The Haddonfield girls' soccer championship coach steps aside.
Glenn Gess wants to see his son and daughter grow up. One of the most successful coaches in the history of Haddonfield Memorial High School officially announced last week that he was stepping down from his storied girls' soccer program. Now, he'll have time to coach his son, Derek, in soccer and watch his daughter, Briana, compete with the Bulldawgs cross-country team next fall. “I know a lot of coaches who regret missing time watching their own kids compete,” Gess said. “I can't do that. It was an extremely tough decision to give up coaching, but one I had to make.” Gess said he knew this would be his final season back in the summer, but having all those months to prepare didn’t make stepping away any easier. “I knew in August this would …

The boys' and girls' cross-country team clinched conference championships, highlighting another good week for the Bulldawgs.
As the fall season heads toward the home stretch, the Haddonfield Memorial High School athletic program is busy collecting more hardware. The boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams each completed a perfect regular season, while the girls’ tennis team advanced to the South Jersey Group 2 finals. The girls’ soccer team also inched closer to a conference title, but saw its home winning streak end in the South Jersey Coaches Cup. BOYS’ CROSS-COUNTRY Haddonfield stretched its remarkable dual meet winning streak to 152 and clinched the Colonial Conference title along the way. The Bulldawgs—who have the seventh-longest streak (active or inactive) in the country—swept Haddon Heights, Haddon Township and Sterling. Greg Halla produced the meet’s …

Haddonfield girls' soccer falls 1-0 to Cherry Hill East in the Coaches Cup tournament.
A corner kick that looked to be going harmlessly out-of-bounds took an unlucky bounce, and just like that, Haddonfield's 87-game unbeated streak at Scout Field came to an end Friday at the hands of Cherry Hill East in the Coaches Cup tournament. The Cougars' Alex Manofu fired what would be the decisive shot with just over three minutes left in the game, giving her team the upset victory over the No. 4-seeded Bulldawgs. For Haddonfield, it ended a streak that dated back to 2004 on their home field.

Haddonfield has not lost at Scout Field in eight years under coach Glenn Gess.
When Cherry Hill East hits the road for the opening round of the Coaches Tournament, the team won't just be taking on the Group 2 juggernaut that is Haddonfield. They'll also be taking on a piece of land. Scout Field is like many other soccer fields in Camden County. Its dimensions are standard and conditions are decent. In every way, the field is fair. Yet, for the Haddonfield Memorial High School girls’ soccer program, Scout Field might as well be holy ground—a place so sacred to Haddonfield that others dare not trespass on it, or they will leave a lesser team. Eighty-seven times a bus has dropped off a visiting girls’ soccer team, and 87 times that same bus has been there to take the team home absent of a victory. The fact that …

The girls' soccer team finally let up a goal last week, but it didn't keep them from remaining undefeated.
The phenomenal shutout streak put together by the Haddonfield Memorial High School girl’s soccer team came to an end last week, but the Bulldawgs’ perfect record did not. Meanwhile the boys’ soccer and tennis team’s kept putting wins on the board and the Haddonfield girls' cross-country team had a strong showing in Jackson.

Freshman Drew Tomlinson connected on an 18-yard field goal with 56 seconds left to give the Bulldawgs a 16-13 win over Sterling on Friday.
Members of the Haddonfield Memorial High School football team run toward and yell at freshman kicker Drew Tomlinson every Thursday. They jump around, shout random things and do just about anything they can think of to distract the young kicker in practice. The ritual is not a form of hazing; instead it is for preparation. That preparation resulted in execution and ultimately victory, Friday night. Tomlinson drilled an 18-yard field goal with 56 seconds remaining to lift Haddonfield to a 16-13 win over Sterling in Colonial Conference action. The kick came after the Bulldawgs were stopped at the half yard-line on third-and-goal. Tomlinson, along with the rest of the field goal team, jogged onto the field and calmly delivered the game winner…
