"We had to control the play at the line. I knew that would be the key," said the Maple Shade football coach.

Maple Shade did just that, literally locking up Penns Grove's fleet-footed backs in their own backfield most of the day while chalking up a ISA victory. The Shaders' fifth shutout of the season was no surprise to Mike Holloway, a junior guard-linebacker who was one of several standouts for Ranniello's club. "The guys on defense strive to do a good job each time out because the offense gets the a little more publicity," said Holloway. "I'm not surprised (with the shutout) we have a pretty tight unit." The defense held Penns Grove on the very first series, forced a punt and then let the offense do its job. The Shaders drove 47 yards in a 12-play series, with Mike Koehl, Ralph Banti voglio and Rich Moule breaking off sizeable chunks.

Then, on a fourth-and-three at Penns Grove's four, Koehl bolted across on a pitch right behind a clearing block by Joe Mazeika. Randy Read's placement made it 7-0 with 9:27 left in the opening quarter. Although neither team mounted much of an offense for the next two and a half quarters, Maple Shade's ability to keep Penns Grove bottled up was the more important factor. "John Zak and Mazeika gave us excellent play at tackle while our ends (Curt Sellitto and Gary Love) forced their outside game inside," said Ranniello. "If they do get to the outside, Joe Ziccardi and Jim Naurath (Maple Shade's comer-backs) are there and they tackle like bandits." And if anything came inside, Holloway and Dan Jiannetto were there to help from their spots behind the line.

"The defense was no surprise at all they've been doing the job all year," added Ranniello. The Shaders' timing was off after the first scoring drive, but things really popped early in the fourth period after a decisive defensive stand. KenOIlek recovered a Maple Shade fumble on the 34 to set Penns Grove up in great field position. But, three plays later on a fourth and one, Red Devil quarterback Don Allen tried to roll left and ran into the devastating hit of Mazeika and Ziccardi. No gain the Shaders took possession.

What followed was an excellent example of power football. Consuming 6:42 on the clock. Maple Shade drove 73 yards in 16 plays. "We didn't do anything fancy, just dives and traps," said Holloway. Koehl picked up 32 yards and Bontivoglio 33, with Koehl going the final seven yards over Mazeika's block, breaking several tackles on his way in.

By MARY ELLEN DRISCOLL Courier-Post Staff WEST WINDSOR All season long, the field hockey players from Willingboro High longed to play a perfect, flawless game. They came as close as humanly possible Saturday afternoon, upending Westfield, 3-0, to capture the NJSIAA Group 4 title at Mercer County Park here. Although Jackie Campbell scored all three goals, it was far from a one-girl show. The superb center forward finished her three-year Chimera career with 77 goals, including 37 this season, breaking the two-year-old record of 33 by Collingswood's Debbie Tweed. The Courier-Post Cup winner benefitted from outstanding performances from everyone.

The Chimeras' execution was flawless, their stickwork superb, their passes excellent. Their all-around game was such that Westfield had neither a shot on goal nor a corner the entire game. More than just the right combination of athletes at the right time, however, the Willingboro players feel this was almost a title that was predetermined. "The teachers' strike last year was very frustrating," said senior forward Debbie Faktorow, who capped a We do professional work We do only the work you authorize Lube and Oil Qiange PROTECTS MOVING PARTS HELPS ENSURE QUIET OPERATION Oil mi litn if Needed. licirtet ti 5 qnm '34 mm 10n til Complete chassis lubrication and oil change Helps ensure smooth performance, reduces the chances of wear Please call for appointment Include light trucks.

From the very start, the line, with Campbell, Faktorow, Coleen Schroeder, Carol Pacheo and Heather Swangler. was on the move, collecting eight corners in the first half. But, it took almost the entire half before Jackie Williams, on a super stop of a pass headed out of the circle, fed Campbell for the first goal. "We've always been a slow-starting team, picking up the momentum as we go along," said an enthused Campbell.

"I know, when we were here the first time, I felt I didn't contribute much, so I wanted to make up for it "The game plan was to have everybody mark her girl, making sure they couldn't get off the shots," said Faktorow. "That's just what we did." Link Cathy Schrier, halfbacks Williams, Kelly Shaw and Sandy Jaskol, in yet another outstanding performance, and sweeper Sheri Delk backed up the offense very well, keeping pressure on Westfield the entire game and off Chimeras' goalie Alice Vianneau.

While the long pass may have lifted Boro's spirits, it didn't curtail the Rams. Johnson broke a 50-yarder up the gut to set up his one-yard burst moments later. But late in the third period. Smith took his club 80 yards, highlighted by a 34-yard pass to Mike Stango. With a first-and-goal at the seven, Boro chipped it in a couple plays later with Smith going over from a yard out.

A costly fumble by Salem set Boro up on the nine early in the fourth quarter and, three plays later, Smith took it in from the four as the Panthers posted a 20-12 edge. Salem regrouped and followed up a muffed punt recovery to bang in its final score only to find the two-point conversion elusive one final time. "Salem has a fine team," said Saner.

PLEASANT BORO-Saiem High School won the battle but lost the war in a rematch of last year's South Jersey Group 2 finalists here Saturday. Host Pt.

Pleasant Boro pulled off the big plays in the second half and took advantage of Salem's inability to complete any conversion attempts to take a 20-18 victory in the Group 2 semifinal. The Rams, who were shut out by Penns Grove a week earlier, rolled up close to 200 yards rushing (Boro had 64 and added another 73 in the air 79 for Boro) to hold a statistical advantage over the host team. But quarterback Earl Smith, who finished with a net five yards rushing in 11 attempts, scored two short-yardage tojchdowns and completed two key passes that set up TDs and Bob Taggart booted two placement points to spark the Panthers. "We went there to play and I felt, after the game, we were a better ball club," said veteran Salem Coach Sam Venuto. "They got 23 yards rushing in the first half.

"On the extra points, one was a busted play. was so close one official signaled it good, but he was overruled." "In a tight ball game, you need something to change the momentum around," said Boro Coach Al Saner. "They handled us pretty good in the first half. Earl's passes provided us with the spark we needed in the second half." After Boro had scored twice in the third quarter and once early in the fourth to take a 20-12 lead, Randy Johnson brought the Rams ever so close to victory. The sterling senior halfback, who finished with 125 yards rushing on the day, bulled his way over several potential tacklers for a 10-yard TO with 1 :15 remaining in the game.

But Johnson's run for the conversion points was smothered at the goal line and ruled unsuccessful. Salem had drawn first blood in the opening quarter when John Sum-miel's fumble recovery turned the ball over to the Rams on their own 39. James Niblock engineered an 11-play drive that was capped with a 28-yard scoring pass to Tim Jones. The hosts, after finding yards at a premium in the first half, started to click in the third quarter. Smith hit Dino DeLisa with a 36-yard aerial early in the third quarter to set his team on Salem's 10.
