen-
nean Veale of the Marlton office,
included representatives from the
Moorestown, Medford, Marlton
and Cherry Hill offices. Together
they raised in excess of $4,800 to
benefit the more than 13,000 local
residents living with MS.
My team and I are honored to
participate in an event that helps
battle this devastating and unpre-
dictable disease, said Williams.
Multiple sclerosis is a silent dis-
ease that routinely goes undiag-
nosed, and the Bike MS: City to
Shore Ride is an excellent oppor-
tunity to support families in our
area that are struggling with it.
By participating in this notewor-
thy event, it is our sincere hope
that we will help draw attention
to this wonderful organization
that is so diligently working to
find a cure.

Camden County freeholders
are moving forward with a renew-
able energy program through a
cooperative agreement with the
Camden County Improvement
Authority and the countys affili-
ated agencies.
Proposals are being requested
from developers for the installa-
tion of solar panels on buildings,
parking areas and land owned by
the county or its affiliated agen-
cies such as Camden County Col-
lege and the Camden County Li-
brary System.
The project proposes the devel-
opment of approximately 7
megawatts of energy which will
offset approximately 25 percent of
the energy costs. (One megawatt
is enough energy to power about
500 homes).
The project is a great public-
private partnership in that the
panels will be installed and
owned by a private developer,
with the County and its affiliated
agencies gaining the benefits of
the project through reduced ener-
gy usage and reduced energy
costs. The project would also cre-
ate jobs 30 jobs for every
megawatt of power which will
be a benefit to the local communi-
ties as well.
Camden County is taking the
steps needed to become more sus-
tainable through this initiative,
said Freeholder Director Louis
Cappelli Jr. Renewable energy
technology benefits the taxpayer
by lowering the cost of operating,
and provides a benefit to the envi-
ronment by relying on clean ener-
gy that is replenished by the
sun.
Solar providers can bid on the
project now and construction is
expected to begin in early 2012.
The locations of the solar pan-
els include the Camden County
College, Blackwood and Cherry
Hill campuses, Camden County
Libraries in Haddon Township,
Voorhees and Camden, the Cam-
den County Technical Schools,
the Health Services Center in
Lakeland and County facilities
such as the hall of justice and the
county jail.
The program is part of an on-
going County wide transforma-
tion effort, designed to make its
operations more efficient, said
Camden County Freeholder Di-
rector Louis Cappelli, Jr. Other
components of the Countys ener-
gy transformation program in-
clude energy efficiency improve-
ments and upgrades at the Cam-
den County Technical School
campuses and at the Camden
County College campuses in
Blackwood and Camden.
Implementing renewable ener-
gy solutions and improving the
energy efficiency of the county
and its affiliate agency buildings
will continue to keep Camden
County a leader in sustainability,
cost savings, efficiency measures
and streamlined operations.

Moorestown Friends School
will present The Music Man in
the school auditorium, Friday,
Nov. 18 and Saturday, Nov. 19 at
7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 20, at 2
p.m.

ior Joe Antonakakis as Harold
Hill, Mount Laurel junior Larissa

Set in Iowa, The Music Man re-
volves around Professor Harold
Hill, a glib travelling salesman
who descends upon the town of
River City.
He offers to save River City
from youth corruption by organ-
izing a boys band with himself
as the leader. He convinces the
nave townspeople of the need for
the band, for which they must
purchase instruments and uni-
forms, with the hopes of his get-
ting the cash and skipping town
before the first performance.
Marian Paroo, the prim librarian
and piano teacher, sees through
him, but when Professor Hill
helps her younger brother over-
come his fears of social interac-
tions because of his lisp, she falls
in love with him.
Harold, in turn falls in love
with Marian, and risks being
caught in his scheme in order to
win her over.
The MFS production of The
Music Man is being co-directed
by arts department chairman
Brian Howard and his wife,
Martha Howard.

