CYAN YELLOW MAGENTA BLACK Jenerette will also play tight end on

offense. Senior Kristan Seroux will compete with juniors Kyle Paige and Bob Dinsmore for the offensive tackle positions. Franzone, Paterson and junior Dave Herrmann will make up the linebacker corps. Junior Mike Grabel and McCarthy are presently battling for the other vacant secondary spot. When asked about the offensive backfield, Ciccotelli answered, “I think we have very good speed in our running backs. We are very pleased with it and La’Marr McDaniel is our fullback. He did very well for us last year.” Ciccotelli was asked if the Raiders were going to focus primarily on a running game or a passing game and he replied, “We will have a balanced attack. We don’t want to be one dimensional. That is what we are going to try to stay away from. So, our opponents must defend the entire field.” When asked about their depth, Ciccotelli responded, “Well, in high school, I would like to say that we are three deep. Although we have some young kids who in the future will be

outstanding football players, they are second team and we are going to put our best eleven athletes on the field. We can’t afford to take a top guy and put him behind somebody.” Ciccotelli summarized his feelings about his team. “We are excited about the group of kids. We feel that we have an outstanding group. Several boys worked very hard on the off-season. They have worked very hard in camp and have done everything that we have asked from them.” With Westfield being reclassified to Group 3 status, the Raiders will definitely be affected when the state group sectionals time arrives. “Right, that will have an effect. Well, eight teams get in (the sectionals) this year. It’s a new format. Westfield is a big rivalry for us, they are a very good team and they have a lot of kids coming back this year,” Ciccotelli said. “But, we must play one game at a time. We must be ready for Hudson Catholic who we open with and we can’t be looking by anybody.”

Raider X-C Girls Have Mighty Big Shoes to Fill By DAVID B. CORBIN

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader and The Times

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School girls cross country team will be competing with very youthful team this year. In addition, the Raiders’ No. 1, 2 and 3 runners, Dana Esposito, Jeanette Tourjee and Andrea Maggi, have graduated. Raider Head Coach Bill Klimas is presently determining who will be his top seven runners. “We are asking some pretty inexperienced runners to fill some mighty big shoes,” explained Klimas. “We graduated four of our top seven runners.” Leading the Raiders’ attack will be senior Tri-Captains Holly Oates, Allison Breidenstein and Stephanie Quinn who are considered to be the No. 1,2 and 3 runners. “Presently, we have seniors Holly Oates who is in her fourth year at cross country and Allison Breidenstein. Stephanie Quinn who did quite well in track last year will be starting her first year as a distance runner,” mentioned Klimas.

The Raiders do have several fine youthful runners who will fill in the next three positions. Sophomore Kate Bereznak, Erin Kelly and Sandra Franco are the most likely candidates for those slots. “The Seventh position is still up for grabs. It’s going to be pretty competitive. It’s a pretty young team. We lost quite a few starters to graduation,” stated Klimas. When asked about his outlook for this season, Klimas suggested, “It takes a long time to develop a distance runner. We have come a long way in the last couple of years. Last year was the first time that we have had an official cross country team.” Klimas added, “When you go up against the likes of Westfield which has such a tradition of cross country excellence, we have a long, long way to go before we are in that caliber.” Klimas concluded, “We are working very hard and I expect some good things out of them. We are going to be competitive this year and I am looking forward to having a good season.”

Raider Boys Deserve Respect in X-Country By DAVID B. CORBIN

Specially Written for The Westfield Leader and The Times

The Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School boys cross country team face a major challenge this season and must introduce an extremely young squad to fill in the slots vacated by graduates James Canterbury, Ben Lee and Eric Schimming. One senior, four juniors and two sophomores are expected to makeup the top seven runners. Senior Captain Josh Ricca will be leading the Raiders in their quest to be competitive. “Josh is the only senior in our top seven,” explained Raider Head Coach Jeff Koegel. “We have four juniors and two sophomores making up the rest,” added Koegel. “Canterbury and Lee were our No. 1 and 3 runners last year. Josh was No. 2.” Juniors Nick Klastava, Peter Mosko, Jim L’Heureux and Russ Rabadeau were very strong last year and will be joined by sophomores Matt Schimming and Matt Winkler. In considering who his top guns will be this year, Koegel said, “Josh and Nick will be pushing each other for the top position. Nick may have the better potential but Josh is a very tough guy with a strong will.” Koegel feels that this year’s team may stack up even better than last year’s despite losing Canterbury and Lee. “All the other guys run with the

pack. They may constantly try to beat each other but they all stick together and work as a team,” commented Koegel. “I actually think that we don’t get enough respect,” stated Koegel. “Some teams believe that since we lost Jaimie (Canterbury) that we are going down the tube, but a lot of these guys have really picked it up. In winter track, Nick went from an 11:02 two-miler to 10:00 flat by the end of the season. He had one of the best area times. I believe that our top three runners will cut their times sufficiently to fill in any gap,” added Koegel. When asked about his lack of depth, Koegel responded, “We don’t have 40-50 guys out for our team. This is a soccer town, but you have to deal with that.” Koegel continued, “I look for big things from these guys, but we really can’t afford any injuries.” As to the Raiders’ chances in the conference and in the counties, Koegel said, “If everything goes well, we do have a shot at winning. It could be a toss up. Last year we beat Cranford, Cranford beat Westfield, then Westfield beat us. Although Cranford lost a few runners, they have several good freshmen. I believe, at this point Cranford may have a slight nod because they are the defending champs.”

Raiders Are Excited About Upcoming Football Season

ing nature of her team. Other girls who may be getting plenty of action are seniors Sara Burnett, Amanda Pirozzi, Megan Pollock and Christine Thompson and juniors Kristen Leonardis, Lauren Mattes and Jen Woodbury. Woodbury, who played goalie on the 17-0 JV squad last year is the starting goalie this season and has already recorded a shutout over East Brunswick on September 11. “She’s doing a pretty solid job. It’s unfortunate, in one sense, that when we do play really well, the goalies really don’t get tested much. She has good fundamentals and is a hard worker,” commented McFadden. “In previous years, our offense was so poor that we had to rely entirely on defense,” added McFadden. McFadden further commented on the Blue Devils recent 2-0 victory over East Brunswick. “The girls did well against East Brunswick. They did a lot of nice things and they understood a lot of concepts. It is just a matter of getting everybody to work together. McFadden conditions her girls quite well and was asked whether she has been stressing defense or offense more. “I run the girls all of the time. I like to stress both parts of the game. I personally feel that the more offensive we are the less defense we have to play,” commented McFadden. “Most good field hockey games are low scoring. What I want to avoid is to have one or two breakdowns in a game which we are totally dominating and end up losing,” added McFadden. The Blue Devils have a good shot at winning their conference and the Union County Tournament. When asked about her chances and stiffest competition within the

county, McFadden answered, “Oak Knoll, Kent Place and Cranford have always been the top teams in the county. You never know from year to year what may happen, but those three teams have been the ones that were on top of the bunch over the years.” With the acknowledgment of two straight years of undefeated JV teams, McFadden has been bombarded with questions of what adjustments must be made at the varsity level. McFadden pointed out, “Yes, they did beat Oak Knolls and Kent Place. I see some good carryover to the varsity, but I also know that the varsity level is a different paced game. Everything is faster! The competition and intensity is much higher. What I am hoping is that the girls can carryover their skills to the varsity level and perform well at that higher level.”
