Winslow junior Jayson Nelson took on the rushing load as Winslow topped Shawnee 26-23 in the South Jersey Group 4 championship game
On a chilly Friday night in Medford, Winslow's basketball team emerged victorious in their final sectional game, claiming their fourth consecutive title. Running back Jayson Nelson, who stepped up in a bigger role, scored the game-winning fourth-quarter touchdown to keep the Eagles' winning streak alive. The junior's powerful running style helped keep Winslow's offense moving, finishing with 87 yards on 16 carries.
The team's resilience was evident, as they overcame injuries and adversity throughout the season. Head coach Jamal White praised his players for their dedication and love for the game, stating that they "have great things inside them." Following their sectional championship, Winslow will face Atlantic City in the state semifinals next week, aiming for their third straight state title.
