Husbands and wives turned to each other, joined hands and said in unison:

Teaching and Coaching Career

 

Browning taught history in Woodbury and Camden, New Jersey, high schools and directed exercise programs for teenagers at the Penns Grove Y.M.C.A. In 1972, at age 47, he started coaching track and cross-country at Gloucester Catholic High School. Despite a lack of track facilities, he was able to produce champion runners and teams.  Meanwhile, he continued to race at a high level as long as he could, and supported other runners by:  

 

• hosting road races for serious runners and "Run for Your Life" runs for everyone, 

• organizing running camps for kids, 

• publishing his monthly Long Distance Log to list how runners finished in road races throughout the country, and

• operating a sporting goods store. 

He won the Berwick PA nine-mile race 10 times, and hundreds of other races. 

 

Sudden Death

 

Browning spent his entire life running races until 1998, when he died suddenly at age 74.  The newspapers listed his death as a heart attack, but that is extremely unlikely.  No autopsy was done.  On the night before he died, he had developed a pain in ...

EMU Wins in the First Round of the CIT Tourney

YPSILANTI--  The Eastern Michigan University Men’s basketball team took a giant step to salvage the 2017-18 season by posting a resounding 85-63 victory over Niagara in the CollegeInsider.com  postseason tourney.  It is a nice consolation prize after the tough 64-63 last second loss to Toledo in the semi-final at the Mid-American Conference Championship in Cleveland.  It is not the NCAA Tournament or even the NIT but EMU could go far in the CIT.

Before a sparse crowd, redshirt junior Elijah Minnie had a career-high 29 points.  Junior James Thompson IV tallied 20 points and pulled down a team-high 16 rebounds.  Senior Tim Bond had a banner night with 11 points, 12 boards, and eight assists, while also adding two steals.

New Jersey high schools vote to radically change state football playoffs

 

• MICHAEL McGARRY Staff Writer

 Representatives from New Jersey high schools voted 218-79-12 to change the current playoff system at the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association general membership meeting in Robbinsville on Monday morning. The new format begins in 2018.

The new system creates “bowl games” in each enrollment group between the four sectional champions. These games are in effect state semifinals. But the season will end there – for now – because the NSIAA constitution bans state titles game in football. The NSJIAA governs most New Jersey high school sports.

The new format does the following:

*Divides the state into South Jersey and North Jersey. The top 16 teams with the highest power ranking in each enrollment group in North Jersey would be divided into two sections. The top 16 teams with the most power points in South Jersey would be divided into two sections.

*The current power point system where teams earn points based on their record and their opponents’ record and enrollment will be examined and revised.

*Thanksgiving rivalries are preserved

*Teams that don’t make the playoffs can play two consolation games instead of one.

*The playoffs begin the first weekend in November – a week earlier than they currently do.

*The sectional title games would be played the weekend before Thanksgiving instead of the first weekend in December.

Thank You to Past and Present GCHS and GHS Football Players for Providing Such a Great Rivalry

We received a comment from an anonymous person who took us to task for giving the players from Gloucester Catholic and Gloucester High a Cheer recently in our November column for good sportsmanship. He/she said that Gloucester Catholic players taunted the players from Gloucester High and the person insinuated that GCHS players and the school administration should be ashamed of themselves for behaving so poorly. We received no other comments on the topic.

The person wrote, in part, "Good sportsmanship? GC (Gloucester Catholic) had four or five unsportsmanlike conduct, sang "Na Nanna hey, hey, goodbye " and spit on the G at midfield. Catholic sold their soul to the devil."

CHEER—Year in and year out the players from the Gloucester Catholic and Gloucester High football teams display good sportsmanship at the annual Thanksgiving Day game between the two schools. Kudos to the players and fans for continuing this long-standing tradition which goes back seven decades if not longer.

JEER—Our legal system has become a swinging door for criminals who know how to work the system. For example in November Gloucester City Police arrested Tavius Lindsey, a resident of Camden City for breaking into several vehicles parked in the north end of the city. Lindsey was arrested in the same area in 2015 for the same crime, burglary. Lindsey was sentenced to a three-year prison term for that crime. He served 17 months and was released. As for his latest arrest, Lindsey was released from custody as of November 23, 2017, on his own recognizance, according to the New Jersey Statewide VINE service (Victim Information and Notification Everyday).

GO RAMS! Bonfire, Pep Rally Held Prior to Thanksgiving Clash vs. Gloucester City High!

 

Gloucester Catholic faithful held a bonfire and pep rally at the Patrick Peyton Athletic Complex Wednesday evening prior to the Rams' Thanksgiving Day clash against Gloucester City High School.

Senior players were honored in advance of playing their final scholastic game. Coach Casey Murphy and Athletic Director Patrick Murphy addressed the large gathering of parents, fans, and alumni who assembled at the Sewell fields.

In addition, senior Andrew Stetser captured a pie-eating contest, and Mr. Tom Flynn led the crowd in a singing of Gloucester Catholic's school song! A large bonfire was then set, capping off the festivities on the chilly evening.

The Rams have posted a 5-4 record to date with a playoff appearance against Holy Spirit this Fall. A win would give them a 6-4 record -- the same as last season -- and would be the second straight over their arch rival Gloucester.
