Defensive Driving It isn’t often that one sees a driver without a license, unless of course one is a member of the Sayreville golf team. The driver is one of the integral tools which led the golf team to finish its season with a 7-13 record. Despite a lack of seniors, solid underclass effort drove the players to improve last year’s overall average of 254 by six strokes. Coach Helwig commented that the team worked hard all season to reach their present 248 average. On an individual level, Ivan Ferro suc- cessfully ended the season with a 48.1 average. Others who contributed their talents were Mark Newcomer, with a 48.2 average, Randy Borup, with a 48.6 average, and Tom Haltli, with a 51.4 average. With strong determination and added ex- perience, the golf team displayed promising abilities that will be seen next season.

Follow the Bouncing Ball Though the balls weren’t bouncing in Sayreville’s favor, the consistent rallying of the players helped the tennis team during the season. With spirit intact, the players finished with a 9-15 record. The team was led by veterans Greg Dusko, who played 3rd singles, Frank Sollecito, who played 2nd singles, and Dave DeFillipis, who played 1st singles.

The Right Ingredients Take heaping portions of talent, spirit, and experience; mix thoroughly with long hours of practice; and top it off with a never-say- die philosophy. This proved to be a suc- cessful recipe for a winning Varsity baseball season. Led by a corps of seasoned veterans, the 1980-81 squad compiled an impressive 19- 8 record, which included a trip to the Finals of the County Tournament. There the Bombers lost a hard fought match, to season rivals Edison, by a score of 3-2. Although each team member possessed the “tools” for success, certain players were honored for their outstanding talents. Mark McSpadden, Ray Kreiger, and Tom Cannon each received a berth on the All-County team. Kreiger was also named to the 2nd All-State team and was awarded a baseball scholarship to Clemson University. Cannon was signed by the San Diego Padres to play minor league ball. When asked to comment on the success of the team, Coach Gozora concluded proud- ly, “It was a good season, and that’s exactly what we expected.” ABOVE: In an attempt to score his teammate from 3rd, Steve Cunha eyes the opposing pitcher carefully.