Voorhees Middle School Theatre
Holly Oaks Drive Voorhees
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Voorhees Sun
Voorhees Middle School has a
lot to be proud of.
Three of its teams took home
championship trophies this sea-
son.
Alex Morales, coach of the
boys soccer team, said the team
went 13-0 this season. The team
took the division then the league
championship.
Morales said the number of
returning players is one reason
for the success.
Everyone meshed together
and they did very well, he said.
While the competition against
townships like Medford and
Mount Laurel was tough, about
half of the opponents were easy.
We pretty much outplayed
every team we played this year,
easily, Morales said.
The team was made up of only
seventh and eighth graders. No
sixth graders made the cut.
Next years eighth graders
will have this years experience
under their belts.
I expect another good season
next year, Morales, in his
fourth season of coaching boys
soccer, said.
The coach, who played soccer
in high school and college, said
the Voorhees Middle School pro-
gram is outstanding.
The middle schools field
hockey team won the Camden
County Elementary League
Field Hockey Championship for
the first time since 1984, beating
Berlin, 2-1.
They went 10-0-3 in the first
undefeated field hockey season
in school history.
Ginny Concepcion has been
field hockey coach there for 11
years.
She attributes more talent and
skill than in the past as a reason
for the teams success.
Concepcion said many eighth
graders have been with the team
since sixth grade. She said they
exhibited teamwork and heart.
It was just a combination of
everything that led to the stel-
lar season, Concepcion said.
She also pointed to the field
hockey clinics and camps at
Eastern High School that middle
school students take advantage
of as another reason for the
strong program.
The middle school acts as a
feeder program for Eastern,
which has had a championship
team for more than 10 years,
Concepcion said field hockey
is particularly competitive in
New Jersey.
Jessica Rosetti, co-coach of
the middle school field hockey
team for nine years, said this has
been the best season yet.
The girls were amazing,
Rosetti, who has been playing
and been involved with field
hockey since seventh-grade,
said. This is by far the best
thing thats ever happened.
This eclipses any achieve-
ment that Ive ever had, she
added. It just means so much
more.
The Voorhees Middle School
girls soccer team won the
Olympic Division championship
after a 9-3 regular season.
Stacey Tosadori has been
coach of girls soccer there for 11
years.
She said having heart and not
giving up in the face of adversity
were key reasons for the teams
success.
After they lost a good player to
a broken wrist, the girls came to-
gether as a team.
It was a great group of girls,
Tosadori said, noting they were
extremely talented.
When they worked together
there was nobody in the league
who could compete with them.
The team was made up girls
from sixth to eighth grade.
She said now there are many
more opportunities for women
in sports, especially on the col-
lege level.
I think its a great way for
girls to build self esteem and I
think all girls should participate
in some type of physical activi-
ty, Tosadori said.
Michele Carrafiello, assistant
coach, is now in her fourth sea-
son with the team.
I think it turned out better
than could have been expected,
she said of the winning season,
Carrafiello said being success-
ful as a player doesnt have to be
because of skill.
Sometimes its not always
about what their best ability is
but their heart, she said.
Three of a kind for
Voorhees Middle School
Boys and girls soccer teams, along with field
hockey team, bring home championships

United Way creates opportuni-
ties for people in Camden County
to have a better life. Since joining
the board of trustees two years
ago, I have seen firsthand the
great work being done.
United Way raises $5 million
annually through workplace cam-
paigns where employees are
given a chance to make an annual
donation through weekly payroll
deductions.
The money raised is invested
in nonprofit programming that
supports education, income, and
health.
Everyone needs a quality edu-
cation that leads to a stable job,
enough income to support a fami-
ly and good health.
The goal of United Way is to
create long-lasting changes by ad-
dressing the underlying causes of
problems in these three impact
areas.
One in five of Camden Coun-
tys children is living in poverty.
Twenty percent of the countys
high school students did not grad-
uate in 2010.
Ten percent of county resi-
dents do not have health insur-
ance and are not receiving the
basic services they need to main-
tain good health.
Last week, township employees
enjoyed presentations from Unit-
ed Way staff about the impact our
donations would make in the
local community. In typical
Voorhees fashion, our employees
were once again eager to con-
tribute. Special thanks to Lois
Sahina, Patrolman Bill Walsh and
Earl Odd for serving as employee
leaders for the campaign. We are
fortunate to live, work and serve
in a township as wonderful as
Voorhees. I thank you for giving
back to our great community.
Youll see NFL players on com-
mercials and national advertising
featuring celebrities in LIVE
UNITED t-shirts.
You might be seeing people in
our community sporting this in-
spirational message on their own
LIVE UNITED t-shirts.
LIVING UNITED means being
part of the change. United Way
encourages people to LIVE UNIT-
ED by giving, advocating and vol-
unteering. By giving through
United Way, you can be assured
your donation is being invested
wisely.
By advocating for the causes
you believe in, you can make
change happen with your voice.
By volunteering your special tal-
ents, you can give the gift of you.

