HIGH SCHOOL THE RECORD C-3 Defeat dimes mat. sirooiKrt Glen Rock's season FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 22, 1991 I 7 SOCCER By Greg Mattura Correspondent EWING TOWNSHIP For Glen Rock, winning the Group 1 State title would have been "icing on the cake." Glen Rock baked a tasty cake heading into Thursday night's final, but was denied an equally delicious frosting when Montgomery posted a 1-0 New Jersey State In-terscholastic Athletic Association victory at Trenton State College. The Rockers were remarkably calm, poised, and receptive following what most participants might consider a life-or-death situation. Coach Tom Wilson and Co.

answered every question with remarkable ease. "I feel good," said Wilson. "How many teams get this far? We played all the way to the end. It's our first time, and hopefully well be here again." "Winning this would have toppped the whole season off," senior midfielder Matt Hall said. "Winning would have been icing on the cake, but I feel pretty good just to have gotten here." "If you win, you win, if you lose, you can't do anything about it," senior goalie Andrew Kaplan said.

"If we had another 10 minutes, we'd play our hearts out." Glen Rock's (18-2-1) attitude should not be misconstrued as apathetic. The Rockers played hard; they desperately wanted to win. What made the loss easier to stomach was knowing they had climbed a remarkable hurdle to reach the final Prior to this season, Glen Rock was a perennial Group 1 semifinal failure. When the Rockers defeated Brearley Regional Monday, 3-2, it marked their first semifinal win after four consecutive losses. "We get over that hump, finally," Wilson, in his ninth season, said.

"We called it 'The We had a lot of problems, took a lot of kidding, for that." It was only the second time this season GlfJn Rock was shut out. The Rockers, averaging 2.75 goals in their first 20 games, outshot the Cougars, 13-11, but were denied by two late second-half saves. A great save by someone other than the goalie thwarted Glen Rock's best scoring opportunity, with just over 14 minutes left. Junior forward Craig Goldband actually beat senior goalie Conrad Tt iM Trevor Bryan of Glen Rock blasting a shot as teammate Michael Daily Richards look on.

Wingback Barry Musto also closed in on 100 points, finishing with 88. Hackensack coach Greg Toal was the fullback and Hasbrouck Heights coach Nick Delcalzo was Musto's backup. Fanuzzi earned a full scholarship to Kentucky, Manfredi to Columbia, and Toal the following season to Virginia Tech. When Chuck Johnson left Bogota to coach Ridgewood in 1984, his Maroons began a string of four consecutive victories over Bergen Catholic. The Johnson-era series now is tied at 4-4, with the Crusaders having won the last four meetings.

Saturday's meeting of the playoff-bound teams continues the rivalry that began in 1983. "The schools are three miles apart on the same street," says Johnson. "I'd say that constitutes a rivalry." If you think Ridgewood's grueling stretch against St. Joseph, Kennedy, and Bergen Catholic is formidable, the Maroons played six State-ranked teams last season East-side, Passaic, Bloomfield, Montclair, St. Joseph, and Bergen Catholic.

For those still reeling in Fair Lawn from the team's near-miss in the playoffs, this should make things clearer. than 100 points Karl Lorenz (132) and Bruce Klnmouth (128) and he's curious if their 260 total points is a County record. However, the record is 297 points by Billy Teubner (150) and Shawn Carpenter (147) of the 1983 Emerson team. Next is Mike Fanuzzl (142) and Rich Manfredl (124) of 1969 Hasbrouck Heights with 266, followed by Lorenz and Kinmouth. In 1965, Dave Stack (113) and Bill Rabadan (100) of Bergen Catholic combined for 213.

Speaking of that '69 Heights team, which was coached by Pete LaBarblera, it still holds the State record for points in a season 478. The playoff system had not been adopted and the Aviators were undefeated in nine games. Included were a 78-20 win over Leonia, 66-0 over Palisades Park, 66-8 over Cresskill, and 65-14 over Westwood. About 7,000 fans regularly attended their home games, wondering if a game could be The Paramus Catholic power game prevailed Thursday in a State Group 4 clash of County-champion volleyball teams. Lynda Yoon and Janet Duch each had 10 kills in leading the Bergen County champs to a 15-1, 15-3 sweep of Clifton, Passaic County's best.

