The Record from Hackensack, New Jersey • 49

High School THE SUNDAY RECORD, NOVEMBER 23, 1980 15 awthorn South Carolina McGuire carries St Mary's to title remaining in the second overtime to lift the Gaels to their first State football championship since 1976. "It's something we put in during the third week of the season," said Stonis, "but we've only had a chance to use it four times because everyone has keyed on Joe. We have four different calls from the formation, but for some unknown reason, they didn't see him McGuire behind Benn O'Hara." play right away." Hawthorne's decision to choose a college before beginning his senior year of high school basketball was quite different from the approach taken by Wood-Ridge's highly recruited player of two years ago, Fred Ketcho. "With Freddie, it was a choice between Lehigh and Princeton," Wood-Ridge coach Herb Cohen said. "He finally chose Lehigh on the last day.

I'm delighted Jim will have the opportunity to play for a guy like Bill Foster. He's one of the finest coaches in the country." With Hawthorne in the lineup the past three seasons, the Blue Devils have compiled a 73-9 record, three BCSL Olympic National titles, two Group 1, North Jersey Section 1 championships, and a State Group 1 crown in 1978-79. JACK O'CONNELL WOOD-RIDGE Jim Hawthorne, who was expected to draw a flock of college basketball scouts to Wood-Ridge High School this season, put an early end to the recruiting battle today by signing a letter of intent to attend the University of South Carolina next year. Hawthorne, a 6-foot-3 guard who averaged 21.6 points a game last season for the Bergen County Scholastic League Olympic Division champion Blue Devils, recently visited the South Carolina campus as well as those of Villanova and Holy Cross. "We were extremely pleased to hear of Jim's decision," South Carolina coach Bill Foster said, "because of the great feeling that our entire coaching staff has for him as both a player and a young man.

Both our starting guards are seniors this year, and we were searching for someone to flu and a groin injury that had forced him to miss one other game this season, the Gaels' scoreless tie with St. Cecilia. "I thought someone would be there but they weren't." "I hadn't seen them play," said Stonis. "But some scouts had said we would have to score twice to beat them. Fortunately, our defense came through again.

We have nine guys playing both ways and they did a great job. We have emphasized the team since our first day and you have to name them all today. "We came up short last year," added Stonis, whose team was beaten by Pope John, 18-0, in last year's semifinals. "Pavick got hurt in the game and it seemed like everybody was trying to overcom-pensate. We were juniors then so maybe we just needed the time.

But now it's our time." 80th year) By Bob Zimmerer Correspondent RUTHERFORD St. Mary's running back Joe McGuire has been the leading scorer for the Gaels throughout the 1980 season, scoring 15 touchdowns. None, however, was as important as No. 15, which carried the Gaels to a 6-0, double-overtime victory over Pope John and to the Parochial North State football title yesterday. While the character in the winning touchdown was familiar, the play was not.

The Gaels (8-0-1) used a play that head coach Bill Stonis termed "special." With the offensive line and the backfield spread wide, quarterback Greg Pavick called McGuire's number and hit the senior running back with a five-yard pass at the 14-yard line. McGuire then broke up the middle and scored with three minutes w-ws- 114. i Bergen Catholic's Bob Doidge brings i ff lift 1 IS' 74 TB SNOW BITER "goes thru ice, mud and snow!

In the third period, he deflected a shot by Gary Maccaroni, and midway through the fourth, he headed away a smash by the Fighting Irish's Anthony Verrilli.

Zurita tied the score in the second quarter, but the Ramapo defense, led by fullbacks Roger Vergnes, Karl and Todd Van Vliet, limited further Englewood opportunities, while the offense steadily increased its corner-kick advantage.

Eastern Christian was unbeaten in its last nine games, allowing only six goals.

"And we hustled and had good opportunities, as witnessed by the number of corner kicks. Zurita came close a couple of times, but we didn't give him many opportunities to move the ball." Zurita, playing with a heavily-taped Boys soccer ankle, had a chance to win the game in the closing seconds of the second overtime. From 15 yards away, the diminutive striker booted a shot that was heading for the upper corner of the goal, ut Ramapo goaltender Mike Saalfrank punched the shot over his net. If that shot had found its mark, Englewood coach Harry Bassett might have feit guilty. "We didn't deserve to win," said Bassett, whose 21-4 team ends the season with the most victories in the County.
