'Q, 'O 'O 'O THE TITANS Puffin nop a timed rait Youthful Keansburg anxious to forget last year's 3-7 struggle sT By DEBBIE WALOEYER STAFF WRITER Al sk any Keansburg player what's different about this year, this particular team, in comparison to the recent past.

"Beating Mater Dei was motivational and gave us something to work from," said Frank Puglisi, a senior wide receivercornerback. After that win, the Titans started working toward this season. Days off from summer jobs were spent in the weight room, and outside, running for conditioning.
