Zwaan's TD tosses went to Mark Logue and Steve Adelizzi. Joe Santoleri had eight unassisted tackles and an interception. For Kenrick, the highlight came when Dennis Molyneaux picked up a blocked punt and ran 39 yards for a TD. City Championship At Franklin Field Carroll 15, Frankford 14     In only its third season of CL football, Carroll rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to capture the win under coach Joe McNichol. Bill Zwaan sparked the comeback by passing 12-for-22 for 123 yards and TDs to twin brothers Mike (4-37) and Steve Adelizzi (7-75).
