The West Deptford boys’ track team came away with big wins a week ahead of sectionals.
Nick Pulli won the Most Outstanding Field Athlete award and runners piled up wins in the 800, 3200 and 4x400 as West Deptford’s boys’ track team got in a solid tune-up ahead of sectionals at the Haddonfield Invitational Thursday night. Pulli threw 156-11 in the discus to win that event over Haddon Township’s Connor Wade (155-10) and West Deptford’s Todd Jarrell (150-10), and finished second in the shot put by two and a half inches, throwing 49-11. Elsewhere in the field, the Eagles scored top-10 finishes in the javelin from Brandon Holmes (fifth at 138-11) and Jarrell (seventh at 132-10). Shai Mumford was fourth in the long jump (20-2.5) and Sean Weidler was second in the pole vault, leaping 11 feet. On the track, the boys got a one-two …
Juicy steaks tell the story at Ralic's Steakhouse in Haddonfield.
Mike and Dave Ralic envision their space as an intimate, boutique steakhouse where customers can chat up the chef and the signature dishes are simple and flavorful. Ralic's Steakhouse, at 26 S. Haddon Ave., premiered last June with celebrity chef Ed Battaglia. His claim to fame was as a contestant on the seventh season of the FOX reality-television cooking show, Hell’s Kitchen. Ralic’s was the first kitchen in which he served as executive chef. Battaglia has since move on. Executive Chef Bryan Groff is now at the helm and from the smell of things, he hasn't missed a beat.

A nearly year-long process was delayed a few more days, but should be resolved early next week.
If years of service in the New Jersey State Police taught West Deptford Mayor Ray Chintall anything, it’s that justice doesn’t happen overnight. So as Chintall watched from the back of the courtroom Thursday morning, he wasn’t surprised Superior Court Judge Eugene Marshall Jr. opted to extend what has been a nearly year-long process, dating back to the property’s condemnation last summer, as to what should happen with the now-partially demolished home at 113 Cromwell Court. “That’s our judicial system,” Chintall said. “Sometimes things don’t happen as fast as you wish.” While he wouldn’t comment too deeply into the legal tornado that has swirled around the home this year, from the hearing in front of township committee to the current …

Gatewood allegedly killed his nephew, Elijah P. Gatewood-Gabriel, after an argument early Friday morning.
A family argument led to the murder of a Deptford man early Friday morning, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office (GCPO). Chad Gatewood, 45, and his nephew, Elijah P. Gatewood-Gabriel, 20, allegedly got in a confrontation around midnight, when Gatewood stabbed Gatewood-Gabriel multiple times with a kitchen knife in the family's apartment at the Inverness Apartments on Delsea Drive in Deptford, GCPO spokesman Bernie Weisenfeld said. After police and medics were alerted via a 12:01 a.m. 9-1-1 call, Gatewood-Gabriel was taken to Underwood-Memorial Hospital in Woodbury, where he was pronounced dead at 12:54 a.m., Weisenfeld said, and an autopsy Friday confirmed Gatewood-Gabriel died of the stab wounds.

The junior keeper was solid in net, as the Eagles recorded a 13-6 win over Red Bank in the Group 1 playoffs.
In a sport as high-scoring as high school boys’ lacrosse, it can be easy to look directly to the offensive numbers and pass by what is happening on the defensive end. West Deptford High School junior goalie Brendan Gill understands that, but also knows his job is to make the big saves when called upon. Gill—a first-year varsity goalie—did exactly that Thursday afternoon, playing like a veteran in the Eagles 13-6 win over the Red Bank Buccaneers in the first round of the NJSIAA Group 1 playoffs. West Deptford saw an 8-3 lead shrink to 8-6 in the later stages of the third quarter, when Gill made a big save to prevent the Buccaneers from closing within a goal. Less than a minute later, attacker Mike Reardon fired home his third goal of the …

The Eagles are co-champs with Haddonfield after beating Audubon Thursday.
West Deptford’s golfers have their first conference championship in a decade, sharing the title with Haddonfield after a 175-205 win over Audubon at Beckett Golf Club Thursday. Kevin Brockway paced the Eagles with a 41, Matt Santarelli and Ritchie Stolz each shot 44 and Ryan Henry fired a 46 as West Deptford got back-to-back wins on back-to-back days at the Swedesboro course. It was only a week ago the Eagles beat Haddonfield for the first time in at least six years, 171-178, on a blustery day at RiverWinds. The team has been led by a core of seniors—Brockway, Santarelli, Henry, John Meagher and Zach Vorndran—who head coach John Cobb has called a special group, and the ones most likely to unseat Haddonfield. Check back with West Deptford …
