Camden County Public Works crews, residents and businesses brace another round of rain in New Jersey
Beginning at 6 a.m. Friday, Camden County Public Works crews were making the rounds with the threat of heavy rain and potential flooding. "Checking the inlets, all the storm inlets, all the drainage outlets, making sure they're clear of any debris," said Bob Harris, director of Public Works. CBS News Philadelphia caught up with the team in Bellmawr near Kings Highway and West Browning Road. Most of the storm drains were clear, but some had to be vacuumed out in order for the water to flow freely. "The pipe could back up in several directions and it could affect the other side of the road, you'll get water ponding on the road," Harris said. Perhaps no one knows the impact of flooding like Vinny Morelli. "It's a low point here and the next thing you know, within a matter of minutes, we got three foot of water out here," Morelli said. Morelli recorded video about two weeks ago when he said part of the Black Horse Pike flooded, and the water started filling his family's store, Tony Morelli's Market in Glendora. Now, he's bracing for another round of rain. "Before we leave tonight, we'll make sure everything is off the floor, we go into our flood protocol," he said. Morelli said compressors on the store's refrigerators have broken, doors have been damaged, and he's hoping for a long-term solution before heading into summer. "I was in contact with the mayor's office three times already this week. They say they got engineers from the state and local levels, they got things going," Morelli said. Back in Bellmawr, as crews packed it in for the day, they said they will also be ready to respond later Friday night. "We'll have a standard crew on call just in case we get a tree, an issue with a tree or a tree limb, same thing if there's flooding," Harris said.

Brayden Burries delivers historic performance to lead Roosevelt to state championship
The show that Brayden Burries of Eastvale Roosevelt put on at Golden 1 Center on Saturday night in the state Open Division championship game against San Francisco Riordan was historic. Fans who watched him make 10 of 13 shots and score 27 points in the first half, ranging from three-point baskets to layups after grabbing a rebound and dribbling coast to coast, will remember his absolute brilliance. One of the best 16 minutes of high school basketball I've ever seen by an individual. 27 points by Brayden Burries. 10 of 13 shots. 44-33 Roosevelt over Riordan. — eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) March 16, 2025 The 6-foot-5 senior couldn't and wouldn't be stopped. He was in one of those rare athletic trances that brings out moments of greatness. He finished with 44 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and led Roosevelt (35-2) to its first Open Division state title with an emphatic 80-60 victory over Riordan. Burries set an Open Division scoring record (the previous record was 35 points) and ranks as one of the best individual playoff performances in Southern California playoff history. Tracy Murray scored 64 points in the 1989 state Division II final for Glendora at the Oakland Coliseum and Dwayne Polee scored 43 points against Crenshaw in the 1981 City Section championship game before 14,123 at the Sports Arena. Burries made 15 of 22 shots, was four of six from three-point range and made 10 of 12 free throws. Roosevelt made 21 of 23 free throws as a team. "Unbelievable," Roosevelt coach Stephen Singleton said of Burries' performance. "Best player in the history of Roosevelt. No. 5 is going to be retired. Nobody is better. He stepped up in the biggest moment on the biggest stage. He'll be playing here one day." Said Burries: "I feel like before the game, I was listening to a lot of gospel music. I was just in a zone. I woke up feeling great. We had our shootaround and had the chemistry, 'We can't lose this one tonight.' We had to finish the story. It was great time out there. I wish we had another game. It was amazing." Coach Stephen Singleton. — eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) March 16, 2025 Burries still hasn't announced a college choice, with Arizona making a strong choice. His sidekick, point guard Myles Walker, had another terrific game, scoring 15 points. Jasir Rancher scored 22 points for Riordan, which finished 29-2. In describing what he saw in the first half from Burries, Walker said he was "unconscious." "I think he's the best player in the nation," Walker said. Burries is set to play in the McDonald's All-American game. He has left a legacy at Roosevelt that will be long remembered. Sign up for the L.A.
