JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Under the guidonce of coaches McAlarnen and Shevlin the J.V. team learns the principles and rules of good basketball, preparing themselves to fill the shoes of the Varsity. In anchor formation the boys are: managers G. Coffey and J. McAlarnen, J. Leahy, J. Franco, E. Grassi, W. Meyer, L. Lilio, W. Mahoney. J. McAlarnen, M. Callahan, M. McAlarnen, T. Doonan, J. Amenhauser, and W. Heppard. Absent for the picture was W. Sharkey. Bill Sharkey shoots for a two-pointer as Matt McAlarnen and Eddie Grassi watch the ball and prepare for a rebound if necessary. The J.V.'s by exhibiting excellent offense and defense ability constitute a promising Varsity squad. They came up the victors this time against St. Augustine's. As a Jimmy attempts a block, Billy Meyer jumps and scores. Larry Lillo, al- ways alert, follows Billy’s every move and keeps his eyes glued on the ball. The game was tense with the lead bouncing back and forth. However, the cheers of the fans inspired the players with a burning zeal to grab the victory in the last minutes. 24

Diocesan and South Jersey Champs, the team takes a breather to pose with Mon- signor Crine, pastor of St. Ann’s, and Coach Frank McAlarnen. They are Richie Young, Rich Woolston, Paul Grassi, John Newdeck, Corky Corchiani, Ray McAlar- nen, Rich Kita, Tom Strang, Monsignor Crine, Coach McAlarnen, Charlie Town and Fran McAlarnen, Jr. The Hall of Fame trophy is only one reminder of the '63-'64 season in which the Crusaders showed the other teams that famous Wild- wood Catholic touch. Whether win or lose these boys always accepted the result in the true spirit of sportsmanship — the trademark of our team. Who's the basketball header? John New- deck, of course. Corky Corchiani comes to his aid as John does his best to keep the ball. John didn't really lose his head, but rather was high scorer in the 83-73 victory over Sacred Heart. 23

BASEBALL J. Ketterer swings and hits to add to tho Crusader score. In spite of pro pitching and hitting, the fates chose that Wildwood Catholic should be on the wrong side of the 4-2 score against Lower Cape May Regional. T. Strang sends one out to left field leaving the Caper catcher looking into an empty glove. The umpire will follow the ball as Tommy makes it to first base.
