-and NOW from our SPORTS DESK - Athletic Director Mike Papenberg reports: Good Afternoon Palmyra! Here is how our student-athletes performed in one of the last weeks of the Fall season:
The Girls Soccer Team advanced to the NJSIAA Sectional Semifinals last Tuesday against Point Pleasant Beach. The girls played Beach tough, both regulation and overtime ended in a tie without anyone scoring a goal. Unfortunately, a winner needed to be decided through penalty kicks, and Pt. Beach was able to best us 4-3 in penalties. The Lady Panthers finished the season with a very impressive 17-4-1 record. Congrats on a great season!

The Boys Soccer Team defeated Woodstown High School on Monday in the NJSIAA Sectional Semifinals 3-0. Matteo Gravano scored twice and Reed Wells scored once to lead the Panthers. John Liebe made 9 saves to pick up his 13thshutout of the year. The win moved the boys to the NJSIAA Sectional Championship last Thursday afternoon when they hosted Haddon Township High School and led 1-0 at halftime on a big goal from freshman Cole McCamy. Unfortunately, the Hawks were able to score 2 @second-half goals to win the sectional championship and end the boys season. It was another terrific season for the boys, winning the BCSL Freedom Division Championship and finishing with a record of 17-5-1.
