Spot Shots On Sports
Massapequa continued
their drive towards an undefeated
season and remained
in contention for the
coveted Rutgers Cup which is
symbolic of football supremacy.
Coach Lou Luba will
spend three remaining days
preparing for the Chiefs'
final contest against Lawrence
High School.
In defeating one of the
better North Shore teams
who had been undefeated
up until Saturday, Coach
Luba commented, " We
worked hard for the West-bury
game and will be doing
the same for Lawrence. Steve
McDonald really played one
of his setter games. He carried
the ball for 250 yards
and 22 carries, scored three
touchdowns and has amassed
a total of 17 touchdowns
for the year. Right now, is
is only one short of the school
record and his play against
Westbury really highlights
his overall skills."
Quarterback Pat Olson was
also singled out for a fine
performance, he hit 9 of 14
passes.
Defensively, the Chiefs had
little difficulty after starting
quarterback Mike Patti
was injured, Westbury did
not hit pay dirt until late
in the last quarter, when
Massapequa had substituted
the first string line.
