Nolan Barnes led all scorers with 16 points and second-seeded Lenape played stifling defense throughout the game to edge 10th-seeded Cherokee 33-30 in the NJSIAA South Jersey, Group 4 quarterfinals in Medford.
The Indians (18-9) defeated their sister school for the third time this season and the second time by three points. They are one win away from making their fourth consecutive sectional final and will host either third-seeded Central Regional or sixth-seeded Kingsway in the semifinals.
