Richardson contributed strongly
to a: massive 350 yards gained oh
the ground and Jean Pierre
Lorengarde ran for three touch­downs.
The Devils' offensive line,
led'by Cary Huggard, IHnen
Anzelone and Charles Johnson,
provided a balanced attack on
the bapkis Oceanmde team. With
a current record of three wins and
two losses, the Red Devils can be
virtuiUly assured of a playoff spot
if they win (wo of their next three
ganaes, spurred by their Home­coming
triumph. Saturday's
game will take place in Port
Washington.
Also'a Homecoming winner
was the Kiwanis Club's second