Townships donations to charity make an impact
By SEAN PATRICK MURPHY
The Voorhees Sun
Another proposed charter
school in Voorhees has some res-
idents seeing red.
The Creative Studies Charter
School is a grassroots proposal
for a school of choice that fol-
lows a year round calendar.
The annual cost to Voorhees
taxpayers for the school would
be about $1.2 million if approved
by the state in January.
Voorhees has followed suit
with Cherry Hill in appealing
the decision to allow another
charter school to be located in
the area.
Regis Academy would be lo-
cated in Cherry Hill and receive
students from Somerdale, Lawn-
side, Cherry Hill, and Voorhees.
If approved, it would cost
Voorhees $727,000 a year.
Pamela Brown, an art teacher
who is spearheading the effort to
bring the Creative Studies
school to Voorhees, said just the
proposal of a charter school can
create change in the public
school.
She points to the establish-
ment of half-day aftercare in the
district after she proposed a sim-
ilar program last year.
Lisa Tofolo, who has two chil-
dren in Voorhees public schools,
started the Voorhees Parental
Advocacy Group as a way of
sharing information with other
concerned parents about what
bringing in charter schools will
do.
I think its disgusting that we
dont have a say, she said, not-
ing she believes charter schools
are needed in some places but
that there is no need for one in
Voorhees.
Instead of trying to put an-
other school in this area, why
dont they take those efforts and
try to help the schools where
theres a need for it?
Tofolo said the Voorhees
Parental Advocacy Group got
about 200 likes on Facebook in
two days.
I think it got a lot of blood
boiling in the area about charter
schools, she said.
The initial enrollment at Cre-
ative Studies would begin as an
intermediate school, only serv-
ing grades three to five, to allow
the public school system an easi-
er transition.
Brown said the Creative Stud-
ies Charter School is independ-
ent of affiliations to any reli-
gious or sectarian, nonprofit or
for profit outside entities.
We believe students learn
best when they are active partic-
ipants in the educational
process, she said. Our technol-
ogy philosophy is simple: One
student = one computer.
Our curriculum is research
based on creative arts integra-
tion, an educational approach
not available in the traditional
Voorhees public school class-
room.
She said that, while the law
does allow up to 10 percent of
students to reside outside the
district, Voorhees students will
have first priority.
We are committed to equal

represent a diverse and true
cross section of the community,
serving all students, including
students requiring special edu-
cation services, English lan-
guage learners, economically
disadvantaged, and other under
served or at-risk populations,
Brown said.
Lisa Dreyfuss, who also has
two children in the Voorhees
school district, said she does not
know more about the proposed
charter school because informa-
tion has not been disclosed.
She said many live in the
township because the school sys-
tem is so strong.
Our school system is wonder-
ful, she said, noting she thinks
its not fair that charter schools
will receive taxpayer money. I
think if that money is allocated
to the charter schools that
money is going to be taken away
from our kids.
That, Dreyfuss said, could re-
sult in larger class sizes and
teacher layoffs.
It could ultimately take away
a lot of our programs that make
our schools so good to begin
with, she said.
Parent Ellen Marks said the
charter school could result in
lowering of property values.
She said residents already pay
high property taxes and that
were happy to do that because
of what we get.
Marks said she is concerned
because residents didnt have a
vote on whether to establish
charter schools or not.
I believe we should have had
the opportunity to have the in-
formation on these charter
schools and be able to vote for
them as taxpayers in the com-
munity, she said.
The fact that the community
has no say is really the bigger
problem here, Marks said. I
think its despicable.

