Tigers Regain League Title

*, by David Weinberg The Lower Cape May wrestling team saw their 11-match winning streak come to an end ht the hands of non-conference opponent Vineland as the Poultry Clan snatched a 25-19 victory two weeks ago. That loss was quickly forgotten, however, as the Capers used victories over Buena, 31-20, and Hammonton, 33-22, to regain the Cape Atlantic League championship last week. On Wednesday against Buena, owners of the

league title the last two seasons, the Capers seesawed through the first nine bouts. After .Jim Sharlpley dropped an 11-1 decision to Anthony Santoro in the opening match, Bill and John Porter both grabbed shutout wins to give the Capers a 6-4 lead. THAT WAS quickly erased in the 122 pound bout as Buena's Domingo Rivera decisioned injury-riddled Mike Laffey 15-7 for an 8-6 Buena advantage. Victor Romeo and Paul lames won the 129 and 135 pound.
