SOMERS POINT – Hockey is no longer exclusive to rough, tough gap-toothed men from Canada who skate on ice chasing after a hard rubber disk.
In Somers Point, they’re having a ball playing hockey with a feminine touch – not on ice but on concrete - but still highly competitive, fast-paced and physically demanding.
OCHS grad Chris Harris awaits NFL Draft
Written by Tom Williams Wednesday, April 24, 2013 12:10 pm
OCEAN CITY — Chris Harris has been watching the NFL Draft on TV for years. The three-sport athlete at Ocean City High School has a lot more interest this year.
Harris, the starting tight end at Elon University last season, had a great workout at North Carolina State’s Pro Day. He ran the 40 in 4.61, bench pressed 225 pounds a total of 26 times and did well in most other aspects of the workout. Now 6-foot-4, 239 pounds, Harris has drawn interest from NFL teams, in particular the Ravens, Jets and Panthers.
Lady Tigers get their revenge in lacrosse

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – Last Friday, the Lower Cape May Regional High School girls lacrosse program hosted a fund-raiser for the HEADstrong Foundation, a blood cancer charity, around its game with rival Middle Township.
The Lady Tigers promptly went out and got outscored by five goals in the first half en route to an 11-8 defeat.
But in a strange scheduling twist, they didn’t have to wait long for their chance to get revenge. On Monday, Lower dominated the first 35 minutes against the Lady Panthers and settled for a satisfying 19-12 victory.
“Our starting lineup has a lot of seniors and after we lost Friday night they were all saying how this next game was going to be the last time they ever played against Middle,” Lower coach Nikki Wright said. “They didn’t like how we lost Friday night. We were definitely more intense and we came out and played hard.”
Lower got most of its offensive punch from Victoria Mann and Lindsay Lare, who accounted for five goals apiece. Nicole Sangillo and Emily Levin each added three goals, Ashley Hunt scored twice and Maddie Gibson added a goal.