The time-honored rivalry. The
rag-tag team of underdogs. A
hope and a prayer.
And against all odds, with 4
seconds left on the clock, the
third-string quarterback miracu-
lously lobs a pass that somehow
reaches the end zone, just enough
to put the slumping team over the
top. The crowd erupts in joyful
cheering, flooding the field and
hoisting up the quarterback like
hes king of the world.
Thats how it always is.
Or at least thats what cheesy
football movies and intoxicating
feel-good shows like The Wonder
Years have taught me to believe.
But, hey, I never played football.
What do I know anyway?
Well, here in South Jersey, foot-
ball coaches and players seem to
be taking things a little more seri-
ously. After all, theyve got
records to maintain and devoted
fans to please.
Every year, at the end of No-
vember, many football teams find
respite from grueling it out on the
gridiron. For just one game, play-
ers and coaches forget about their
regular-season records.
No, believe me, they still take
the game seriously. After all,
bragging rights are at stake here.
Im talking about the coveted
Thanksgiving Day football game.
So lets take a look at some of
the rivalries around the region.
Warning: Some rivalries may be
hotter than that Thanksgiving
bird in the oven youre about to
shovel down. (I know, sorry, that
was one fowl joke.)
Cherry Hill West vs. Cherry Hill
East
Wednesday, Nov. 23; 6 p.m. at
West
Lets see what the Cougars and
Lions can do under the lights,
since the two teams have tradi-
tionally squared off on Thanks-
giving Day.
This will be the 43rd meeting in
the classic story of East meets
West. And even though East has
the upper hand with 29 of the 42
games under its belt, West has
proven to be quite the threat in re-
cent years, said Easts athletic di-
rector John Burns.
I expect it to be a very close
game, said Wests athletic direc-
tor Louis Papa.
Prior to the game, students will
indulge in spirit week activities, a
pep rally and dinner for the
cheerleaders and football players.
Washington Township vs.
Williamstown
Thursday, Nov. 24; 10:30 a.m. at
Williamstown
Washington Township is com-
ing back with a vengeance. A
friendly one, that is. For the sec-
ond year, the Minutemen will
take on Williamstown, trying to
undo last years 47-28 loss.
This year, Washington Town-
ship Athletic Director Kevin Mur-
phy said, the team is looking to
give the team a run for its money.
Both teams, as of last Friday,
were 6-2 and 3-0 in the West Jer-
sey Football LeagueAmerican
Division.
Prior to the neighborhood
Thanksgiving Day affair, the Min-
utemen played Eastern Regional
High School in Voorhees for
about a decade. Prior to the cross-
county matchup, the team took on
Deptford.
But all that changed when the
two schools both found them-
selves in the WJFL two years ago.
The two teams also square off
during the regular season and
this year, the Thanksgiving Day
game will also decide which team
has what it takes to be named con-
ference champs.
This enabled us to look to our
Turkey and touchdowns:
Thanksgiving Day rivalries
please see FOOTBALL, page 19
neighbor to generate a rivalry.
Were celebrating a great Ameri-
can tradition, Murphy said. Its
a great game and super competi-
tive.
Murphy said families, friends
and alumni turn out to watch the
game.
Its a great family atmosphere.
Were a close knit community and
we have so much to be thankful
for, Murphy said.
Lenape vs. Shawnee
Thursday Nov. 24; 10 a.m. at
Lenape
Last year was the 40th anniver-
sary of the Thanksgiving Day
game for the two schools in the
Lenape Regional District. Players
and coaches who played in the
first Thanksgiving Day game
even revisited their old stomping
grounds.
The Chiefs are looking to im-
prove on their 32-6-2 record, but
not if the Indians have it their
way.
Lenape Athletic director Tim
Walsh said the rival match typi-
cally promotes sportsmanship
and fun.
Its a great tradition for the
community. The alumni come
back and get together. It gives
everyone a chance to see old
friends, Walsh said.
Leading up to the big day, stu-
dents at both schools participate
in a myriad of spirited events.
Students at Shawnee will take
part in Blue and White night,
when the school divides into two
teams to compete against each
other.
Last year, students participated
in relay events and painted mu-
rals to be hung in the gym.
And theres no lack of school
spirit at Lenape, either. Lenape
Pride Day will be held the day be-
fore Thanksgiving, a time to get
students psyched up before the
big game, Walsh said.
Cherokee vs. Seneca
Thursday Nov. 24; 11 a.m. at
Seneca
Another healthy clash between
two Lenape district schools,
Cherokee is 6-2 since the rivalry
started in 2003 when Seneca
opened, said Cherokee football
coach PJ Mehigan. The Golden
Eagles have pulled out just two
wins so far, coming in 2006 and
2010.
Its a nice little rivalry. It does-
nt matter what the teams record
is that day, Mehigan said. Its
good football, good crowds and a
good rivalry.
Seneca students will be prep-
ping for the big game with the
Turkey Bowl Pep Rally on Nov. 22.
