This action occurred just three minutes into the first quarter. With two minutes left in the half, Grabek again threw to Yan- tosh for a 58 yard touchdown. Kevin Wagner add- ed another point with a successful kick. The score at the half was 13-0. Action occurred in the fourth play of the second halt. Steven Pytlik intercepted a Somers pass, gaining 25 yards. Three short runs were then executed by running back Dean Shef- cyk, allowing Grabek to throw his third touchdown pass on the fourth down. The pass was run by Carmello Rosa, who was wide open in the end zone. Wagner again made the extra point. ln the closing minutes of the third quarter, the Cougars had the ball on Somers 11. Doug Mackro made two good runs and scored from the one yard line on the first play of the fourth quarter. Once again Wagner scored the kick.
