Bramuche Only Senior A Team With Potential And Unity. The Lady Crusaders Varsity Basketball team this past year was headed by coach Art Steffes. This year ' s team was a young team with only one senior, but has a lot of potential for the future because of this, stated coach Steffes at the begin- ning of the season. He also said, The girls were aggressive, and played ex- tremely hard. The Lady Crusaders this past year were Susie Bramuchi, (Senior), Marilu Almeida, Carol Nefzger, Debbie Poumakis, (Juniors), Shelley Austgen, Peggy Curran, Mary Groth, Suzie Pouma- kis, Sue Werb, (Sophomores), and Laney Sifrit, Heather Werb, (Freshman).

Bowling Spare Me No Strikes This years bowling team experienced shortlived success. The boy ' s team lead the league during the first half of the season. In the second half they lost their top position to P.B.G.H.S. The girl ' s team also enjoyed first place ranking until the final two weeks of the season. When all the matches were fin- ished and the points were counted, nei- ther of the Newman teams came out on top. The boy ' s team finished with a third place ranking. The girls went one step better than the boys with a second place showing. The teams were moderated by Mr. Pat- rick O ' Hare. The captain of the boy ' s team was Tom DeLoretto. The girl ' s team was lead by Schree Hach. One of the things that held back the boys team were the handicaps. On the other hand, the girls were helped by the handicaps placed on the other teams. The purpose of the handicap is to elimi- nate any unfair advantage and allow com- petition among the teams. One point of interest is that the bowl- ing team had to furnish their own uni- forms. Members of the bowling team were not allowed to receive a varsity let- ter at the end of the season. The reason for this being that bowling is not consid- ered as a sport at Cardinal Newman High School, as Coach Sam Budnyk so aptly explained, Bowling is not recognized as a sport in the State of Florida. The Flor- ida Athletic Association Recognizes it as a club-sport. A good example of this would be the first year of girl ' s soccer was only considered as a club-sport, and there were only a few teams in the county. Because of this, there were no playoffs or state championships in girl ' s soccer, as was the case in bowling.
