HS football: Roundup of Week 6 games for South Jersey
Delsea Regional High School football coach Sal Marchese is now the program's all-time wins leader.
Marchese picked up his 231st career victory Friday night when the Crusaders topped Cedar Creek, 35-6. Marchese moved past legendary Delsea coach John Oberg, who retired in 1993 with a 230-67-16 record.
Oberg, who died in May, and Marchese are the only two coaches to ever man the Delsea sideline.
Marchese's career record now stands at 231-81-1.
Camden 7, Haddonfield 3: Taquan Brittingham took a fake punt 70 yards on 4th-and-1 from the Panthers’ own 12-yard line with less than 3 minutes left to seal the victory Friday night.
The Panther defense stepped up time and again as they held the Bulldawgs out of the end zone despite giving up four red zone possessions. Deante Ruffin’s 19-yard touchdown pass to Hamin Anderson late in the first half proved to be game-winner.
Millville 21, Shawnee 10: The Thunderbolts' first two touchdowns of the game came on rushes from Thomas Smith III. Millville's other touchdown was courtesy of a 24-yard pass from Jacob Zamot to Lotzier Brooks.
Shawnee’s lone score came on a Joe Papa 1-yard rush.
Lenape 12, Cherokee 7: Senior Zyaire Goffney-Fleming was a punishing workhorse, carrying 26 times for 197 yards, none bigger than a 53-yard touchdown run on fourth-down call in the fourth quarter that lifted Lenape to its fourth straight win and the top of the West Jersey Football League American Division standings.
Lenape took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter when Michael LeMay reeled off an 85-yard punt return for a score.
Cherokee, which had its three-game winning streak snapped, took a 7-6 lead in third quarter on quarterback Luke Brown’s 1-yard TD run and Tommy Pajic’s extra-point boot.
Pennsauken 31, Willingboro 28: Premier Wynn pounced on a fumble in the end zone with a little more than a minute to play for a key defensive touchdown that lifted the Indians to victory. Wynn also opened the game's scoring with a 9-yard touchdown run.
Willingboro erased a 19-0 deficit with three unanswered touchdowns, including 3-yard run by Lamar Best that gave his team a 20-19 advantage in the fourth quarter. Best had two scoring runs in the contest and a pair of touchdown passes.
Pennsauken, which saw a touchdown run and pass from Dante Viccharelli, improved to 6-0 on the season.
Cherry Hill West 21, Triton 7: Gary Rowe rushed for a pair of touchdowns, a 5-yarder to open the game and 1-yard plunge in the fourth quarter, to lead the Lions. West quarterback Jordon Gonzalez connected with Ben Secouler on a 34-yard touchdown pass in the win.

St. Joseph 7, Ocean City 3: Wildcats quarterback James Mantuano linked up with Zach Cruet on a 47-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to provide the game's only touchdown.
The Red Raiders responded with a 25-yard field goal off the foot of Ryder Hay before halftime, but that would signal an end to the game's scoring as both defenses pitched shutouts in the second half.
Seneca 35, Moorestown 7: Brayden Davis threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, as Seneca improved to 6-0. Davis threw TD passes of 10 and 9 yards to Zac Fearon and found Kyle Stickle for a 10-yarder. He ran 21 times for 131 yards and a 9-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
Moorestown opened the game with a 70-yard drive that Andrew Curry finished off with a 9-yard TD run, but muffed a punt after forcing a three-and-out on the Golden Eagles' ensuing drive. Seneca turned that miscue into its first touchdown and took the lead on Davis' run in the second. A 21-yard interception return by Jamar Warthen a few plays later made it 21-7 at halftime.
