round game.

both Class B teams were penalty ridden, being assessed slashes and unnecessary
roughness calls throughout the game. Both teams seemed to be over-aggressive
and the result was more penalties then any of the other Section V Final contests.

junior Dan Caufield played the first three quarters with 14s/15ga (48%) and
