Holy Spirit Wins In Stormy Surf «

OCEAN CITY - Ninety surfers from sixr high school and two college teams competed both with each other and the big surf of hurricane Josephine. In the hottly contested high school division Holy Spirit won the overall title without winning a single individual event, while the fantasUc performance of Mainland Regional's Dean Randzaao, who won two events single-handed, was not enough to overcome the Spartans' team depth. Inthe college division, Stocktons urfer Tom O'brian and Atlantic Community College's Bruce Beach fought it out throughout the whole event, as Stockton rolled to a 76-53 victory. CONDITIONS for the event were extreme at the least, with five-foot waves building during the day to

well over eight foot by the time of the final heats. . Giant waves and northeast winds were probably the reason why the surf team from Lower Cape MayRegional high school left without surfing in a single heat, discretion being the

better part of valor. RESULTS; College Men: 1. Bruce Beach, ACC; 2. Tom O'brian, SSC; 3. Joe Grottola, SCC. High School Men: 1. Dean Randazso, MRHA; 2. Jim Bowdler, HSHS; 3.
