Halftime talk lifts Panthers

Posted via CourierPostOnline.com:

Collingswood High School junior guard Nadirah Robinson enjoys rebounding the basketball, but she also has a knack for getting into the passing lanes and making big steals.

She did both very well Saturday afternoon in her team's 36-23 victory over Haddon Heights in a Colonial Conference Liberty Division game.

Robinson finished with a game-high 15 points and added seven rebounds and five steals for the Panthers (15-10). She and fellow starter Samantha Gregg, who added 10 points, helped their team outscore host Heights 22-13 in the second half, including 12-5 in the third quarter.

The double doors swung open before him. Standing behind Joe Albertson, snaking down the staircase from the locker room, was the Collingswood High School boys' basketball team.

Albertson sprang through the doorway for a recent home game against Haddon Heights into a new world for him and the other two members of the "Water Crew," Carissa Schlichting and Michael Campos.
