They're a very humble and thankful ball club." The Burls didn't look humble in Saturday's victory before 8,213 in Convention Hall, the largest crowd of the tourney. Burlington zipped to a 4-0 lead and never relinquished it, though Roselle Park caused some anxious moments in the waning minutes. Despite Pastushok's 20 first talking about was a 6-4, 210-pound senior named Neil Pastu-shok, wno scored 40 points and all but three of the Panthers' 14 field goals. Despite the most brilliant individual performance of the 48th annual NJSIAA tournament, the Burls employed the balance they've relied upon all season to overcome Pastushok's effort. Burlington placed four players in double figures, led by All-South Jersey star Milt Hutty (19).

When Bill Burr's Burlington High quintet captured the cherished championship trophy Saturday afternoon, the Blue Devils became the fourth straight team from South Jersey to win the state crown in Group 2. Unbeaten Salem did the Job in 1963, Ocean City in '61 and Merchantville last year. But beyond that, South Jersey was pretty much relegated to run-nerup positions. There can't be any disgrace in that, but much disappointment to the likes of Sterling, Williamstown and Wildwood Catholic. Roselle Park coach Joe Flaherty's prophecy that Burlington would have trouble finding someone to stop Neil Pastaushok had merit but the 6-4 senior had plenty of defensive immunity from some early officiating.
