Collingswood struggles to compete in the final two quarters of its game against Sterling High School.
The second half of Tuesday night's game might've been the Pathers girls' basketball team's worst all season. Dec. 21 was the last time the Panthers and Sterling's Silver Knights squared off on the basketball court, but it didn’t take long for spectators to tell who the better team was during their next meeting this past Tuesday night. The Panthers seemed determined for a different outcome this time around, and things seemed headed that way. On Tuesday night, with Collingswood as the host, the game was much more competitive—for the first half, at least. The first two quarters provided plenty of positive thoughts for the Panthers girls' team. Six members of their roster had already recorded points, with junior forward Erica Witherbee again …

Collingswood sophomore forward Morgan Worthington brought down Overbrook team.
Leadership comes in all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes it comes vocally. Often it comes from an elder statesman.

Throughout the course of a low-scoring first half of play, it seemed as though the Collingswood Panthers girls' basketball team was on pace to open their season with a convincing victory. They closed out the second quarter while leading Bordentown by a score of 15-11, and while the four point difference doesn't seem like much of a lead on paper, the Scotties would likely attest to the fact that it took them 16 hard-fought minutes to reach that 11-point mark. After the break, however, was a different story, as Bordentown came out of the gates with a 12-0 run led by senior guard Emily Lawson, who led all scorers with 16 points, ten of which came in the third quarter, eventually leading to a 34-22 loss for the Panthers. "We needed to do a …
