S. Jersey Boys: Burlington City's Collins wins 700th

Burlington City coach Paul Collins won his 700th career game Tuesday with a 55-46 victory over Holy Cross in a Burlington County League basketball game.

Collins is in his sixth year as head coach at Burlington City. Before that, he coached Willingboro to more than 500 wins and had a stint at Riverside.

Collins is the fifth coach in South Jersey boys' basketball history to hit the 700-win mark, behind only Paul Rodio (St. Augustine), Clarence Turner (Camden), Jim Crawford (Camden Catholic), and Tom Ferraco (Middle Township).

Of that group, Rodio, Ferraco, and Collins are still active.
