Sports at Newton Catholic is a combination of hard work and enjoyment. Our teams, although not always champions, display an unending sense of school pride and team unity. Victory is our relentless goal, however, the one major difference that sets our school apart is that winning is not the ultimate goal, loyalty is. Our fans’ loyalty as well as the super spirit which is generated at all of our games are both characteristics which make our sports program so enjoyable and unique.

Our team had three great new coaches this year, Thomas Raeke, John Papalia, and Paul Doty, who brought with them new ideas and attitudes. They showed us amore personal system and taught us pride in ourselves and our team. It was made clear to us that their doors were always open. They made it their business to help us with our problems and really become a part of us. Most importantly, they taught us how to fight back and to win. The seniors and everyone would like to thank them for a rewarding and memorable season. a0 FRONT (L to R): Paul Casella, Bill Carey, Dennis Versiackas, Tom Sbordone, Dennis Cameron, Paul Terry, Jay Black- ington, Bill Whelton, Tim Murtagh, Bill Kidik, Kevin Delli- Colli.
