But it took the persistence of a self-appointed matchmaker to bring them together. When Jill was very young, a couple her parents' age moved into the house across the street. Jill was especially fond of Janet, who loved to bake and befriended everyone in the neighborhood. Jill even wrote an elementary school essay about her. Janet became the head of the "Hi, New Neighbor Club," which sponsored community game nights and dances.

After both teams beat Burlington City to start yesterday's tri-match, the host Warriors cooled the Chimeras by taking a tense 37-29 victory in Plumstead Township. The loss, which dropped Willingboro to 19-4 in duals this season, should not affect the Chimeras' chances of earning their first playoff berth, but coach Marc Cuniglio is taking nothing for granted.

Little siestas are not uncommon for members of the New Egypt softball team as they pass time on long road trips from their Ocean County campus. "They take naps and we usually wake them up about 15 minutes before we get there," Warriors coach Carolyn Eckhardt said. The power naps must be working, especially for the pitchers, who have put opposing hitters to sleep this season. New Egypt (14-2) has surrendered just 11 runs and boasts 11 shutouts in 16 games. Heading into yesterday's contest at Riverside, the Warriors pitching staff had tossed six straight shutouts - including three straight no-hitters at one point - in their last six games.

When New Egypt boys' soccer coach Sam Palumbo gathered his players in the locker room after Monday's 2-0 loss to South River in the Central Jersey Group 1 Final, he told them to hold their heads high because it had been an amazing season.
