great team defense the rest , .'of the way to slowly •pull ahead of the one dimensional Caper .team. Lower stands at 3-5 and Middle holds down second place at 9 and 1. In first place, and no surprise, is Wildwood Catholic. Last week, The Crusaders ran their reebrd to 11-1 on the year with two easy wins. Mary Gavin must have had the number 24 in her head as shescored two dozen points in each contest. -K WILDWOOD CATHOLIC rolled over riv^I Wildwood . 71-28 af Kelly Caruso and Jackie Cowan each scored 11 points to hack Gavin. W.C. held a 38-7 half time edge before cruising to’the win. Kathy Gentek led the Warriors with seven points. The next day, Wildwood Catholic’s full-court press forced 28 turnovers as the Crusadbrs downed Absegami 86 to 32 Michelle Bacino and Janice Boyle handled supporting cast rolls with 12 points each. It went-to the buzzer for v Ocean City last week as the ' Raiders slipped past Mainland 38-36., Lisa Crompton hit the pressure shot with one second left for the margin of victory. Crompton scored 12 points, leading the Raiders to the come-frorp -behind win. Mitch Leonard swept the 50 and 100 freestyle and Rob As tie took the 100 butterfly and the 200 individual medly but that wasn’t enough for Ocean City against Millville’s swimming. Millville took a two-point win, 39-37. LOWER CAPE MAY was the only local wrestling team to pick up a win last week with a 39-28 victory over St. Joseph at ■ Hammonton. MiddleWeights John Donaldson and Sean Brennan recorded pins in the first period. John Porter won his match by forfeit setting the stage for the Brennan fall and the final Lower points of the evening. The Capers raised their record to 3-2-1 on the. year. The Crusaders of Wildwood Catholic remained winless on the year • dropping two matches last week. In an interdivisional match, W.C. lost to Bridgeton 32-20 and St. Augustine recorded five falls and was given two forfeits in a 56-12 clubbing of Wildwood Catholic. Middle Township ran up against the Mays brothers and Oakcrest and came away shell-shocked. Vince Mays pinned heavyweight Steve Jones in the second period on the way to a 56-13 rout of Middle. Chris Mays had the night off, given a

forfeit in the match. THE OCEAN CITY Pinelands match Vent down to the /inal two weight classes before the visiting Wildcats topped 'O.C. 28-24 The most exciting bout was the heavyweight, class, featuring Oakcrest’s Brian Constantine and Raider Trip £dyder. It ended 20-15 with Constantine coming from behind. Kevin Clarke advanced his record to 11-0 with a superior decision and-Tun Givens came up with a first period pin. With the loss, Ocean City fell to 34-1 on the season. The Super Bowl last Sunday was > bit disappointing. It was supposed tc be a classic match-up, but it turned out to be the biggest blowout in the history of the Super Bowl. Los Angeles took control early and never looked back. They totally dominated every facet of the game. Marcus Allen, the best athlete in the game, was a real treat * to watch .The Redskins can be stopped if you stop John Riggins and that is what the Raiders did. Joe ‘fheismann is not the league's most valuable. player when Riggins is .on the side lines. The best team won. I just wish the game would have been a little closer. I think the Washington Bullets figured out how to beat the Philadelphia 76er» — slow things down. The Bullets use muscle and a snail’s pace to stop the world champions. Maybe other teams should look at this game plan. One more thing: how about those Cleveland Cavaliers? t No easy mark any more.
