High School Football

Camden High School football coach Dwayne Savage has been nominated by the Philadelphia Eagles for a national award.

Senior linebacker and running back Ernest Howard had a tremendous year for Pleasantville, but more importantly he emerged as a team leader during a difficult time after a shooting that took place when the Greyhounds faced Camden in the state playoffs

Senior Malachi Melton played several different positions this year for Cedar Creek and had a school-record 33 tackles for loss.

Jada Byers had an outstanding senior season for St. Joseph, finishing his career with a South Jersey-record 102 touchdowns.

Senior quarterback Louie Barrios helped lead Cedar Creek to 10 wins and a sectional championship this past fall.

Chris Sacco announced that he is stepping down at Pleasantville after a five-year stint that included 27 wins, a division title, and consecutive trips to the sectional semifinals.

He rushed for nearly 500 yards and nine touchdowns as a running back and part-time quarterback, had nearly 100 receiving yards and was one of the team’s leading tacklers as a middle linebacker.

Fans wanted to get a look at highly touted Wildwood Catholic — which features several high level NCAA Division I recruits.

Yesterday Wildwood high alum Wes Hills was promoted to the Detroit active roster, today he scored two touchdowns in the Lions 38-17 loss to Tampa Bay.

Another local football star is staying home, choosing Rutgers.
