City Title
At Veterans Stadium
St. Joe's Prep 14, Lincoln 13
After rushing star Joe Rabuck was lost to an early thigh injury,
Joe McErlean (23-92) and Michael DeFeo (17-85) impressively took up the
slack and QB John Salera, who also made seven tackles at defensive back,
scored the TDs on runs of 1 and 5 yards. The tying TD came with 10:36
left and Aidan Diviny kicked his second PAT. For Lincoln, which made no
serious threat thereafter, Jon Meade (14-46) ran for two TDs, Frank
Pacifico passed 5-for-14 for 75 yards and Bill Cook and Jack MacIlvain
made 12 tackles each.
