That will quickly change over the next few weeks as schedule heats up with at least eight games to close out April and the possibility of even more contests in the Rancocas Valley Elite Tournament the final weekend of the month “It’s all about finding a rhythm,” Cinnaminson head coach Lou Arnold said “We’re going to get a chance to play pretty much every day next week to consistently see live pitching over and over again We try to emulate and simulate that in practice One can’t blame Cinnaminson for being anxious to get back on the field There are high expectations for the Pirates who have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years the program has compiled a 51-24 mark over the previous three seasons with a division title and a sectional final appearance – both in 2023 it was a real eye-opener for all of us,” Derbyshire said it didn’t end the way we would have liked (a loss to Haddon Heights in the sectional semifinal round) Cinnaminson’s recent success can be traced to this group of seniors One of the premier two-way players in South Jersey the Salisbury University-bound senior is quickly closing in on 100 career hits at the plate and 500 career strikeouts in the circle “We’ve been really lucky to have her for the last four years,” Arnold said “I can’t say enough good things about her as a person and a player She really works hard and her confidence is high right now When she has a game like (Monday’s contest) it’s nice to see her rewarded for all of that work.” Derbyshire launched a two-run homer to close out a pivotal six-run She also scattered six hits and struck out 10 especially the mental aspect of it,” Derbyshire said of hitting and pitching has a career batting average that hovers around .350 and an ERA south of 2.00 Game notesCinnaminson was living a little dangerously against Delran before delivering three two-out two-run hits in the fourth to turn a three-run deficit into a 6-3 lead Senior Morgan Jans started the comeback with a two-run single and sophomore Hailee Hunter contributed another two-run knock Derbyshire completed the frame with the sixth homer of her career Hunter finished with three hits while senior leadoff hitter Maddyn Rittler scored twice for the Pirates (3-1) had a pair of run-scoring singles and made a diving catch in center field to prevent a run “There’s always room to grow and we will learn from this,” Delran coach Rick Cordero said There’s a lot of games left for us to grow Tom McGurk is a regional sports editor for the Courier-Post, The Daily Journal and Burlington County Times, covering South Jersey sports for over 35 years.

If it's a boom party blaring from Philadelphia the officer will relay information to police in the city's 15th district "We will then be in constant communication with the Philadelphia police in an attempt to remedy the issue," Obuchowski said It's unclear whether Philadelphia police took action against anyone at the boom party last weekend Patch contacted a spokesperson for the city's police department and will update as more information becomes available Philadelphia police have tried numerous approaches against boom parties the department centralized its response to the events But since it wasn't effective in stopping the noise, the PPD put enforcement back in the hands of the respective policing districts last year. Adam Geer, Philadelphia's chief public safety director, said the decentralized approach "increase(s) the scope of enforcement." Philadelphia police also began enforcing a "zero-tolerance" policy issuing $2,000 fines and potentially seizing vehicles most violators only faced fines of $100-300 But Philadelphia's officer shortage has played an impact forcing the department to "triage their response with gun violence and other serious crimes sometimes taking priority over quality-of-life issues," New Jersey State Sen Troy Singleton said last year after communicating with Philadelphia officials The city ended 2024 with 5,021 sworn officers — 500 fewer than the start of the year and 1,500 fewer than the department is budgeted to have, according to NBC10 Philadelphia 2024 at 12:17 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}(Patch Media)CINNAMINSON NJ — The Cinnaminson Board of Education is set to have several new members after two incumbents conceded the election Wednesday morning both incumbent township committee members declared victory 95.2 percent of districts have reported full results as of 11 a.m according to the Burlington County Clerk's Office Four school board seats were up for grabs — three for full terms and one for an unexpired (partial) term The races featured candidates from two tickets — the incumbents and the challenger slate running under the "Every Voice Matters" slogan Jennifer Falconiero and Eileen Bleistene — carry leads as of 10 a.m School Board President Laura Fitzwater would be the only incumbent re-elected if the results hold III and Toni Topps conceded Wednesday morning Both campaigned with Fitzwater for re-election "We were overwhelmed by the community support we received and we want to thank you for displaying our signs "We are sending only Laura back to the board next year but we will continue to ensure the best education possible for the children of Cinnaminson."

schools There are 392 districts slated to receive increased funding 175 seeing funding cuts and seven districts whose aid amount is the same as 2024-25 The state allocated $21.1 million for the Cinnaminson Township School District this school year It was a 9.1 percent bump from the prior year's total the district is set for a 3 percent reduction in state aid bringing the figure to roughly $20.5 million In the current fiscal year, the Cinnaminson School District has a budget of about $66.2 million, according to district documents Roughly $37.1 million came from property taxes while state aid covered most of the remainder This budget season marks the first time that New Jersey has implemented its new funding formula for divvying up school aid which is designed to eliminate funding gaps among school systems the maximum year-to-year reduction for a district's state funding was 3 percent For districts targeted by the past funding formula the last seven budgets have resulted in drastic cuts to funding that significantly exceeded the preliminary calculations they had made based on what they knew of the formula The drastic swings have led to supplemental legislation to try to assist districts faced with deep cuts including last year's one-time permission to some districts to seek a 9.9 percent increase in their property tax levy — exceeding the 2 percent cap instituted in 2010 under then-Gov It also has led to a larger outcry over changes in demands on school budgets that have altered the landscape for public schools that culminated in public
