The Collingswood girls' basketball team is currently undefeated, while the boys' basketball and wrestling teams have also tasted some early successes.
It was a fine close to the 2012 calendar year for several winter athletic teams at Collingswood High School. Below is a look at some of the highlights from the last month of athletic action. GIRLS' BASKETBALL No team enters the new year hotter than the Panthers, who finished 2012 with a 6-0 record. Collingswood has been able to pick up a half-dozen wins thanks to a stifling defense that has held three opponents under 20 points, and hasn’t given up more than 36 in a game. Prior to the start of the season, Collingswood head coach Nancy O’Neill expressed her passion to develop players who think defense-first. “Defense is definitely my coaching staff’s passion,” said O’Neill. “We did a nice job last year and we are coming back with a pretty …

A look back at the last three months of Collingswood athletics.
As fall turns into winter, athletic contests move from outdoor fields to indoor courts and mats. But before we take a look at what the basketball, wrestling and swim teams will look like at Collingswood High School (CHS) in 2012, let's remember the CHS fall athletic season, a year that was equal parts successful and challenging. FIELD HOCKEY No Collingswood team had more success this past fall than did its field hockey squad. A season that started out as a celebration of 100 years of history ended in the Panthers reaching the South Jersey finals. Along the way, there was an undefeated Colonial Conference season, a record-breaking scoring performance from Krista LaMaina, 18 shutouts from Becca Hall, Coach Valerie Dayton's 100th win and a …

In the absence of official comments from the boys' basketball coach, principal, or athletic director, former players and parents are trying to fill in the blanks.
Three days after a parade of his supporters used the public comment portion of the Collingswood school board meeting to voice their opposition to the replacement of boys’ basketball coach Joseph McLoughlin, the man himself remains silent on the issue. Repeated attempts by Collingswood Patch to contact McLoughlin both directly and through intermediaries have been unsuccessful. Similarly, calls to Collingswood High School (CHS) principal Ed Hill and athletic director Ron Hamrick have not been returned. In the absence of answers, observers have been left to speculate about the rift between the 14-year coach and the administration that two years ago named him one of its teachers of the year. The most nefarious accusations—that McLoughlin …

Morris Smith earned his first win of the season and Chris Michael hammered out his 100th career hit as the boys baseball team ended the season with a victory.
Jumping out to a five-run lead in the early going against Gateway gave Morris Smith enough of a cushion to notch his first win of the season Tuesday, as the Panthers baseball team closed out 2012 on a high note. The Panthers Chris Michael achieved a personal milestone in the contest, recording the 100th hit of his high school career on an 0-2 double to lead off the sixth. Michael also walked, singled, and scored three runs. Although the Gators pulled within two in the top of the seventh inning, Lucas Rollins put out the fire to earn a save. Scott Irwin opened the scoring, doubling in two runs in the first inning; Jake Tackett also drove in two runs in a 2-for-4 performance. 1 2 3 4 5 6 …

Panthers only record four wins en route to their 41-18 loss.
Sometimes, it’s just not your night. That’s the way it seemed for Collingswood's varsity wrestling team Monday night, and it was apparent from the opening moments of their meet against Paulsboro's Red Raiders. In the night’s opening bout, Collingswood's 135-pound Steve Shields went the distance against opponent Mike Sylvestro from Paulsboro. Unfortunately for Shields—and the rest of the Panthers— the score at the end of the match was in favor of Sylvestro. And that score would be a sign of things to come, with the Panthers suffering a final 41-18 loss. Aside from Shields, seven other Collingswood wrestlers were defeated Monday night, including 103-pound Kyle Polumbo and 160-pound Jim Plianthos, both of who were pinned. “They took it to us—…
