The Pirates Week in Review for February 1-7 is here. Catch up on what happened this past week in sports at Cinnaminson High School.
The week began with a bang as 1986 graduate and NFL veteran Andre Collins returned to his alma mater to present the school with a golden football from the NFL. Collings won a Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins after a stellar career at Penn State under Joe Paterno.
The bowling program had a full week, finishing the regular season against New Egypt on Monday, competing at the BCSL Divisional Championship on Friday and the girl’s sectional tournament on Saturday. Against New Egypt, the girls dropped a 3-1 decision and the boys tied 2-2. The girls finished the season 9-7-1 and the boys 11-3-3.
At the BCSL, the boy’s bowling team finished first and the girl’s bowling team finished third. Both Sean Harris and Paige D’Amato took home third highest series at the event. The girls competed at the Group 1 Sectional Tournament on Saturday and placed fourth overall out of 11 teams.
