2025 Hall of Fame Inductees
Dave Allen, Coach
Dave “DA” Allen’s coaching career spans over two decades, during which he has solidified his reputation as a coach who excels at rebuilding struggling programs and elevating strong ones to even greater heights. Allen revitalized basketball programs at Eastern and Cherry Hill West and enhanced the tradition of excellence at Cherry Hill East. He amassed over 400 career wins, 28 playoff victories, six South Jersey Group IV Final appearances, two South Jersey Group IV Championships, and one New Jersey State Final appearance. Under his leadership, his teams have also secured three Olympic Conference Championships.
Allen’s career began at Eastern High School, where he took over a team that had gone 6-17 in back-to-back seasons. In 2002, he guided the Vikings to their first-ever South Jersey Group IV Final appearance, earning the No. 1 seed in the Group IV playoffs and finishing ranked No. 4 in South Jersey and No. 18 in New Jersey. At Cherry Hill West, Allen turned around a program that had won just three games in the four years prior to his arrival. By 2009, he led the Lions to a 17-win season, and by 2010, the team earned a preseason No. 5 ranking.
At Cherry Hill East, Allen built upon an already top program and took it to new heights. In 2012, he led the Cougars to their first South Jersey Group IV Final appearance in over two decades, finishing the season ranked No. 5 in South Jersey. In 2014, he guided the team to its first-ever South Jersey Group IV Championship, earning a No. 1 playoff seed and finishing ranked No. 4 in South Jersey and No. 8 in New Jersey. The following year, in 2015, Allen led Cherry Hill East to its first New Jersey State Group IV Final, claiming a second South Jersey Group IV Championship along the way. That historic season included an 18-0 home record and top rankings of No. 3 in South Jersey and No. 5 in New Jersey Group IV.
In 2022, Allen coached Cherry Hill East to a record-breaking 28-win season, the most in school history, with just two losses. The Cougars claimed an Olympic Conference Championship, reached the South Jersey Group IV Final, earned the No. 1 seed in the Group IV playoffs, and achieved top rankings of No. 3 in South Jersey, No. 4 in New Jersey Group IV, and No. 14 in New Jersey. His achievements have been recognized with numerous accolades, including South Jersey Coach of the Year honors in 2014 from Al Carino Boys Basketball Club, Courier-Post, and Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as Olympic Conference Coach of the Year in 2020.
Allen credits much of his coaching philosophy to his high school coach, the legendary John Valore, whose leadership, commitment, and focus on teaching, planning, and preparation set the standard for excellence and deeply shaped Allen’s approach to the game. He also acknowledges his college coach, Mike Holland, a Hall of Fame coach at Arcadia University, whose exceptional coaching and success in building winning teams had a profound impact on Allen’s coaching philosophy.

Greg Goodwin, Coach (Posthumously)
Coach Goodwin is being inducted posthumously. He passed away after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. Goodwin was 63.
As soon as you entered a gym, you could tell if Greg Goodwin was coaching. Because of his passion for the game, he was the loudest coach in the Cape-Atlantic League, maybe in South Jersey, shouting instructions to his players (and, occasionally, to a referee or two).
And he was also one of the most successful.
He coached boys’ basketball at St. James, Millville (his alma mater) and Absegami. He had a lot to do with getting the Absegami boys lacrosse program going and coached there. But it was in girls’ basketball where he made history.
Goodwin, who died after a long battle with cancer, won two state titles with the Absegami girls (back-to-back in 2005 and 2006). Wildwood’s Dave Troiano won three straight state crowns, Middle Township’s Gary Barber and Atlantic City’s Joe Fussner each also won two straight. Goodwin won five South Jersey championships. Only Paul Baruffi (eight) and Troiano (six) had more among girls’ coaches at CAL schools.
His 227-54 record with the Absegami girls puts him 11th in CAL history in wins (Mainland’s Scott Betson just passed him this year) but his won-lost percentage (.808) is fourth all-time behind Fussner, Pleasantville’s Steve Ottenberg and Egg Harbor Township’s Sam Botta.
"As a coach, he was a competitor," said longtime Ocean City boys’ basketball coach John Bruno. "His teams always played hard, were well coached but more importantly the players always came first. Our team always battled each other on the court but when the game was over, we both knew what was most important wasn’t whether who won or lost but that both teams competed to the best of their ability. He mentored so many young players who I am sure benefitted a great deal from the life lessons he taught to them as they grew into adulthood."