Yoon also had four service aces and Loni Marksbury had nine service points and five aces for the Paladins (28-1). Loretta Zahn and Betty Ann Franko stood out for Clifton. Top-seeded Memorial of West New York stayed unbeaten and set the stage for its championship showdown with Paramus Catholic by downing stubborn Lakeland in three games, 9-15, 15-3, 15-5. Ga-briella Tacuri had only one misfire as she made 45 spikes, 25 of which were kills. Susie Diaz had 24 spikes and eight kills, and Margarita Tacuri had 75 sets.

Memorial and Paramus Catholic meet 5:15 p.m. Saturday at Fair Lawn. Group 3 Christine Sacco had 13 spikes, nine kills, and nine blocks as top-seeded Northern Valley Old Tap-pan eliminated Paramus, 15-4, 15-12. Tina Bucciarelli added 12 service points and DyanDeBrino had 23 sets. Second-seeded Tenafly also advanced, 15-4, 12-15, 15-7, in a wild match with third-seeded Pascack Valley.

The Tigers (22-3) meet Old Tappan (25-1) at 4 p.m. Saturday at Fair Lawn for the title. Chris Smilari had seven service points and 10 kills for Tenafly, joined by Liz Saperstein's six kills and five service points, Stephanie Habif 11 service points and 38 assists; and Aimee Nussbaum's 12 service points and 10 digs. Group 2 Nine spikes each from Tara Magi and Julie Steffen led Mahwah to a 15-2, 15-3 win over Lynd-, hurst in State Group 2. Aliann Narciso had six spikes and served for six service points to go along with four kills by Magi and nine service points by Steffen.

defender the ball away before it reached the net. "We had a couple of opportunities," said Wilson. "But their goalie came up big and their full back came up big." Kaplan lost a bid to raise his Glen Rock single-season shutout record to 15 when Montgomery (14-4-2) scored with 6:41 left in the first half. It was only the 11th goal the Rockers allowed this season. Senior forward Brett Slepokura scored his 25th goal of the season on a crossing pass from sophomore midfielder Tom Baumann.

Baumann crossed right-to-left to Slepokura, who headed the ball from 12 yards over Kaplan's outstretched arms. "We've had our share of frustration," Kaplan said. "The score may say different, but I thought we played like winners." "It was nice to get here, since we failed four previous times," Gold-band said. "Maybe next year we'll pull it off."

His coach, Dave McMahon, says some recruiters believe Hall with his 4.6-second speed in the 40 and 11.2 seconds for 100 meters is best suited for strong safety. McMahon sees Hall as an ideal fullback. "But there's something about linebacker," a wide-eyed Hall.

"I like hitting people and making tackles. My cousin is my height and my weight 6-foot-l, 215 pounds and he's doing it. He's not starting at West Virginia, but he's close." Hall's insertion at outside linebacker late in his sophomore year is one of McMahon's fondest memories. In Valley terminology, OLBs are corners. "We went up to Lakeland and they knocked us right out of the box," the coach says.

"We realized it was because we had little corners, so we put Aaron there and, even though he was only a sophomore, he made the difference" in the State championship win over Pascack Valley.

EWING TOWNSHIP The term "co-champ" is familiar to Harrison, and the Blue Tide earned that title Thursday night with a scoreless tie against Cinna-minson in the Group 2 State final. Sophomore goalie Pedro Melo made 11 saves at Trenton State College to help Harrison win its sixth New Jersey State Interscho-lastic Athletic Association title, inlcluding five co-championships. It was Harrison's 15th shutout of the season. The Blue Tide (18-4-2) only allowed 14 goals this season. It was the sixth time this season that they failed to score.
