He is making an ungodly amount of money for someone his age - $1,514,280 - yet he is still required to stop and pick up doughnuts for his teammates. He is lonely at times, bored, too, and missing many things he loved on the other side of the country. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20091113_Bob_Cooney__Brand_an_early_concern_for_Sixers.html IT'S EIGHT GAMES into the season, hardly enough time to have a full grasp on this 76ers team. We all know it has a new coach, a general manager about to celebrate only his second anniversary with the team, and a roster devoid of an upper-echelon player. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20090924_Bob_Cooney__Washington_Township_airing_it_out.html IT WAS A MOVE a long time in the waiting for Washington Township coach Mark Wechter. Now, he's able to let the dogs out. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20090925_Bob_Cooney__Sixers_coach_Jordan_gives_reporters_a_Princeton_offense_lesson.html THERE'S A NEW offense in town, and the head coach talked at length about it yesterday after a luncheon, and even used media members to demonstrate how it will work. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20090917_Bob_Cooney__Camden_starts_season_strong_with_win_over_Camden_Catholic.html IT DIDN'T MATTER that the opposition was considered by many as the best in South Jersey and ranked as high as third in the state. All coach Durwin Pearson wanted his Camden High football players to do was win the first game. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20090910_Bob_Cooney__Camden_Catholic_tops_preseason_South_Jersey_Top_10.html THE QUARTERBACK has already committed to play for the University of Wisconsin. The tight end, who doubles as the team's defensive end, could play for any college. And the 6-7 wide receiver just might be the best athlete on the team. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bob_cooney/20090606_Bob_Cooney__Shawnee_out_to_capture_New_Jersey_baseball_title_today.html THE HITTING has been timely, if not overpowering. The pitching has been outstanding, and today, Shawnee (18-6) is on the verge of capturing the Group 3 state championship when it travels to Toms River East to face JFK-Iselin.
