SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 1978 JACK O'BRIAN, ...10 Sports MOVIE TIMETABLE. .....10 Cinderella ella La Lancers do it By JIM HINTELMANN LAKEWOOD- "It was a dream come true." said St. John Vianney basketball coach Brian Noone. "We came right back at them and didn't get said standout guard Kevin Flanagan. "The bench was behind us all the way," exclaimed sharpshooter Pat Sheehan.

Regardless of the reasons, St. John Vianney closed the books on a remarkable chapter in NJSIAA tournament history yesterday by stunning Our Lady of the Valley, 65-58, to take the state Parochial championship. Going into the tourney, the Lancers were struggling with a 12-12 record and were not too impressive in a 52-43 victory over Mater Dei. The Lancers then stunned top-seeded St. Joseph's of Toms River, 69-52 and followed it up with an even bigger 61-55 upset of Bishop Eustace to take the South Jersey Parochial crown.

In yesterday's game, the Lancers put the finishing touches on the greatest sports victory in the school's history with a solid all-around performance. While the entire starting team contributed, it was the second-half performance of Flanagan that highlighted the vietory, Flanagan poured in 20 points in the second half on an assortment of layups and jumpers and it blunted a Valley comeback that saw the Knights rally to go in front. "Flanagan is a fierce comeptitor," said Noone. "He likes to run and he can set the house on fire." "I was pretty disappointed about the first half," said thought that they would block my shots due to their size. "In the second half, just shot.

"In the regular season, we blew some big leads. now we came right back at them. Everyone got into the act." Trailing(25-20) at the half, the Knights(24-2) suddenly caught earlier and dropped in 10 of 12 shots in the third quarter. finally grabbed the lead, 39-38 with 1:35 remaining in the third quarter, and appeared to have taken control of the game. This was a different St.

John team than the one that lost the tough games during the regular season, however. Sheehan regained the lead with a jumper, but Jerome Anderson scored for the Knights to make the score, 40-39. "I told my kids that we would have to play tougher defense and be more aggressive on offense," said Noone. Flanagan then gave the Lancers a big lift by putting in a jumper from the corner and he followed with a layup just before the buzzer for a 43-40 Lancer edge. The opening minutes of the fourth quarter belonged to Flanagan.
