Stevens High School football team completed its first undefeated season in the school's history by running all over Middletown North to win the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV Championship, 35-0. yesterday. The win was forged behind hard running by the Stevens backs, an offensive line that controlled the line of scrimmage, and a defense that completely smothered every offensive threat by the Lions, to leave the Hawks with a 10-0-1 record for the season. "I hate to see the season end," said Stevens coach Joe Gutowski as he was mobbed by fans and players after the game. "These are just the greatest bunch of guvs I've ever coached." said Gutowski emotionally.

The Hawks were led by a three-touchdown performance from junior running back Nick Sottiriou, who scored twice in the second quarter to help the Hawks establish a 21-0 lead at the intermission.

The Pioneers reached their goal convincingly. After winning Central Jersey Group II last year. Somerville took care of the other half of the problem when it rapped Hightstown, 28-6, at Brooks Field for the Group III championship.

"We had a chance to put our names in the record book and we did." remarked an ecstatic Somerville head coach. Jerry Moore, after the victory. "I thought we played a super football game." The Pioneers were especially "super" in the first haif. The Rams were assessed 15 yards for delay of the game at the start when they arrived 15 minutes late for the opening kickoff and then the Pioneers added insult to injury by rolling to a 20-0 advantage by intermission. Hightstown head coach Don Colbert intended to use the late arrival as a psychological ploy, but the plan back-See, LATE, page B5 By JACK OAKLEY Home News sports editor LITTLE SILVER -Red Bank Regional was supposed to have a tough defense, but then it never met the likes of South River.

When it was all over, the Rams had dominated the Buccaneers en route to a 28-0 victory. With it went the Central Jersey Group II championship and made coach Bill Csatari "the happiest man in the world and South River the happiest town in the world."
