SPORTS by SUE McKinlev Wild wood Girl Hoopsters Suffer First CAL Loss

Wildwood's girls hoopsters hit the headlines last week and gave Middle Township something to smile about. The Warriors suffered their first loss, which puts the Panthers back in the race for the Cape Atlantic League (CAL) title. It was a one point tear jerker for the Wildwood fans as Buena knocked off the favored Warriors 30-29. Warrior Ro6e Hall hit a crucial foul shot which gave Wildwood a 29-28 advantage with 17 seconds remaining. FOR THOSE WHO never played the game, 17 seconds seems like an eternity when you are on defense. For an optimistic offense, it's plenty of time

to win a ball game. Buena intended to do just that. Bayanne Spivey received an inbounds pass, drove the ball down the court and hit Rose Seda for a point blank upsetter. Middle Township and Wildwood now have one loss apiece in the league. Wildwood did collect two wins last week; the first a 62-17 demolition of Lower Cape May. Ann Turner paced the Warriors with 15 points. The Wildwood leader canned 12 in the first stanza to give Wildwood a 20-2 lead and also hauled down 15 boards for the winners.

quarters. THE KNOCKOUT CAME swiftly in the fourth. Wildwood staggered the Crusaders with a 15-1 scoring explosion, earning *a 38-27 victory. Franni Barcas hit six of her 11 points in the final eight minutes and Ann Turner collected four of her 11 points in that span. The Warrior defense held Catholic star Kate Caruso to three points. The Crusaders were led by Hellen McBride, who picked up the slack with 11. The lady Panthers of Middle Township haven't exactly been sweeping their opponents off the court, but they've been winning. A 60-42 crusher over Sacred Heart was a blow out in Panther terms. Bev Grant had the basketball most of the

game; If she didn't, it was in the net. The Panther senior, probably the best guard in the CAL. hit for 26 points and a handful of assists. Panther Betsy Gilbert ripped down 13 rebounds and added 10 counters to the win. Kara McVey chipped in 10 for Middle and Gretchen Ritter led the Hearts with 23 points. EARLIER IN THE WEEK Middle enjoyed a seven point taker from St. Joe. The Panthers were propelled once again by Bev Grant with 17 sinkers. At the end of the third period. Middle trailed 24-23 as Gina Commerford canned three buckets in the stanza But Grant struck back with eight of her • team's 14 fourth quarter points. Cori Osborne, who has been spending a lot of time on the sick-bench, was feeling fine that afternoon as she put 10 points in the scorebook and controlled the Panther boards. The final Panther blow of the week was due to some accurate guns. While Absegami was concentrating on Panther star Bev Grant, Middle used secret weapons Michelle Greenwalt and Kara McVey to pick up the pieces. Greenwalt, a freshman, consistently sunk 20-foot bombs from the right while McVey struck with missies from the left. Greenwalt led the Panters with 15 perimeter pops while McVey added 14.
