Haddon Township Girls Basketball Team Captures South Jersey Title

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Haddon Township High School girls basketball team went virtually unchallenged as it marched to a sectional title this season.

This included a dominating performance in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 1 championship game, where the top-seeded Hawks defeated No. 6 Woodbury, 65-29, according to nj.com.

Madison Bradley lead the way in the final with 22 points, followed by Grace Marshall with 18. The Hawks jumped out to a 22-6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back.

Despite the lopsided score, Woodbury actually put out the highest offensive output of any of Haddon Township’s playoff opponents.

In the first round, Haddon Township defeated No. 16 Clayton, 51-16. Bradley had 13 points for a Haddon Township offense that saw 10 different players score. The defense allowed just three Clayton players to make the scoreboard.

Up next, Haddon Township downed No. 8 Audubon, 43-11. Offensively, Lindsey Roche had 11 points, followed by Lindsey Getzinger with 10. Defensively, Audubon had just three players score.

The semifinals saw Haddon Township defeat No. 4 Palmyra, 47-17. Bradley had 11 points, and the defense shut out Palmyra, 14-0, in the second quarter.

The scores were similar to what Haddon Township has done throughout the season in compiling a 25-4 record. Most scores were lopsided, although the Hawks beat Haddonfield by just two points, 39-37, on Jan. 31, and they did lose four games.

Players and coaches told nj.com they were motivated by last year’s loss in the sectional final. Haddon Township was scheduled to face Central Jersey Champion Bound Brook in the state semifinals on Wednesday.
